Zigbee thermostatic valve
A Zigbee thermostatic valve such as Sonoff, Moes or Aqara may be of interest if you already have a Zigbee home automation installation with Jeedom or Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT.
Or if you use the Tuya Smart Life ecosystem.
Basically because you unify your home automation installation with a single interface and also, thanks to the mesh network that is automatically formed in Zigbee, Zigbee devices that are far away from your home automation hub communicate with the help of other Zigbee devices.
Z-Wave thermostatic valve
Z-Wave is a home automation technology similar to Zigbee in many technical aspects, so it can also be interesting to adopt Z-Wave thermostatic heads if you already have a home automation installation with this technology to unify your smart home.
Proprietary thermostatic valve
A thermostatic valve such as Netatmo or Tado uses a proprietary technology, i.e. unlike Zigbee or Z-Wave, you cannot unify your entire installation with other wireless devices.
These solutions are recommended for users who only want to manage their heating from their phone, as these heads communicate with the thermostats of the same brands and these thermostats are connected via WIFI in your home.
Even so, there is the possibility of integrating these solutions into your home automation installation with Jeedom or Home Assistant thanks to their APIs.
It all depends on your needs
In this comparison you have popular thermostatic valves on the market and each has its advantages and disadvantages so there is no one best option for everyone but it will depend on the needs of each user.
