Royal Thermo, the #1 radiator manufacturer in Russia*, has won the most prestigious design award — the Red Dot Design Award — for the second time in five years. The company presented its latest development in intelligent home climate control to the discerning international jury — the Smart Heat 2.0 smart thermostatic head, which easily integrates into a smart home system.
Now, tell me that’s not beautiful!
Hundreds of thousands of brands and manufacturers dream about this.
Only dozens manage to receive it.
And just a select few are honored with this award twice.
Smart Home Temperature Control: The Royal Thermo Thermostatic Head
The key solution underlying the entire concept is the monolithic design: the mounting nut, which traditionally disrupts the visual integrity of the device, is integrated into the body. The smart thermostatic head becomes a perfect extension of Royal Thermo designer radiators. These radiators have long been perceived not just as heating equipment, but as stylish interior design elements.
The Royal Thermo R&D team paid special attention to the proportions and dimensions of the device. Engineers managed to noticeably reduce the body size, making the thermostatic head one of the most compact in the world without sacrificing functionality. This is especially important for modern interiors, where every centimeter of space matters.
The multifunctional built-in display is hidden inside the body and projects information directly onto its surface. The Smart Heat 2.0 smart thermostatic head is available in three signature colors — white, silver, and black. A popular chrome version is also available for most standard interiors.
What Makes the Smart Heat 2.0 Thermostatic Head Unique
The Smart Heat 2.0 smart thermostatic head can function as a high-precision electronic thermostat or be integrated into the Hommyn smart home ecosystem. Users have access to autonomous and intelligent modes with a system of scenarios adapted to their lifestyle.
The device can be controlled through the Hommyn app or via popular voice assistants. The thermostatic head connects to the hub via the Zigbee protocol, allowing it to operate throughout the entire heating season on two AA batteries without replacement.
The Smart Heat 2.0 smart thermostatic head is the result of refusing to compromise. We removed everything unnecessary — both structurally and visually — and left only the essence. When creating Smart Heat 2.0, we aimed not just to improve a product, but to set a new standard in design and engineering. Today, Royal Thermo holds more than half of the electronic thermostat market in Russia, serving as a trendsetter not only in this category but across the entire radiator market.
This latest victory in this award places Royal Thermo alongside key players in global industrial design, such as Philippe Starck and Antonio Lupi, and confirms that the direction we have chosen is strategically sound. These are exactly the kinds of solutions that shape the market, — noted Andrey Ashikhmin, Commercial Director of Royal Thermo.
