It takes into account the interior environment, but also the exterior since it can adjust the temperature inside your home according to the temperature outside.
The smart radiator is also programmable according to your lifestyle and presence habits and allows heating to be increased or reduced according to certain time slots, thus optimizing energy savings.

If you don't want to invest in a connected radiator, you can transform your radiator by adding a connected thermostat.
