Top WiFi Enabled Space Heater Options (2019)

Last Updated on June 14th, 2019

Everything is going smart these days.

Phones, ceiling fans, alarms, cameras wifi enable space heaters, you name it, it probably has a smart version.

In fact, the forecast of the global smart home market is projected to nearly double from 24.1 billion in 2016 to 46.8 billion in 2021, that’s how fast the industry is growing.

With the advent of devices such as Alexa, Google assistant amongst others, everything in your house is going to become even more connected.

It is inevitable and resistance is probably futile.

So the future is coming, what about the now?

Well, if you are not aware, there are many full smart home systems available if you are looking for that whole home solution.

For something a little less expensive and a little more personal for heating your room, though limited, there are options available.

Space heaters are really in their infancy when it comes to WiFi connected devices.

Not many brands have adopted this yet, and the ones that have seem to have lacked the polish to make the experience great.

The Dyson Link Purifier is about as good as it gets, but this comes with a hefty price tag which may not be attractive for all buyers.

With that said let’s look at what’s available.

WiFi Enabled Space Heater – What are the best options?

When it comes to WiFi or smart heaters there are a number of options available.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Xiaomi Smartmi Electric Heater 

The Xiaomi Smartmi is probably one of the most stylish smart heaters available.
This 220V smart heater also comes with a 3-year warranty which is fantastic for a space heater. Many others come with a 1-year warranty so it’s great the company backs the performance of the products with 3 years.
The heater has a touch screen for its controls and also offers 3 screen brightness settings.

Why is that important?

If you want to use the heater in your bedroom when you are sleeping, light pollution can be an issue with many space heaters.
Giving you the option to lower the brightness removes that problem.

The heater is also splash proof and is apparently able to be used in the bathroom.
Personally, I wouldn’t put any electric devices in the bathroom near water, but if you are looking for a smart heater for yours, this is an option worth considering.
For those interested, it has an IPX4 water rating. Here is an interesting article on what that means.

What about safety features?

Well, it has the standard safety features you should expect from any space heater, with an overheat protection trigger, and a tip-over switch, which will turn the heater off if it is tilted more the 45 degrees.

Is the app good?

The short answer is it has the highest ratings of any of the wifi heaters listed here.
It uses the Mi Home Smart App which has a 4.0/5 rating in the play store.
Given that the functionality of the Wifi/app is high on the list of important features when purchasing a wifi heater, this makes the Xiaomi smart heater a top consideration.

Couple that with the features, design, and great feedback from purchasers, this is a wifi heater that is a must to consider.

Heat Storm Phoenix

The Heat Strom Phoenix is a versatile heater in that it can be mounted to your wall or it can be used as a space heater with the supplied leg attachments.

Purchasers comment of the nice design

and it is nice that some companies are starting to think about aesthetics when it comes to heating devices.

Crane Smart Tower Heater

When it comes to WiFi enabled tower heaters, there are very few to choose from in the present day.

No doubt in the very near future there will become more options available.

For now, the Crane Smart Tower heater is one of few options.

The heater is controlled via  Crane’s own proprietary app.

It is a ceramic heater with upscale modern design and has 3 settings – fan, 750W and 1500W for your various heater needs.

Other features included with the unit are a touch screen, child lock, and oscillation.

Unfortunately, the app seems to need a bit of work given its low ratings.

Crane Infrared smart HEATER – Grey

Another WiFi enabled heating option by Crane WiFi Heater.

This unit is an Infrared heating device and a completely different style to the tower fan made by Crane.

Featuring high and low settings, and adjustable thermostat, touch panel, and timer settings the infrared smart HEATER is also controlled by the same app as the tower fan above.

A word of advice though, make sure you read through the reviews for the tower fan and Infrared heater as the ratings are not overwhelmingly good.

More on that later.

Dyson Pure Cool Link Purifier

Dyson are well known for their quality products as well as their hefty price tag.

This particular unit is no different.

Although this is stated as a purifier it is also a heater and cooler in summer.

Quite the bang – but also quite the bucks.

To be fair it is packed with features and quality that you would expect for the price tag.

Panamalar 500W Electric Portable Heater

Slowly Wifi heaters are getting better and this is a testament to that.

Though it is only small in stature, it does have some more ‘current’ features such as being an Alexa enabled wifi heater, which many of the other wifi options are not.

This heater is not going to heat large rooms as it is about as big as an iron, but it is more for direct heating, such as on a tabletop where you might be residing.

The Panamalar is portable, so great for moving around with you.

It is a stylish looking little heater and would not be out of place in most home decor.

 Heat Storm HS-1500 Infrared

This Heat Storm Wifi Heater is an infrared heater made by heat storm who also have another infrared wall (or space) heater on our list.

This heater is a cubic design which is quite different to the other heater and is a great space saving design.

The wooden top could potentially double up as a small table.

It has 2 modes – 750W & 1500W giving you the option of how much power you would like to use, or how much heat you would like to put out.

Once the heater reaches your desired temperature it automatically shifts to ‘eco’ mode or the 750W setting to conserve power.

Ideally, this is built to supply supplementary heating to a space of 1000 sq ft or less.

A 1500w it is not large, and as a general rule of thumb, you will want around 10 watts of heating power for every square foot of floor area in the room.

The Heat Storm HS-1500 has optional wheels that you can get with it, but these will require a little bit of DIY.

If you have Google Home or Alexa you are in luck as this heater is compatible with both of those.

This means you can easily control the heater via voice commands.

In addition to that, you are able to create heating schedules with the Smart Life app which gives you the potential to save energy along with the added benefit of only heating your home when you need to.

As far as safety goes you can rest easy knowing that this heater is ETL & NOM certified, which means it has undergone and passed independent safety tests.

One thing to keep in mind is that it will only to connect to Wifi on 2.4G, while most routers nowadays are 5g, so there might be some playing around with router settings needed.

This is a common issue with many wifi heaters and a number of purchasers have complained about connectivity issues, perhaps due to this issue and is not just unique to this wifi heater.

This heater comes with a fantastic 3 year warranty.

KUPPET 28.5″ Electric Fireplace

If you are looking for something with a bit more pizazz than your average space heater you could always look at an electric fireplace.

How handy is being able to turn your fireplace on and off with a voice command!

The remote is kind of small so you will want to keep good track of it.

If that isn’t enough you can always control the functions of the fireplace with your mobile phone.

What functions does it have?

Well, it has 2 heat settings, much like your standard space heaters of 750w/1500w along with your standard along with a dimmer to change the brightness of the heater.

Turn any space heater into a WiFi enabled device with the Wemo Insight Smart Plug

Well kind of.

Although it is quite a nifty device it is limited in what you can do.

What you will be able to do is hook up any space heater or appliance and be able to schedule and control when the unit turns on and off.

This is great for turning your heater on before you come home or off if you have forgotten to turn your heater off.

Just plug and play and you are away laughing.

Unfortunately, what you won’t be able to do is control any of the features on your space heater from afar.

So temperature control, no speed control.

Just on and off.

If you don’t need that extra control then this might be a great device for you, however, if you need more flexibility and total control over your space heater, then it may not be the device for you.

As it turns out…

..there actually happens to be a whole lot of choice when it comes to the smart plug option.

If you are searching for smart plugs to use for your space heater, there are many brands to choose from.

As well as checking reviews of the product itself we suggest checking the rating of the app in the app store as well.

Being a WiFi device means that there can be as many problems with the software as there might be with the hardware.

Both being equally as important.

There are a number of the apps that control the units, that are really just not up to scratch so make sure you do your research.
