SASWELL OpenTherm thermostat series for Boiler Plus compliance

WHB Series Boiler Thermostats

From basic on/off to OpenTherm, with Matter, Zigbee, Wi‑Fi, RF, wired or wireless, and S/Y‑Plan compatibility.
Product Lineup

Boiler thermostats are the core intelligent components of gas‑fired heating systems. They regulate boiler on/off and combustion status by precisely monitoring indoor temperature — replacing traditional coarse temperature control methods. WHB Series Boiler Thermostats cover the full spectrum: from basic mechanical and electronic digital on/off control, to wire‑free RF models, Wi‑Fi smart connected units with remote access, and OpenTherm‑enabled thermostats that support modulating control. A diverse product range that serves as the ideal starting point for building a differentiated smart heating portfolio.

Pro Tip from SASWELL HVAC Engineers

For Retailers: Wi‑Fi is the top choice for mass‑market consumers due to its "Plug‑and‑Play" nature.

For Integrators: Zigbee 3.0 is the industry standard. Its Local Automation ensures heating remains functional even during internet outages.

For Innovation Leaders: Matter represents the future, offering users ultimate freedom without proprietary app limitations.

On/Off or OpenTherm? Choose Your Control Logic
On/Off and OpenTherm represent two fundamentally different control logics. The choice between them impacts energy efficiency, boiler lifespan, and regulatory compliance.
Standard On/Off:Simple logic, similar to a light switch. The boiler runs at full power until the set point is reached, then shuts down. This leads to water temperature fluctuations and higher fuel consumption. Best suited for projects where compatibility with all dry‑contact boilers is the primary requirement.
OpenTherm (OT):A sophisticated "two‑way conversation" between the thermostat and the boiler. It commands the boiler to adjust its flame size (Modulation) in real‑time. As the room reaches target temperature, the flame lowers, keeping the boiler in its most efficient condensing zone. Extends boiler lifespan, improves gas efficiency by 5%‑15%, and meets Boiler Plus requirements.
