Drayton Wiser FAQs
Which Drayton Wiser hub do I need for a combi boiler?
The 1 Channel HubR (CCTFR6311G2D). A combi heats water on demand, so you only need one heating channel, and the hub connects by relay or OpenTherm. Thermostat Kit 1 bundles it with a room thermostat, and Multi-Zone Kit 1 adds two radiator thermostats as well.
What is the difference between the 2 channel and 3 channel Wiser hub?
The 2 Channel HubR controls one heating zone plus hot water, for conventional and system boilers with a cylinder, and connects by relay or OpenTherm. The 3 Channel HubR controls two separate heating zones plus hot water, such as upstairs and downstairs on an S-plan system with three 2 port zone valves, and connects by relay.
Can I add more Wiser devices later?
Yes. Wiser is a buildable system, so you can start with a kit and add radiator thermostats, sensors and smart home devices whenever you like. Each 2nd Gen HubR supports up to 16 rooms and 63 Wiser devices.
Does Drayton Wiser need a subscription?
No. Every Wiser feature, including the app, schedules, smart modes and heat reports, is included with no subscription fee.
Does Wiser work with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home?
Wiser works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT. The 2nd Generation hub is also a Matter bridge, which connects Wiser to Matter ecosystems such as Apple Home through a Matter controller.
Does Drayton Wiser work with heat pumps?
Yes. Wiser HubRs can interface with heat pumps using on/off control, and room thermostats, sensors and radiator thermostats work as normal. Check your heat pump manufacturer's guidance on external controls before installing.
Can Wiser control underfloor heating?
Yes. For wet underfloor heating, use the Wiser 6-Zone UFH Controller with 230V thermal actuators on the manifold and a room thermostat or sensor per zone. For electric underfloor heating, use the Wiser Electrical Heat Switch with the remote floor sensor.
What is the Wiser Non-relay Smart Home Hub for?
It is a Wiser hub with no relays, so it doesn't switch a boiler. It suits shared heat sources, homes that keep their existing boiler controls, electric heating through heat switches, and smart home devices such as sensors, plugs and micro modules.
Do I need an installer to fit Wiser?
The HubR is a 230V mains-wired control that connects to your boiler, so it should be fitted by a competent installer or electrician. The Power Micro Module also needs fixed wiring to BS 7671. Battery devices such as radiator thermostats, sensors and room thermostats are simple to fit yourself.
