Vokera Thermostats & Boiler Controls

Vokèra boilers are a dependable choice for UK central-heating systems, and modern controls help them run more efficiently day to day. Whether you’re using a newer Pinnacle, Synergy, Vibe MAX, or Easi-Heat i boiler, or an earlier model, the right thermostat makes a noticeable difference to comfort and energy use.

Controls such as the 7-day programmable thermostat, RF dial thermostat, BeSMART Wi-Fi control, and outdoor weather compensation sensor allow your boiler to respond more accurately to room temperature demand, manage hot water effectively, and keep radiators heating smoothly across the home.

Here at Boilers2go, this updated 2026 Vokèra controls guide explains the available thermostat options first, then covers installation basics, smart-control comparisons, compatibility, and simple programming tips.

Because once your thermostat is set correctly, your central-heating system runs more efficiently without you thinking about it.

Why Vokèra heating controls matter

Modern Vokèra boilers — including models like Pinnacle, Synergy, Vibe MAX, and Easi-Heat i — support OpenTherm communication, allowing compatible thermostats to adjust boiler output depending on heating demand across the home.

Instead of switching fully on and off, the boiler can run steadily at lower output levels. That usually means:

• more stable room temperatures

• smoother radiator heating

• improved hot-water scheduling

• fewer boiler start-stop cycles

• better overall efficiency

OpenTherm controls can improve heating efficiency by around 5%, while smart controls and weather compensation can help reduce gas use further.

Wireless thermostats also make upgrading controls simple, especially when replacing older room stats.

Vokèra thermostat and control options explained

Vokèra’s control range is designed to work across both newer boilers like Pinnacle and Synergy and earlier Vokèra models.

Vokèra 7-day programmable room thermostat

The 7-day programmable thermostat allows detailed heating schedules with multiple temperature changes throughout the day.

Available in wired or wireless versions, it helps maintain steady room temperatures across the home. This type of thermostat works well with combi boilers such as the Easi-Heat i or Vibe MAX, where central-heating timing and temperature control make the biggest difference.

Vokèra RF dial thermostat

The RF dial thermostat is a simple wireless thermostat designed for straightforward room-temperature control.

It’s ideal for households that prefer simple heating adjustment without programming schedules and works well across many Vokèra combi boilers, including compact installations like the Synergy range.

Vokèra BeSMART Wi-Fi heating control

The BeSMART smart heating system allows homeowners to control central heating and hot water remotely using a smartphone app.

It supports multiple heating zones, comfort profiles, and weather-responsive heating adjustments to improve efficiency and comfort. This makes it a popular upgrade for newer Vokèra boilers such as Pinnacle or Vibe MAX, where modulation and scheduling features can be fully utilised.

Vokèra outdoor weather compensation sensor

The outdoor weather compensation sensor helps the boiler automatically adjust flow temperature based on outside conditions.

Instead of radiators running at the same temperature all the time, the system reduces flow temperature when the weather is milder. This improves efficiency and works particularly well when paired with BeSMART or programmable thermostats on boilers like Pinnacle or Easi-Heat i.

Installing Vokèra wireless thermostats

Installing Vokèra wireless thermostats is usually straightforward across most models.

After isolating power, the receiver connects to the boiler control terminals or plug-in connection depending on the boiler model. The thermostat should be mounted centrally in the home, around 1.5 metres above floor level, where it can measure room temperature accurately.

Once powered on, pairing is usually automatic, and heating schedules can be programmed through the thermostat display or app.

Vokèra smart controls vs Nest and Hive (2026)

Nest and Hive remain popular smart thermostats across UK homes, particularly in systems with multiple heating zones.

However, the Vokèra BeSMART system integrates directly with OpenTherm-compatible Vokèra boilers, allowing the central-heating system to respond more smoothly to temperature demand.

That often results in steadier radiator temperatures and improved efficiency compared to relay-based thermostats.

Nest and Hive still work well in many homes, but BeSMART is designed specifically around Vokèra heating systems.

Best Vokèra controls for energy savings in 2026

For most homes, combining programmable heating control with weather compensation delivers the biggest improvement in efficiency.

The BeSMART Wi-Fi control paired with an outdoor sensor is one of the strongest energy-saving setups for modern Vokèra boilers such as Pinnacle, Synergy, or Vibe MAX.

Even upgrading from a basic thermostat to a programmable one can noticeably improve heating comfort.

Programming tips for Vokèra central-heating controls

Simple thermostat settings can improve comfort and efficiency across the home.

For most UK households:

• Living areas work well around 20°C

• Bedrooms often feel comfortable slightly cooler

• Heating schedules should match occupancy

• Holiday mode prevents wasted heating

• Weather compensation improves winter efficiency

Once programmed correctly, the thermostat manages the boiler, radiators, and hot-water system automatically.

Quick Vokèra controls guide

If you want flexible heating scheduling, the 7-day programmable thermostat is a strong choice.
If you want simple wireless temperature control, the RF dial thermostat works well.
If you want smart-heating control and zoning, the BeSMART Wi-Fi system is ideal.
If you want automatic efficiency improvements, the outdoor weather sensor is worth adding.

Choosing the right control helps your central-heating system run more efficiently and comfortably, whether you’re using a Pinnacle, Synergy, Vibe MAX, or Easi-Heat i boiler.
