If you’ve ever lived in a building with manually controlled central heating, you’ll probably understand [Martin]’s motivation for this hack. These heating systems often have old fashioned valves to control the radiator. No Nest support, no thermostat, just a knob you turn.

You go from flipping switches on walls to commanding virtual assistants with your voice or poking at a phone with your finger. And while you eventually do pick up the new habits, it can be a struggle instructing guests on how to control the lighting, heating and cooling, fans, blinds, etc. in your home.

As soon as I walked in the door, I went to the basement and filled the heating system with water, raising it to the 15-18 PPI, as recommended by my heating contractor. I felt rather manly as I turned the nozzle and watched the gauge rise ever so slowly to the proper level. Looking around, I found a bucket to place under the radiators to catch the drips that might come out after the air was bled out of them. I grabbed my trusty radiator key that I proudly carry on my key chain, partly so I wouldn’t lose it and mostly so that people might notice it and think I was the kind of guy who knew his way around a radiator, in case that was important to them.
