Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 – Keep your home warm and cozy without paying too much
An intelligent radiator thermostat not only saves money, but also increases comfort and offers the ideal introduction to the world of smart homes. This is exactly where the smart Aqara W600 comes in. The Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 provides intelligent control for radiator valves and saves energy through automation features such as schedules, geofencing, presence detection and window open detection.
Thanks to Thread and Zigbee dual support, it can be seamlessly integrated into Matter ecosystems and enables precise temperature control in 0.5 °C increments. It fits the most common valve types and runs for up to two years on just two AA batteries.
- Thread/Zigbee dual protocol for Matter compatibility with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and more
- Automations with schedules, geofencing, room occupancy detection and open-window detection
- Compatible with RA, RAV, Caleffi, Giacomini, M28×1.5 and Oventrop M30×1.5 valves
- Quiet under 30 dB, rotatable display and up to 2 years battery life
The Aqara W600 optimizes heating operation by only activating radiators when heat is actually needed – for example, via up to seven time windows per day or five preset modes per room. Geofencing recognizes when someone comes home and starts the heating in good time, while presence or climate sensors such as the Aqara FP2 or FP300W100 automatically switch off unused rooms. Window-open detection pauses operation in the event of a sudden drop in temperature or an open window to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Frost protection is activated automatically at temperatures below 5 °C and protects the pipes from freezing.
Installation is simple and does not require any tool changes to the valve: the thermostat fits directly onto M30×1.5 connections or – with the help of adapters – onto RA, RAV, RAVL, Caleffi, Giacomini and M28×1.5 valves and therefore covers most European radiators. If you have a colder corner at home, the W600 is also ideal: It can be paired with an external Aqara temperature sensor (e.g. the Climate Sensor W100), which you place in the colder zone. The W600 then regulates the heating based on the measured values from this external sensor so that this corner is also pleasantly warm. Two AA batteries last up to two years with typical use (8 months per year), and the app alerts you in good time when the battery is low.
The rotatable LED display shows the temperature from any angle, and the motor runs ultra-quietly at less than 30 dB – even at night without causing a disturbance. Control via app, voice assistant (Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri) or connected W100 sensor.
And the best thing is: until December 22, you can save a whole 15 percent when you buy the Aqara W600 and end up paying just 42.49 euros. Use the code “LASTMINDEAL”
