Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do I need a separate hub for these valves?

Yes, the electriQ Zigbee Smart Radiator Valves require the electriQ Zigbee Hub to operate. They are often sold bundled with the hub or as add-ons to an existing hub setup.

How long do the batteries last?

The valves are designed for power efficiency and can last up to 12 months on a set of 3 AA batteries, depending on usage patterns.

Can I control the valves without the app?

While basic adjustments might be possible directly on the valve, full control, scheduling, and remote access require the smartphone app and an internet connection.

What types of radiators are compatible?

The valves are designed to fit most common radiators with a standard M30 x 1.5 connector and come with several adapters for popular valve types like Danfoss RA/RAV, Caleffi, Giacomini, and M28 TRV.

Can these valves work with other smart home systems?

Yes, they are compatible with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing for voice control and integration into broader smart home routines.

What happens if my internet connection goes down?

Zigbee devices often support local control, meaning some functions like pre-set schedules may continue to operate even without an active internet connection, though remote access and real-time updates will be unavailable.

How do I set up a schedule for a specific room?

Schedules are configured through the electriQ app. You can create custom heating programs for each valve (room) based on time of day and desired temperature.

Troubleshooting

Valve not responding to commands

Check battery levels, ensure the Zigbee Hub is powered and connected to the internet, and verify the valve is within Zigbee range. Try re-pairing the valve with the hub.

Difficulty pairing with Zigbee Hub

Ensure the valve is within close range of the hub during pairing. Reset the valve to factory settings (refer to hub manual for reset procedure) and attempt pairing again.

Inaccurate temperature readings

Ensure the valve is not placed near direct heat sources (like ovens or direct sunlight) or drafts, which can affect sensor readings. Allow the valve a few hours to acclimate after installation.

App shows valve as offline

Verify your smartphone has an internet connection. Check the Zigbee Hub's status. Restart the app and the Zigbee Hub.

Heating does not turn on/off as scheduled

Confirm the schedule is correctly set in the app. Check if the valve is in manual override mode or if a different mode (like Eco or Anti-Frost) is active. Ensure the valve has power.
