Netatmo Connected and Smart Energy Saving Thermostat – WiFi – Reduce Bills & Control Heating Remotely by App | Compatible with Individual Boilers, NTH01-AMZ

Way better than hive
I recently bought hive thermostat and it caused me so much headache. It kept disconnecting. So i bought the Netatmo to replace it. I did this install myself and it was a little bit confusing with the wires. My hive thermostat didn’t have a gray wire (it was cut off) so i thought this won’t need it either, but the relay wasn’t turning heating on when i put the black one only. I put the gray in the red slot and it finally worked. (Pic) I hope this helps someone else with an Ideal Logic combi boiler like mine.
Massive feature for me is the hysteresis settings in the app. I didn’t know until now that’s what that’s called. You can adjust the threshold how many degree points it turns the heating on. Hive was automatically only 0.1 and it kept making my heating turn on for like 2 mins at 10 min intervals. I hated that. So big plus to Netatmo app for that.
Install was pretty straight forward, now i wonder why did i ever get an engineer for the hive one. The one hiccup was the wire as it wasn’t marked on the boiler. But the rest was easy peasy. They have some old videos on youtube but your boiler might be different so it won’t match 100%
You don’t need to use the app. You can connect the thermostat to the relay directly. The connection seems to be thermostat to relay through radio frequency. Then relay to router through wifi (if desired)
But if you do get the app, connection to wifi was straight forward as well through the app. It uses 2.4ghz wifi but it was able to connect to my combined router wifi. It hasn’t had any issues with connection so far.
In the app you have schedules and you can set different temperatures for different settings. E.g. comfort, comfort+, night. You can change each one to your preferred temps. You can also choose to have just one temp all day round. I am always home so i need same temperatures all day. But it is nice to be able to easily put it to automatically lower a bit at night. I attached some pics of the app schedules. (Don’t judge my high temps, I have lizard blood)
There’s a boost option in the app which is nice, you can choose temp and time but it was a little bit unintuitive.
There’s other smart self learning settings and apparently some PID heating algorithm that will be allowed to be enabled later on after it learns your system. But i don’t need any of that. I didn’t want it to try to be smart, i just wanted more control. Schedules, boost, hysteresis settings. All i needed.
For the thermostat itself, it wasn’t intuitive that you just press the sides to increase/decrease temps. And the small numbers are hard to read at a glance. This is due to the minimalistic style. I have pretty good eye sight but i struggle to see if its 21.5 or 21.8.
I regret not buying this during black friday sales. It would have saved me a lot of money.
I read the general lifetime for this is 2 years. I will see if it’s true in 2 years time. If it is only 2 years I’m still happy with it.

Easy to install and use
I am not a plumber/electrician but able to understand a YouTube demo video. I was able to install the relay and thermostat (replacing a wireless thermostat on Worcester boiler) easily and it took me about 15 mins. Getting the app set up and kit identified on it took a bit longer and kept having to retry, finally using my iPad rather than my phone it all worked, but that took about 45 mins in the end. This may have something to do with my iPad having latest iOS installed, but not sure. The app is now working on all devices and easy UX to manage controlling heating. I used to have a Cosy device in my last place and this is far easier and simpler to use. Also getting it at Black Friday prices was certainly a bonus.

Perfect smart solution for controlling individual radiators
These were a great addition to my Apple HomeKit smart home and they work perfectly with my Netatmo thermostat. I love being able to control the temperature of individual rooms.

Wouldn’t Connect
Not sure why but one connected but the second one wouldn’t pair. So returned. But they are well made

Lediglich 2xAA benötigt. Arretierung der eingelegten Batterien ist verbesserungsbedürftig. Ansonsten empfehlenswert.

Achat du starter pack NETATMO pour deux radiateur dans mon appartement.
Vanne très facile à changer soi-même i on a déjà une vanne thermostatique montée sur le radiateur.. on dévisse.. on revisse avec l’embout qui va bien et hop le tour est joué…
Par contre, malgré mon installation très fiable en fibre chez moi, cela a été assez impérieux de bien faire fonctionner le relais en wifi je ne sais pour quelle raison d’ailleurs j’ai finalement réussi.. à part ce la , l’application est top mais aussi la version ordinateur qui est très pratique.. ce que j’ai apprécié de plus immédiatement, c’est la diversité des réglages possibles avec des plages horaires qu’on peut rajouter à volonter dans la journée et certains jours seulement.. une autre chose également plus que très appréciable, c’est qu’on peut définir et donc changer la température indiquée sur la tête .. en effet , on peut mettre la température qu’on trouve sur un thermomètre classique chez soi afin de bien avoir la juste température.. d’origine j’avais 26 quand j’ai mis la vanne alors que j’avais 22 chez moi.. j’ai donc changé en 22 degrés et hop .. c’est parti pour 22 dans la température ambiante de la tête.. facile donc.. en résumé.. .peut-être laborieux pour trouver la bonne place pour le relais et stabiliser la connexion avec l’appli et les vannes.. une fois en route tout fonctionne bien… on verra dans le temps car je les ai mises que depuis 3 jours !
