Key differences between Sonoff TRV Gen2 Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve and Sonoff Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve

A summary of selected recorded differences between these radiator valves. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices
  • Bluetooth (connectivity): Sonoff TRV Gen2 Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve — Yes (The official spec sheet lists connectivity as Zigbee 3.0 / BLE. Bluetooth is used to pair the valve with the eWeLink app when the device is already joined to a third-party Zigbee platform, and the app home screen carries a BLE icon that switches the radio.); Sonoff Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve — No.
Specifications to check side by side
  • Battery Type (power): Sonoff TRV Gen2 Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve — 2x AA; Sonoff Zigbee Thermostatic Radiator Valve — 3x AA.
Information still to confirm
  • 3 of 27 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
  • Check the full table and manufacturer documentation before ruling out a device.

These observations are derived from recorded catalog data and have not all been independently verified. Confirm details with the manufacturer before purchasing.
