Imagine a radiator that can be controlled from the cloud, without a local gateway, without Wi-Fi, with a five-year battery life — and a very long radio range. This is made possible by the NodOn TRV-8-1-00 LoRaWAN thermostatic radiator valve.
The problem: connecting heating in buildings that are difficult to cover
Most wireless protocols — Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and even Zigbee in some configurations — have their limits as soon as the building is large, the walls are thick, or the installation is spread over several levels or distinct buildings (NodOn also offers the Zigbee-MQTT Bridge for large-scale Zigbee deployments). Multiplying repeaters, managing multiple local gateways, maintaining a mesh network: the infrastructure becomes a project in itself.
The NodOn TRV-8-1-00 adopts a different approach: LoRaWAN®, the long-range, low-power protocol for professional IoT networks. A single gateway covers an entire building — the thermostatic head communicates directly with the public or private LoRaWAN infrastructure, without repeaters.
The TRV-8-1-00: long-range IoT thermostat
Same compact format as the Zigbee TRV, same universal M30×1.5 mm thread, same installation without major work — but LoRaWAN® EU868 connectivity that completely changes the equation for large-scale installations or buildings that are difficult to wire.

📡
Very long range
LoRaWAN® EU868 — penetrates thick walls, crosses several floors, covers entire buildings without repeaters
|
🔋
~5 years battery life
2 standard AA batteries — LoRaWAN's low power consumption allows for an exceptional lifespan, no recharging or wiring needed
|
|
☁️
Native cloud control
Direct connection to public (The Things Network, Helium…) or private LoRaWAN servers — no local gateway to install or maintain
|
🪟
Open window detection
The head automatically detects a rapid temperature drop and closes the valve — heating resumes as soon as the window is closed
|
Installation: same simplicity, tenfold range
The mechanical installation is identical to any M30×1.5 mm thermostatic head. Connection to the LoRaWAN network is automatic upon power-up — the device is delivered pre-provisioned.
|
Public LoRaWAN network
The Things Network, Helium…
If the area is covered by a public LoRaWAN network, the head connects automatically on startup. Data is sent to your application server via the existing network — no infrastructure to deploy.
|
Private LoRaWAN network
Dedicated Gateway
For uncovered buildings or private deployments, a LoRaWAN gateway (indoor or outdoor) covers dozens to hundreds of devices. A single gateway is sufficient for an entire building.

3-step configuration
|
1
|
Mechanical mounting
Remove the existing thermostatic head. Screw the TRV-8-1-00 onto the M30×1.5 mm valve body (or via adapter). Insert the 2 AA batteries — the head starts, performs automatic calibration, and enters LoRaWAN provisioning mode.

|
Connection to the LoRaWAN network
The device is delivered pre-provisioned with its OTAA keys. It automatically connects to the available LoRaWAN network (public or private) without any action on your part. AppEUI/DevEUI/AppKey credentials are provided for registration on your network server (TTN, ChirpStack…).

|
Integration into your management platform
Data (ambient temperature, setpoint, valve status) is transmitted via your LoRaWAN network server to your building management platform (BMS, GTB, or dedicated cloud tool). Send temperature setpoints remotely via LoRaWAN downlink.
|
Use cases that change everything
| 🏨 Room-by-room heating management in a hotel or residence — without complex local network infrastructure | 🏗️ Rapid deployment in old buildings with thick walls where other protocols do not reliably pass through |
| 🏢 Centralized heating supervision of multiple remote sites from a single cloud platform | 🌡️ Automatic frost protection and open window detection in infrequently occupied residences or premises |
The product
The TRV-8-1-00 installs without any work on your existing thermostatic valve and communicates via LoRaWAN® with your IoT infrastructure, without a local gateway to deploy.
