Smart Temperature Controller — Residential Case Study
Home Sense delivered a seamless upgrade from manual climate control to smart thermostats and A/C & boiler switches —
with scheduling, scenes, and mobile/voice control. All devices were professionally installed, programmed, and tested.

Smart thermostat(s), A/C & boiler switch, optional TRVs, app & voice integration
Objective
Upgrade comfort and control without major rewiring; enable reliable scheduling and remote access for A/C and heating.
Challenges
- Mixed systems (split A/C + boiler/radiators).
- Existing wall boxes and finishes to preserve.
- Stable control when the internet is down.
Solution
- Smart Thermostat (Wi-Fi/Zigbee) for primary zones.
- Smart A/C & Boiler Switch for on/off/ mode control.
- Optional TRVs for per-room radiator control.
- Zigbee hub for local scenes; app & Alexa voice.
Devices Installed
- Smart Thermostat — main living zone (model needs_verification)
- Smart A/C & Boiler Switch — equipment control
- Radiator TRV(s) — optional per room (if present)
- Zigbee/Wi-Fi Hub — local automation mesh
What the Client Gets
- Schedules & scenes (Home, Away, Night).
- Room-by-room comfort with optional TRVs.
- App control & alerts; Alexa voice support.
- Local fallback control if internet drops.
Outcome
Centralized climate control with simple wall interfaces and reliable automations.
Smoother temperature transitions, fewer manual adjustments, and clearer visibility into daily usage patterns.
Specific energy-saving figures depend on usage and property insulation (needs_verification).
Project FAQs
Is my split A/C compatible?
Most IR-controlled split units can be integrated; hard-wired control depends on the indoor unit terminals.
We verify model compatibility during the site survey.
We verify model compatibility during the site survey.
Do I need a hub?
For Zigbee thermostats/TRVs and stable whole-home scenes, a hub is recommended. It keeps many automations working even if the internet goes down.
Can I use Alexa?
Yes—on supported models you can set temperatures and run scenes using Alexa. We confirm voice capability during quoting.
What if I only have a boiler and radiators?
We can combine a smart thermostat for the boiler with TRVs for per-room control. Compatibility and wiring are checked on site.
