Key differences between Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 and Eve Thermo
A summary of selected recorded differences between these radiator valves. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.
- External Temperature Sensors (features): Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 — Yes (It can take its reading from an Aqara temperature sensor such as the Climate Sensor W100 placed elsewhere in the room, so it regulates the room rather than the air next to the radiator. Requires Zigbee mode through the Aqara Home app.); Eve Thermo — No.
- Zigbee (connectivity): Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 — Zigbee Hub required (Zigbee mode is the one that unlocks the Aqara-only features (local schedules, external sensor linking, group control) and needs an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub.); Eve Thermo — No.
- Geofencing (features): Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 — Yes (Heating starts as you approach home, based on the temperature range you preset.); Eve Thermo — Hub required (Don't live life to a fixed schedule? Have Eve Thermo reduce the temperature when everyone’s left for the day. Then as soon as someone returns home, have Eve Thermo raise the temperature automatically | To control your heating based on location, you need a home hub (HomePod mini, HomePod or Apple TV).).

What the catalog tells us
Understand the tradeoffs.
These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Your priorities, side by side
Focus on what changes.
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.
