Do smart radiator valves need a hub?
Reviewer consensus
Most do. Zigbee models like the Danfoss Ally typically need a Zigbee hub or gateway, and Bluetooth models like the Shelly Blu TRV ship with or require a dedicated gateway to enable remote and automation control. Tuya-based valves generally require a Tuya Zigbee hub. Always confirm the connectivity type and required bridge before buying, since a valve without its matching hub only works manually.
