Today we test on Funkyhome.de the Homematic HM-CC-RT-DN wireless radiator thermostat as kit. Radiator thermostats certainly belong to the most important elements of a smart home. For many it is certainly one of the reasons to begin a Smarthome, because the advantages of an intelligent heating control are obvious: One can temporally determine, when which radiator in the house is adjusted to the desired temperatures. This increases living comfort and saves money on heating. With the kit one can save money again in contrast to the assembled product and in combination with the recently tested Homematic CCU2 the comfortable heating control is perfect. The following test shows how easy it is to assemble the kit and whether even a Smarthome conversion in the rented apartment would make sense. Furthermore we published two tutorials for the Homematic Thermostat today.

Delivery of the Homematic thermostat controller …
As already mentioned in the Homematic CCU2 Kit Review, kits are not delivered in a fancy high gloss carton, but in neutral cartons without much bells and whistles.
The Homematic radiator thermostat was supplied as a kit in this white cardboard box.
After opening the box, look at the building instructions and the operating instructions.
This is all contained in the small box.
On the following picture you can see the complete scope of delivery. Included are some parts that have to be put together and screwed together first, a few adapters for different heating valves and even some grease eQ3 has thought of, but the manual gives no indication if you should grease the valve bolt or the gearwheels. There are also no batteries included, so you should order 2x 1.5 Volt Mignon batteries for each thermostat.
Now we come to the technical details of the Homematic radiator thermostat.
