Vesternet launches the Eurotronic Comet Thermostat in two connectivity options, giving you the flexibility to choose the wireless standard that best fits your smart home ecosystem. Both versions deliver intelligent heating control and energy savings while integrating seamlessly with your existing setup.
Smart Heating Control with Flexible Connectivity
The Eurotronic Comet transforms standard radiators into smart, energy-efficient heating systems. Available in two versions:
- Z-Wave Plus £70.00 - Perfect for Z-Wave smart home systems operating at 868.42 MHz
- Zigbee £58.00 - Ideal for Zigbee networks, supporting the Zigbee Home Automation Profile 3.0
Both models offer dual functionality, operating either as a thermostat with built-in temperature sensing or as a standalone actuator. They report real-time data like room temperature and valve position directly to your smart home controller.
Shared Features and Benefits
Regardless of which connectivity option you choose, both Comet thermostats offer:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency | Save up to 30% on heating costs through intelligent temperature control |
| Easy Installation | Simple mounting process with included adapters for most radiator valves |
| Manual Override | Adjust temperature directly on the device using sensor buttons |
| Customizable Schedules | Program daily and weekly heating patterns to match your lifestyle |
| Smart Protection | Window open detection, frost protection, and limescale prevention |
| Configuration Retention | Settings remain intact even when changing batteries |
Installation and Setup
Both versions follow a similar installation process:
- Insert the included batteries (non-rechargeable)
- Pair with your smart home controller (Z-Wave hub or Zigbee gateway)
- Wait for the mounting position animation to complete
- Remove your existing thermostatic head
- Attach the appropriate adapter if needed
- Mount the Comet thermostat by turning the union nut clockwise
Once installed, the device immediately begins providing intelligent climate control while reporting data back to your smart home system.
Which Version Should You Choose?
Your selection should be based on your existing smart home ecosystem:
- Choose Z-Wave Plus if you're using controllers from brands like Fibaro, Homey or Hubitat
- Choose Zigbee if you're using Philips Hue, Amazon Echo Plus, or SmartThings
Both versions offer the same core functionality and energy-saving benefits, differing only in their wireless communication protocol.
Upgrade your heating system with the Eurotronic Comet Thermostat and enjoy precise temperature control, energy savings, and seamless integration with your preferred smart home technology.
