Floor Thermostats

How Does a Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat Work?

A smart WiFi floor thermostat allows you to control electric underfloor heating remotely, create heating schedules and monitor energy consumption. Unlike a conventional thermostat that requires manual adjustments, a smart thermostat can automatically regulate temperatures according to your daily routine.

The Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat combines intelligent temperature control with Scandinavian design, helping you maintain comfortable floors while reducing unnecessary electricity consumption.

Smart Temperature Control for Electric Underfloor Heating

The Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat is designed for electric heating cables and heating foil, with a maximum load of 16A / 3600W.

Using the Mill app, you can adjust temperatures remotely and create personalised weekly heating schedules. For example, you can lower the temperature while you’re at work and automatically increase it before you return home.

This allows you to maintain everyday comfort without heating rooms unnecessarily.

Air and Floor Sensors – What’s the Difference?

The Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat includes both an air temperature sensor and a floor temperature sensor, giving you greater control over indoor comfort.

Air temperature sensor: Measures the temperature of the surrounding room, allowing the thermostat to regulate heating based on the desired indoor temperature.

Floor temperature sensor: Measures the floor temperature, helping maintain comfortable floor heating and supporting temperature limits that protect compatible flooring materials from excessive heat.

The thermostat also features a maximum temperature limit, frost protection and child lock for additional control and safety.

Can a Smart Floor Thermostat Reduce Electricity Consumption?

A smart floor thermostat does not make electric underfloor heating inherently more energy efficient. Instead, potential savings come from more precise temperature management and automated heating schedules.

With the Mill app, you can reduce heating during periods when rooms are not in use and adjust temperatures remotely.

The integrated power meter also allows you to monitor electricity consumption directly in the Mill app, making it easier to understand your heating habits and identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary energy use.

Actual savings depend on insulation, floor construction, heating schedules, outdoor temperatures and individual usage.

Smart Home Integration with WiFi, Zigbee and Matter

The Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat supports WiFi connectivity, Zigbee 3.0 and Matter compatibility, allowing it to become part of a connected smart home.

Through the Mill app, you can manage your underfloor heating alongside compatible Mill WiFi heaters, smart plugs and heat pumps.

The thermostat is also compatible with Homey, providing additional options for smart home automation.

Which Mill Floor Thermostat Should You Choose?

All three Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostat models offer the same core smart heating features. The main differences are colour and compatibility with selected wall frame systems.

  • Matt White: Includes a frame and is compatible with SG Install.

  • Polar White: Includes a frame and is compatible with ELKO RS16.

  • Matt Black: Includes a frame and is compatible with ELKO RS SO.

Choose the version that best matches your existing electrical installation and interior design.

Installation: Mill Smart WiFi Floor Thermostats must be installed by a registered electrical installation company. Always verify compatibility with your existing heating system, electrical installation and floor sensor before installation.
