FAQs

Do I need a separate hub for these smart radiator valves?

Yes, the electriQ Zigbee Smart Radiator Valves require the electriQ Zigbee Hub to function. The hub is available for purchase separately or as part of a bundle.

How long do the batteries typically last?

With normal usage, the batteries (3 AA) can last up to 12 months. Battery life may vary depending on usage patterns and network conditions.

Can I control the valves when I'm away from home?

Yes, as long as your electriQ Zigbee Hub is connected to the internet and your smartphone has an internet connection, you can control the valves remotely via the electriQ app.

What types of radiators are compatible with these valves?

The valves are designed to replace most detachable TRV radiator heads and feature a standard M30 x 1.5 connector. They also come with several adapters (Danfoss RA, Danfoss RAV, Caleffi, Giacomini, M28 TRV) to fit common radiator valve bodies.

How do I save energy with these valves?

You can save energy by setting personalized heating schedules for each room, only heating occupied spaces to desired temperatures, and utilizing features like open window detection. This can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption and lower heating bills.

Can I integrate these valves with other smart home devices?

Yes, these valves can integrate with popular smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing for voice control and inclusion in broader smart home routines.

What happens if my internet connection goes down?

Basic functionality and scheduled operations set locally via the Zigbee network may continue to work. However, remote control and some cloud-dependent automations will not be available until the internet connection is restored.

Troubleshooting

Valve not responding to app commands

Ensure the electriQ Zigbee Hub is powered on and connected to your network. Check that the valve has sufficient battery power and is within range of the Zigbee Hub. Try restarting the Zigbee Hub and re-pairing the valve if necessary.

Inaccurate temperature readings

Ensure the valve is not placed near direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight) or drafts, which can affect its internal temperature sensor. Allow the valve some time to acclimate to the room's ambient temperature after installation or significant changes.

Difficulty pairing the valve with the Zigbee Hub

Make sure the valve is within close proximity to the Zigbee Hub during the pairing process. Ensure the Hub is in pairing mode and follow the step-by-step instructions in the electriQ app carefully. Reset the valve to factory settings if needed and try again.

Valve consumes batteries faster than expected

Check the Zigbee network strength; a weak signal can cause the valve to use more power. Ensure no excessive communication is happening (e.g., frequent polling if not scheduled). Verify that high-performance batteries are being used and consider their expiry date.

Scheduled heating not activating

Verify that the schedule is correctly set in the electriQ app and that the valve is online and connected. Ensure the valve is not in manual override mode. Check the time zone settings on your app and hub.
