Netatmo has unveiled a fresh generation of smart thermostats after a 14‑year wait, introducing the Thermostat Original and Radiator Thermostat Original with Matter support via a dedicated hub.
The new line promises faster installation, wide compatibility, and a streamlined app experience.
The Thermostat Original comes in both wired wall‑mounted and wireless versions, giving homeowners flexibility in placement. Netatmo claims installation takes less than 30 minutes, and compatibility covers gas and oil boilers, air‑to‑water heat pumps, and wood or pellet stoves.
Matter support through Thermo Hub
The standout feature is support for the Matter smart home standard, but integration requires the included Thermo Hub. This hub acts as a gateway, linking Netatmo’s proprietary wireless system to platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and SmartThings. While some rivals integrate Matter directly, Netatmo’s approach ensures broader compatibility without sacrificing stability.
Netatmo is retiring its long‑standing Energy app. Control now shifts to the Home + Control app, already used across Legrand’s ecosystem. The app offers Eco‑Assist with geolocation, custom heating schedules, and system alerts.
This consolidation aims to give users a single interface for heating, lighting, shutters, and other smart devices, reducing app clutter and improving usability.
Pricing and availability
The wall‑mounted version costs €140, while the wireless model is priced at €149.99. Netatmo has yet to confirm pricing for the Radiator Thermostat Original, which is expected to launch in early 2026.
Should you upgrade?
Netatmo’s new thermostats arrive at a time when Matter adoption is accelerating. The inclusion of a hub may feel like an extra step, but it ensures seamless integration across ecosystems.
For households already invested in Legrand’s smart home products, the switch to Home + Control makes sense. The pricing sits competitively against rivals such as Tado and Honeywell, making Netatmo’s offering appealing for those seeking a balance of design, compatibility, and smart features.
