Hive smart TRV heating system

Hi, could anyone advise


i am going to install Hive smart TRV’s in all my radiators apart from the ones in my 2 bathroom (these don’t have trv’s So I can’t install hive ones on them)


my question is if I did this and for example turn on the living room radiators during the day, will this mean the bathrooms ones will stay on aswell? As they don’t have trv’s?

Correct. TBH that's usually a good thing, wet spaces need more heat and will help keep them dry. Also it means the boiler has at least two radiators where it can dump heat if it needs to (and all other valves are closed). This is also a good thing.

Ya see, I thought that.I had a new boiler installed a couple of months ago and was installing Tado TRVs at the time.The plumber said that having the bathroom rad open wasn't required any more with modern boilers.

I have these. I purchased 10 but left out some other rooms, Unfortunately this slows the heating down for each room when boosting. they work better when all rads have them installed.
