Introducing SMARTIoT Radiator Monitoring and Control
At Enviro-Logik, we provide innovative solutions to prevent energy waste in commercial and public sector buildings. Our SMARTIoT Radiator Monitoring and Control system ensures that energy is not wasted on heating unoccupied rooms.
The Challenge: Wasted Heating Energy
Wasted heating energy in commercial and public sector buildings is a significant issue. Our radiator controllers address this by harnessing the thermoelectric effect, which generates a small current from the temperature difference between the radiator valve and the ambient room temperature. This current trickle charges an internal cell, ensuring the system remains powered efficiently.
- Energy Harvesting: The radiator controllers can last up to 2 years without hot water, although they are typically heated each winter. This is sufficient to power the actuator and communications throughout the heating season.
- Summer Mode: To minimise energy use, we adjust the communication frequency during the summer months.
Long-lasting and Sustainable Design
Our integrated cells are advanced and not based on lithium-ion technology, offering a lifespan of 10 years before any degradation occurs. These cells are also plug-and-play replaceable, allowing the devices to be re-lifed to 20 or even 30 years, all achievable on-site.
- Smart Radiator Valves: Our smart radiator valves are powered by system-integrated sensors that eliminate the need for batteries. These valves are compatible with any radiator heating system and fit all valve types and sizes.
- Wireless Connectivity: The smart valves connect wirelessly to a central gateway, allowing seamless control and monitoring.
- Maintenance: During the summer, we perform a comprehensive “reference run” every 6 weeks. This process pushes the thermostatic valve pin all the way in and out, preventing calcification and ensuring smooth operation for the heating season, especially important in areas with hard water like London.

The EnviroLogik Electric Heater Controllers works with both new and existing electric heating. If you have older electric heaters with only manual time and/or temperature controls on them, and subsequently they are often left on when the room is empty, EnviroLogik have the solution for you.
We can lock out the local control on the heaters themselves and replace this with an easy to understand and an easy to read LoraWan RF room thermostat on a wall in the room.
Individual Heaters will have a special electric relay switch installed adjacent to the heaters fused spur. They can also be controlled via the management dashboard.
Our system is the master controller and overrides all other controls, be it the integral thermostat on the heater or anything after the fused spur.
So, our system can control any electrical type of unit by all of the following parameters all that can be set to whatever parameter you want;
Time program
Occupancy
Temperature
Co2
Light
So let’s take temperature
Our master control can be set at the required set point, so if we set the maximum temperature to 24deg when the area is below the set point power will be restored to the unit, when the area gets to the set point of 24 degrees it will turn the power supply off, no matter how high the integral heater thermostat is set at.
So if a person comes into their room and turns the heater thermostat to 30 degrees the unit will come on and run until it gets to our set point of 24 degrees then turn off until the temperature decreases below 24. We can also set a frost protection of a lower set point to turn the unit on.
The heater can also be controlled by occupancy in the room
Co2 level
If the light is on
If we want to set a working period say between 7am and 10am then 4pm to 10pm.
Any combination of control parameters can be set.
You may want to set a combination of parameters so the heater can only be enabled if
A/ it is in the set time program
B/ if it is within the set temperature range
C/ if there is occupancy
If all of the above are within the set parameters the heater will become enabled to be used.
All of the control of your existing heaters can now be managed from a computer or the smartphone app, with no requirement to change the heaters themselves
