Integrate wireless thermostat and smart radiator TRVs
My system includes one wireless thermostat in a family room, plus smart radiator TRVs in bedrooms, hallway, dining room and lounge. I’m trying to decide which room is best for the wireless thermostat and the TRVs. Should the wireless thermostat be in the warmest room without a TRV, in the coldest room without a TRV, or in the warmest room with a TRV or coldest room with a TRV, or somewhere else? I’m actually thinking of switching the wireless thermostat for another TRV - is that the best option?

Hello @Yesruf,
The best place to put a Smart Thermostat or Wireless Temperature Sensor should be based on the following considerations:
- Which is the most used room in your home?
- Where are there heat sources and/or air drafts?
- Where is it suitable to place my device 1.5 m above the floor?
- How can I ensure my device is at lease 1m away from the Internet Bridge?
You can read more about where to place your device based on these considerations in the article I've linked below.0

@Yesruf In principle, the best option is to have TRVs on every radiator. You should check that there is a boiler circuit bypass. The wireless room stat is +/- 0.1 deg C, the TRV is +/- 0.5 deg C. Then the wireless room stat goes in the room for comfort that you use most, accounting for temperature accuracy.
