Hello Aqara team :wave:

I really enjoy the Aqara ecosystem for lighting and sensors, but there is one major missing piece for European homes:

:point_right: A smart module to control electric heaters using a pilot wire (fil pilote).

What would be great to have:
• Native support for pilot wire modes: Comfort / Eco / Frost Protection / Off
• HomeKit integration
• Scheduling and automation
• Control based on presence, temperature, and time
• Energy-saving logic at room or home level

This would allow:
• Smart control of electric radiators without changing existing heaters
• Replacing traditional pilot-wire programmers
• Centralized heating control directly in HomeKit, without third-party hubs

Electric heating with pilot wire is extremely common in France and many other European countries, and a native Aqara solution would be a huge improvement for real-life smart home setups.

Thank you for considering this for future products
