Why I Chose Heatit Thermostats
Before diving into the device handler, I wanted to share why I opted for Heatit thermostats. Their Z-Wave Plus technology, combined with features like floor and room temperature sensing, made them the perfect fit for my radiant floor heating system.

I’ve been using this device handler for a few weeks now, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. The thermostat responds quickly to commands, and the energy monitoring feature has been invaluable in optimizing my home’s heating efficiency.
One feature I particularly appreciate is the ability to adjust display and button brightness. It might seem minor, but it significantly enhances usability, especially in different lighting conditions.
