Radiator thermostat II - boiler controll

[vrzi]

I'd like to buy a Radiator Thermostat II and put it on all the radiators. But I also need to control the gas boiler.

Is it possible to use a relay (for example Bosch smart home relay) to automatically control the boiler?
To make it work like this: If the target temperature in any room is higher than the actual room temperature, the relay will switch on the boiler, if the target temperature is in all rooms, the relay will switch off the boiler.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The smart relay can control a boiler, but the radiator thermostats can't control the smart relay. That's only possible with a room thermostat.

A workaround with automations is also impractical since these have no read access to the current target temperature.

Don't get me wrong, what you wish for makes sense and you're not the first one to ask. The system unfortunately lacks this feature though.

Thanks for the information, I was hoping to replace the Honeywell EvoHome system. I would like to reduce the number of smart home systems in my home, but there isn't one that has all the features I need.

Do I understand correctly that it is also not possible to use the Smart Plug Compact?

Unfortunately no. The issue is that the radiator thermostats can't control anything but themselves. There are many ways to set the target temperature, but there are no features which would allow to perform any actions when the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature or when the radiator thermostats open the valves. This information is available to the controller, it just can't be used in any meaningful way.

Dear,

is it possible for the bosch smart home system to work without problems with these components:

house with ground floor and bedroom

8 radiators (4 on the ground floor and 4 on the first floor) as well as 2 heaters...

boiler bosch 5700iw

bosch ct200 upstairs

bosch smart controller 2

on all 8 radiators, 8 thermal heads, radiator thermostats, 2 connected to the smart controller, which is based on the ct200

I want to control each room with an app.Do you have any suggestions if I need to correct something in the system? Thanks

CT 200 is not compatible to Bosch Smart Home. And the Radiator Thermostat II is not compatible to CT 200. Also, CT 200 doesn't support door / window contacts.

This is an either - or decision, and not an easy one. You can't combine CT 200 and Bosch Smart Home in a meaningful way, and each system has its pros and cons.
