Smart Adaptive Technology is Rointe’s latest leap forward in intelligent heating — a patented, inverter-based system that adjusts power in real time to deliver faster comfort, lower energy consumption, and more stable temperatures. This unique technology, unlike anything else on the market, reduces energy waste during temperature stabilisation by up to 80% compared to traditional systems. Whether you're an installer looking for reliable, high-performance solutions or a homeowner aiming to reduce your energy bills, Smart Adaptive Technology represents the future of electric heating — efficient, precise and user-friendly.
What Is Smart Adaptive Technology?
Smart Adaptive Technology is a groundbreaking heating innovation developed by Rointe to meet the demands of modern living. It combines inverter technology with artificial intelligence to intelligently manage the energy output of heating devices based on real-time room conditions and user preferences.
Traditional heating systems, particularly those using PID (Proportional–Integral–Derivative) controllers, typically operate at full power until they reach the desired temperature. Once that point is reached, they use micro-cuts to reduce consumption — but still operate with a high average power rate.
In contrast, Rointe’s Smart Adaptive Technology reduces power gradually, only using what’s needed to maintain comfort. The result? A smarter, more energy-efficient system that continuously adapts to your environment.

How It Works Behind the Scenes
At the heart of Smart Adaptive Technology is an advanced inverter system that allows the radiator or heater to operate across multiple power ratings — not just “on” or “off.” Here's what makes it so innovative:
● Fast Start-Up: It delivers full power only when needed to reach the set temperature quickly — up to 25% faster than traditional systems.
● Progressive Power Reduction: Once the target temperature is reached, the system intelligently reduces its power, cutting stabilisation consumption by up to 80%.
● Artificial Intelligence: Rointe’s AI systems learn from usage patterns, optimising how and when the device uses energy.
● Out-of-Sync Random Coefficient: This feature staggers energy usage across multiple devices in a property, preventing energy peaks and reducing strain on the electrical system.
The result is a smooth, stable temperature output that’s not only more comfortable but also significantly more efficient.
Key Benefits for Users and Installers
Whether you’re specifying heating solutions for a new build or retrofitting a home, the advantages of Smart Adaptive Technology are clear:
● Faster Comfort: Rooms heat up more quickly, reaching the desired temperature up to 25% faster than traditional PID-based systems.
● Greater Stability: Temperature remains consistent, with up to 35% more stable heat distribution — no more hot-cold cycles.
● Reduced Consumption: Energy usage is up to 10% more efficient overall, thanks to lower stabilisation requirements.
● Installer Friendly: Smart Adaptive devices are easy to install and maintain, with fewer energy peaks and lower electrical load per unit.
● Compliance and Safety: Many products featuring this technology are LST-compliant, with intelligent control over both air and surface temperature.
This is not just about heating smarter — it's about delivering better outcomes for both professionals and end users.
How It Pairs with the Rointe NEXA App
While Smart Adaptive Technology operates intelligently within each product, its true potential is unlocked when paired with the Rointe NEXA app — a powerful yet intuitive tool available for iOS and Android. Acting as a central control hub for all Rointe connected devices, the app gives users complete visibility and control over their heating system, anytime and from anywhere.
Features include:
● Real-Time Monitoring: Users can track energy consumption by device or by room in real time, allowing them to understand usage patterns and make informed decisions about their heating habits. This transparency is essential for reducing waste and improving energy efficiency over time.
● Smart Scheduling: The NEXA app enables users to programme daily and weekly schedules that fit their lifestyle. But it doesn’t stop there — its built-in AI studies user behaviour and suggests adjustments to further optimise comfort and reduce unnecessary consumption. This means less manual input and better long-term performance.
● Geolocation Automation: Thanks to GPS integration, the system knows when the user is arriving home or leaving. Heating can be automatically adjusted based on their proximity, ensuring comfort when needed and energy savings when away. It’s perfect for busy routines and eliminates the need to remember to turn devices on or off.
● Remote Power Control: Users can reduce the power output of a device remotely — by up to 30% — with a simple tap. This is especially useful in situations where full heat output is not needed, such as milder days or empty rooms. By lowering the power remotely, users can cut down energy bills instantly without compromising on background warmth or comfort.
● Energy Saving Modes: The app includes several intelligent modes designed to increase efficiency:
○ Night Mode gradually lowers temperatures during sleep hours to save energy without disturbing comfort.
○ Away Mode maintains minimal heat when the house is unoccupied, preventing freezing or excessive consumption.
○ Open Window Detection identifies sudden temperature drops and pauses heating to avoid waste, automatically resuming when the window is closed.
Together, Smart Adaptive Technology and Rointe NEXA create a seamless, intelligent heating system that adapts in real-time to both the user’s preferences and external conditions. The result is a more comfortable, more sustainable and easier-to-manage home — all controlled from the palm of your hand.
Sustainability and Smarter Living
Energy efficiency is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. As climate change accelerates and the energy crisis continues to impact costs and infrastructure, both governments and consumers are demanding smarter, more responsible ways to heat homes and buildings. Smart Adaptive Technology plays a vital role in this transition by significantly reducing electricity consumption across all connected devices.
Instead of relying on outdated ON/OFF systems or inefficient thermostatic responses, Smart Adaptive Tech continuously analyses room conditions and adjusts output in real time. This eliminates energy spikes, smooths out consumption, and ensures that no watt is wasted. The result is up to 80% less power used during temperature stabilisation, and an overall system that consumes 10% less energy while maintaining 35% more stable temperatures.
This isn’t just good for the environment — it’s critical for meeting evolving UK building regulations. The government has set a legally binding target to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, and heating accounts for more than one-third of total UK energy use. To help reach this goal, Part L of the Building Regulations has been updated to demand improved energy performance in new and existing dwellings. Heat sources must be more efficient, controllable, and capable of integrating with low-carbon technologies — exactly the direction Smart Adaptive products are built for.
What’s more, Rointe’s Smart Adaptive systems support the Future Homes Standard, which aims to ensure that new homes built from 2025 onwards produce at least 75–80% less carbon emissions than those under current regulations. Our products already meet — and exceed — these expectations.
For housing developers, architects, and electrical contractors, specifying Rointe Smart Adaptive products means future-proofing their projects. It means aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). And most importantly, it means giving clients a solution that’s as smart for the planet as it is for the home.
Every watt saved contributes to a greener future — without sacrificing comfort, performance, or control.
The Bigger Picture: Part of Rointe’s Next-Gen Ecosystem
Smart Adaptive Technology is not a stand-alone innovation — it’s part of a broader next-generation heating ecosystem launched by Rointe in 2025.
