Drayton by Schneider Electric Multi-Zone Smart Thermostat and 2 Smart Radiator Thermostat Kit — Combination Boilers Only review
Room-by-room control on a combi boiler without paying whole-house-system money.
By Tom Calder
The best zoning value on this page by a distance: £179.99 buys a room thermostat plus two smart radiator valves, and Drayton's own figures put the system at one central-heating channel across up to 16 rooms and 63 Wiser devices in total. Its specification lists relay and OpenTherm connections, so it can modulate on boilers that offer it. The hard limit is the 1-channel HubR — this is Kit 1, combi boilers only, with no hot water control at all.

- Two Smart Radiator Thermostats included, so room-by-room control starts at £179.99
- Scales to 16 rooms and 63 Wiser devices on Drayton's own figures
- Relay and OpenTherm connections, so it modulates on boilers that support it
- Combi boilers only — system and heat-only boilers, and S-plan or Y-plan setups, need the different Kit 2
- No hot water control whatsoever: the 1-channel HubR runs heating only
- The HubR wires in at the boiler or wiring centre, which is mains work — only the radiator valves are genuinely DIY
Who shouldn't buy this
you have a hot water cylinder to control — buy Wiser Kit 2 or the Honeywell T6R-HW instead.
