Our Upgraded Smart Radiator Thermostat Expands the Wiser 2nd Generation Range

We’ve strengthened our growing Wiser 2nd Generation smart home ecosystem with the launch of the new and improved Wiser 2nd Generation Radiator Thermostat, delivering quieter operation, improved compatibility and an enhanced user experience for installers and homeowners alike.

Designed to work seamlessly as part of Wiser’s 1st and 2nd Generation platforms, the improved radiator thermostat gives users precise room-by-room heating control while introducing a range of key enhancements over the previous model.

Among the improvements is an ultra-quiet operating noise level, helping to minimise disruption in living spaces, while Zigbee certification ensures reliable wireless connectivity across the smart heating system. The thermostat is also compatible with over 95% of all major brand radiator valves, making installation straightforward across a wide range of existing heating systems.

Ease of use has also been enhanced with an enhanced twist control for activating the Boost function which now features an audible click feedback, while battery performance has been extended to deliver more than two years battery life when using the included alkaline batteries, based on Drayton standard operating conditions. In addition, the device is now compatible with Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, offering homeowners greater flexibility and a more sustainable power option.

Manufactured in Britain at our Plymouth factory, the new Wiser radiator thermostat joins the expanding Wiser 2nd Generation portfolio, which enables homeowners to create an intelligent, connected home through a single platform of heating control, energy management, automation, Matter Bridge compatibility, and a growing range of smart home devices, like sensors and power modules. The Wiser system offers room-by-room scheduling, remote control via the Wiser Home app and up to 30%* energy savings through smarter energy management.

James Clark, Technical Training Manager at Drayton, said: “The Wiser 2nd Generation Radiator Thermostat builds on the proven performance of the original product while introducing meaningful improvements that benefit both installers and end users. From quieter operation and enhanced battery performance to broader compatibility and simpler controls, every enhancement has been designed to make smart heating even easier to install, use and live with.

“We also want to make sure installers have the support they need to confidently recommend and install the latest Wiser products. Alongside the launch, our programme of trade promotions, merchant activity and new training content will give installers more opportunities to engage with the range, develop their knowledge and benefit from choosing Drayton.”

The Wiser 2nd Generation Radiator Thermostat is available now in all good merchants nationwide.
