Children’s hands on radiator thermostats often lead to incorrect settings and wasted energy. But there is no need to sweat (or freeze) as a result: | Specify in the app or using the operating button on the device that manual settings on the device itself are no longer possible. | This way, kids cannot adjust anything on the smart thermostats, and you can still control the room temperature conveniently via app, voice assistant or room thermostat.
