HOW TO UPDATE TO SMART IMMERSION HEATER - Tesla T-Smart Review

Today we talk about how to update to a smart, mobile phone controlled, cloud based Tesla T-Smart immersion heater!

This smart hot water heater immersion from Tesla can be retrofitted or installed a fresh on vented and unvented hot water tanks. It will allow you to control the hot water temperature, thermostat, on and off times and safety all from your phone or the front of the immersion interface. It also has frost protection and legionella protection.

In today's video I'll describe the benefits of this remarkable product and show you how to install a smart hot water immersion thermostat.

Just installed one of these at my place, they’re amazing! This should be the minimum standard from any immersion heater. 👍🏻

I never even knew this existed. This will go brilliantly in my smart house. Love your video and enthusiasm for the product.

I am amazed out what can be made smart these days. I even have an outdoor smart Tap!

As this is your newest post I would like to thank you, my toilet had developed a leak but as it was a built in cysteine I was unsure how to get to the problem. After watching your how to install a cysteine I new how to solve the problem, so many thanks old chap keep up the good work. Gary

Looks like a fantastic product. Big plus one can retrofit to an existing element meaning the job can take minutes instead of potential hours trying to remove an element that has welded itself in having been in for years

Watch your video, very impressed, so brought one. Short version, just the thermostat, and head. Easy to fit and set up. Working very well as a back up for the boiler. Excellent.

Was just thinking about the possible legionella issue if it's under 60, then you mentioned the anti legonella cycle haha Tesla have definitly thought about this product. Great vid as always James.

My boiler has a second boost heater, would you just leave this unwired?

I really want to get this but i’m trying to learn as much as possible before i get my electrican up so I know what to tell him before he comes

Very interesting product. I'm currently considering switching over to Octopus Electric agile tariff, where price per kWh varies every 30 minutes. A facility to integrate a smart immersion into such a scheme would be amazing. Set rules such as heat to 55c when cost < 10p, heat to 65C or above when cost is < 5p etc. Was already wondering how to implement such a scheme...

Great bit of kit, use an eye crimp on the earth also

I'm a plumbing and heating engineer 44 years now 😂👌
Wow what an amazing idea.
Just installed a direct unit up in a loft. Definitely will be recommending this product to try.
One question. How much 🤔👌😂
First time on this channel. Nice happy chappy 😂

Brill that, a very interesting product I, m aware of it so nice to see it displayed safely.

[chrismann]

Just looking to fitting this beauty. i see that you can buy the thermostat and head only, so the question i have is are there different lengths of thermostat for a top fed immersion or are they all standard size?

[ashleyendicott]

How would this work on a duel immersion heater would two be needed or would it only be needed for bottom or top immersion only. In your vid I noticed there's just one immersion

[EddieGittins]

I bought one. easy to install. love it. thanks for your video. “hold tight”

[MikeBrincat]

Just to clarify, where someone would usually turn on their immersion from a switch on the wall next to the tank, they now have this permanently on and control the immersion from the app/front panel of the immersion?

[MuffinMoles]

Have had nothing but issues with this product. Have fitted 5, had issues with all 5.

Four tripped the thermostatic overheat cut out. Needing to be reset constantly. The fifth just wouldn’t send power to the heating element.

May just get me being unlucky as anything. May be condition of install? Have asked Tesla for advice and haven’t got much feedback. They sent out one replacement stat but that tripped the thermostatic cut out.

Currently in the hole for two smart thermostats. Swapped out the others for wifi fuse spurs.

It’s disappointing as it looks like a great product. The app seems great. Being able to see the water temp is amazing.

Just can’t keep getting called back to jobs. Hopfully it is just me.

Suggest you meter between L&N in the case the CPC (Earth) is disconnected.

[tomfielder]

Impressive. Like others, I need for vertical not horizontal. Can’t wait. Love the app remote access...👍

[Thejones]

Like the look of these. Think I’ll be getting some of these in to my shop to sell 👍🏼

[Raven_Y_T]

I have a double IMMERSION HEATER water tank . Can you use two off these and replace both the old type ?
