Salus IT500 Smart Thermostat

So many people opt for the more “well known” smart thermostats brands like Hive, Tado, Honeywell and Nest etc. These are great choices.

Netatmo NTH01-AMZ Smart Thermostat

The Netatmo NTH01-AMZ [NTH01-EN-EC] is one of the few worthy contenders to the top smart thermostats from Honeywell, Google Nest, tado°, Drayton and Hive that dominate the marketplace. However, the Netatmo does have some uniqueness when compared to the others. Netatmo, it seems, is one of the only companies that avoids trying to charge users a monthly membership fee for “additional” capabilities. Purchase the kit, install it, and you’re done.       The system offers that much needed combination of simplicity and the capacity to build intricate combinations when…

Danfoss Randall 4033 Electromagnetic Timer

The Danfoss Randall 4033 is an electromagnetic analogue timer that can both control heating and hot water separately. It’s a very old model that provides basic settings when compared to what the current day programmers offer. Reliability overall is very good, but the main thing that fails on this model, is the timer dial motor either stops working altogether, or slows down to a pace that makes it annoying, potentially noisy, and unreliable to use. But other than that, for the most part the 4033, particularly the older model in…
