FAQs

Do I need a separate hub to use these smart valves?

No, the electriQ WiFi Smart Radiator Valves connect directly to your home WiFi network without the need for a separate hub.

How much energy can I expect to save?

You can reduce your energy consumption by an average of 25% by precisely controlling heating in individual rooms and only when needed.

What type of batteries does it use and how long do they last?

The valve operates on 3 AA batteries, which are not included. They typically last up to 9 months with regular use.

Will these valves fit my existing radiators?

Yes, they are designed to retrofit most common radiators and include 6 different adapters to ensure broad compatibility with various valve types.

Can I control the heating when I'm not at home?

Yes, with an internet connection, you can control and monitor your heating remotely via the electriQ smartphone app from anywhere.

How do I install the smart radiator valve?

Installation is designed to be a simple DIY process. You unscrew the old valve head, attach the smart valve, insert batteries, and connect it to your WiFi via the app. No professional help is required.

What happens if my WiFi signal is weak in a certain room?

For optimal remote control and performance, a strong WiFi signal is recommended. If you experience inconsistent connectivity, consider exploring solutions like WiFi extenders or the electriQ Zigbee valves, which offer a more reliable alternative.

Troubleshooting

Valve not connecting to WiFi

Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. Check that the password is entered correctly and that the valve is within range of your router. Try restarting your router and the valve.

App shows valve as offline

Verify your home WiFi is working. Check the valve's battery level and replace if low. Ensure the valve is within WiFi range.

Heating not turning on/off as scheduled

Confirm the schedule is correctly set in the app. Check if the valve is in the correct mode (e.g., not in 'Anti-Frost'). Ensure the target temperature is set appropriately.

Inaccurate room temperature readings

Make sure the valve is not placed near a heat source (like a radiator or direct sunlight) or in a draft, which can affect its sensor. Clean any dust from the valve's vents.

Low battery warnings

Replace the 3 AA batteries promptly. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for best performance and longevity.
