Radbot 1 Intelligent Thermostatic Radiator Valve SCV100-000 - Self-Learning TRV No App Required

At the heart of Radbot 1 is an on-board artificial intelligence algorithm that continuously monitors room conditions and builds a picture of when each room is occupied and when it is empty. Over the first few days of use it learns your household's patterns, then uses that intelligence to pre-heat rooms before you arrive and set back the temperature when you leave — entirely automatically, without any input from you.

Unlike most smart TRVs, Radbot 1 requires no smartphone app, no Wi-Fi connection, no hub, and no programmed schedule. Simply install it, set the comfort dial to your preferred temperature, and the device does everything else. This makes it equally suitable for households that want smart heating without any of the complexity — and continues working perfectly even if your internet goes down.

The five-position rotary dial sets the target comfort temperature on a scale of 1 to 5, with position 3 corresponding to 19 °C. Each full step changes the setpoint by 2 °C; each click within a step changes it by 1 °C. The dial also accesses frost protection (❄ = 6 °C) and maximum heat (position 5 = 24 °C). As the dial is turned towards cooler settings, the maximum energy-saving temperature setback is increased — giving you direct control over how aggressively the algorithm saves energy.

Press the Boost button to immediately drive the valve to maximum open for 30 minutes, overriding the AI's current setback if the room is empty or cool. At the end of the boost period, Radbot 1 automatically reverts to the previously set temperature — no need to remember to turn it down. If you press Boost by accident, briefly turning the dial down and back cancels it.

With the dial set to the snowflake (❄) position, Radbot 1 enters frost protection mode and maintains a minimum temperature of 6 °C — enough to protect the property and pipework from freezing. Additionally, the device automatically detects high humidity levels and temporarily raises the temperature setpoint to reduce the risk of condensation and damp — useful in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Radiator valve pins can seize if left in one position for extended periods — particularly common in summer when heating is not in use. Radbot 1 automatically performs a weekly decalcification cycle, fully opening the valve pin and returning it to its set position. This prevents stuck pins without any manual intervention, reducing the likelihood of a seized valve causing a no-heat fault when the heating season begins.

Radbot 1 fits over an existing TRV body — no plumbing, no draining down, no tools, and no electrician required. Remove the old TRV head, select the correct adaptor from the five included, click Radbot 1 into place, hand-tighten the retaining ring, and insert the batteries. The whole process typically takes under five minutes per radiator. If your radiators currently have manual valves rather than TRV bodies, a plumber will need to fit TRV bodies first.

Compatible with combi boilers, system boilers, heat-only boilers, district heating, and air source heat pumps (flow temp >45 °C). The five included adaptors cover the most common UK and European radiator valve thread types: M30 × 1.5, M30 × 1.0, M28 × 1.5, Danfoss RA, and Danfoss RAVL. Not compatible with electric heating or electric radiators.
