Hama Smart Radiator Thermostat Starter Set (2 pcs + hub): what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Complete 2-pack set: two thermostats plus hub in one pack, a cheap way in for two rooms with nothing more to buy
- Batteries included: 4× AA plus two adapter sets are included, so you can get going straight away
- Open-window detection: detects ventilation and turns down automatically, plus away mode and frost protection
- Valve protection against calcification: regular valve movement prevents stuck valves, which extends service life
- Expandable as you like: further Hama thermostats can be added to the same hub
Points of criticism
- Disposable batteries: runs on AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery, so over time there are replacement costs and battery waste
- Tied to the Hama app: control and functions run via the Hama Home app; nothing works without the hub
- No Matter/Thread documented: the features name Wi-Fi, and modern standards such as Matter or Thread are not listed
