Aqara’s Radiator Thermostat W600 is designed to make room-by-room heating smarter, quieter, and easier to automate—without locking you into a single ecosystem. Announced at IFA 2025, it brings a dual-protocol approach that supports native Matter over Thread for broad compatibility, while Zigbee unlocks deeper automations in the Aqara Home app. That means you can build a powerful heating setup that keeps running locally even if your internet goes down.
Key features that stand out
– Flexible scheduling: Set up to seven heating periods per day and switch between five preset modes, with quick scheduling to fine-tune comfort and efficiency.
– Local automations: When paired via Zigbee in the Aqara Home app, routines execute locally to keep your heating responsive without an active connection.
– Precise temperature control: Adjust in 0.5°C increments, calibrate for accuracy, and pair with external Aqara sensors like the Climate Sensor W100 or FP300 to measure the room temperature where it matters most.
– Smart energy savings: Geofencing can warm rooms as you approach home, and open-window detection pauses heating when a connected door or window sensor detects a sudden temperature drop.
– Whole-home coordination: Group multiple W600 thermostats for synchronized, multi-room control.
– Quiet operation: Works below 30 dB to keep noise to a minimum.
Built-in safeguards and long battery life
– Frost protection automatically kicks in when the room dips below 5°C.
– Powered by two AA batteries with a rated lifespan of up to two years, making it renter-friendly and easy to maintain.
Hardware and compatibility upgrades
– Flippable LED display for flexible installation and easier viewing.
– Broader valve compatibility than the previous generation for easier fitment on more radiators.
– Dual-protocol design: Matter integration via Thread requires no proprietary hub, while Zigbee mode provides advanced automation options in the Aqara Home app.
– Works with major Matter-enabled platforms including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Home Assistant, and SmartThings.
Availability
The Radiator Thermostat W600 is available through the brand’s official store, authorized retail partners, and leading e-commerce retailers. It’s also listed on Amazon across multiple European markets at launch, including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.
Why it’s a smart upgrade
If you’re aiming for more efficient, room-specific heating with minimal hassle, the W600 combines precision control, robust local automations, and wide platform support. The combination of Matter over Thread and Zigbee ensures both future-ready interoperability and advanced smart-home routines, making it a compelling choice for modern radiator systems.
