Code: 0020260941Product detailed description
Vaillant VR 92f - wireless remote control for sensoCOMFORT 720f, with room thermostat and hygrometer
The Vaillant VR 92f is a wireless remote control designed as a supplementary or replacement control unit for the sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller. Like its related model VR 91f (intended for multiMATIC 700f), the VR 92f also combines the function of a room thermostat, hygrometer and backlit display, but it is specifically adapted and pairable with the sensoCOMFORT range - the flagship in Vaillant's portfolio of weather-compensated controllers with a more advanced colour graphic interface and expanded setting options compared to the older multiMATIC range.
Thanks to wireless radio communication with the sensoCOMFORT 720f controller, there is no need to run cable connections between the control panel in the living room and the controller itself near the boiler, which significantly simplifies installation, especially during renovations or in buildings where the reference room is not near the boiler room. The VR 92f is used either as the main control element of a sensoCOMFORT 720f wireless installation from the outset, or as a replacement part in case of damage or loss of the original remote control.
Main technical features
- Wireless (radio) remote control designed specifically for the sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller.
- Integrated room thermostat measuring and displaying the current and desired temperature in the reference room.
- Integrated hygrometer measuring the relative air humidity at the installation location.
- Backlit display for convenient reading of data and control even in reduced lighting.
- Battery power supply, allowing flexible placement without the need for an electrical connection at the installation site.
- Compatibility with the sensoCOMFORT ecosystem, including extended functionality compared to the older multiMATIC range (e.g. more advanced display of system information).
How the remote control works with the sensoCOMFORT 720f controller
The sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller is a weather-compensated controller with a weekly time program and colour graphic display, communicating with the boiler via the eBUS bus. The VR 92f serves as a wireless remote control panel for this controller placed directly in the reference room - it measures the current room temperature and humidity there and wirelessly sends this data to the main controller, which uses it together with the weather compensation curve to precisely control the boiler output. The user can change the desired temperature directly on the VR 92f display, view and adjust the weekly time program, or switch operating modes, with all changes immediately transmitted to the main controller via wireless signal.
The sensoCOMFORT range is positioned in the Vaillant portfolio as a more advanced alternative to the multiMATIC range, with an extended colour graphic interface on the main controller and a wider range of displayed operating information (for example, more detailed consumption statistics or a clearer graphic representation of the current system status). The VR 92f remote control respects this philosophy also at the level of the remote control panel in the reference room.
Compatibility and related components
The VR 92f is designed specifically for the sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller. For the wired version of the controller (sensoCOMFORT 720 without "f"), a different, wired remote control VR 92 (without "f") is intended, which is not interchangeable with the wireless version. For the multiMATIC 700f controller, the wireless control unit VR 91f is analogously intended. For larger wireless installations or in buildings with significant radio signal attenuation (thick concrete walls, multiple floors), the range can be extended using the VR 52 signal booster (a separate product in our range).
Installation
Installation of the VR 92f consists of pairing it with the main sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller according to the procedure described in the installation manual - this process includes activating the pairing mode on both devices and confirming a successful connection. After successful pairing, the device is placed at the selected location in the reference room so that it best represents the average temperature of the living space, avoiding direct sunlight, proximity to heat sources, or drafts from doors and windows.
The batteries need to be replaced when their depletion is indicated on the display - this replacement is simple and does not require professional intervention in the boiler's electrical wiring.
Typical use scenarios
The VR 92f is particularly suitable for family houses and apartments with a sensoCOMFORT 720f controller, where the reference room is far from the boiler room, or where running a cable connection would be structurally complicated (for example, during a renovation). It is also a practical solution when replacing a damaged or lost original control panel of an existing sensoCOMFORT installation, since wireless pairing with the existing controller is easier than additionally running new cables.
Why choose the VR 92f
The main advantage of the VR 92f is the combination of the convenience of wireless installation with the full functionality of a room thermostat, including humidity measurement and a backlit display, adapted to the more advanced sensoCOMFORT range. The user thus gains a complete overview and control of heating directly from the living space without having to go to the boiler, while wireless communication eliminates the need for additional cabling during installation as well as in the event of a future relocation of the control panel.
Maintenance
The VR 92f does not require special maintenance apart from occasionally replacing the batteries when depleted. We recommend keeping the display clean with a dry cloth and avoiding placement in environments with excessive humidity or direct contact with water.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the VR 92f also compatible with the wired version of sensoCOMFORT 720?
No, the VR 92f is the wireless version intended exclusively for the sensoCOMFORT 720f controller. A different, wired remote control VR 92 is intended for the wired version of sensoCOMFORT 720 (without "f").
What is the difference between VR 91f and VR 92f?
The VR 91f is intended for the multiMATIC 700f system controller, while the VR 92f is intended for the more advanced sensoCOMFORT 720f controller. Functionally, both models are very similar (room thermostat, hygrometer, backlit display), differing mainly in compatibility with the specific range of the main controller.
Can the wireless signal range be extended?
Yes, in larger or structurally more demanding buildings, the signal range between the VR 92f and the main controller can be extended using the VR 52 radio signal booster.
Can the VR 92f be combined with the myVAILLANT app?
Yes, when the system is supplemented with an internet gateway (e.g. sensoNET VR 920), heating can also be controlled remotely via the myVAILLANT app, while the VR 92f continues to serve as the local control panel directly in the household.
Is professional installation necessary?
The pairing itself and basic setup are relatively simple, but we recommend entrusting the initial commissioning of the entire sensoCOMFORT 720f system, including setting the weather compensation curve, to a qualified technician.
The sensoCOMFORT range as Vaillant's control flagship
Within the Vaillant portfolio of weather-compensated controllers, the sensoCOMFORT range represents the top, most comprehensive line with a colour graphic display on the main controller and extended options for displaying the system's operating data (for example, clearer consumption statistics, a graphic representation of the current energy flow between individual system components, or more advanced multi-zone heating settings when extended with the appropriate modules). When choosing between the multiMATIC and sensoCOMFORT ranges, customers often decide based on the desired level of control comfort and the extent of displayed information - sensoCOMFORT offers a richer user interface at a higher purchase price compared to the standard multiMATIC range.
The VR 92f remote control carries this philosophy into the reference room as well, where the user gets an equally good overview of heating as with the main controller, but without having to physically move to the boiler.
Wireless vs. wired control - which to choose
| Criterion | Wireless (VR 92f) | Wired (VR 92) |
|---|---|---|
| Installation complexity | Low, no need for cable routing | Higher, requires cable connection |
| Suitability for renovation | High - no need to chase wiring channels | Low, unless wiring is already prepared |
| Control panel power supply | Battery | From the controller/bus |
| Signal reliability over longer distances | Depends on obstacles, can be resolved with the VR 52 booster | Independent of radio range |
Placement in the reference room - practical recommendations
The accuracy of temperature measurement, and thus the overall quality of heating control, largely depends on the correct placement of the VR 92f remote control in the reference room. We recommend choosing a centrally located living room (most often the living room), where household members typically spend the most time, and avoiding placement near exterior doors, windows, radiators, fireplaces, TVs or other heat sources, which could locally distort the measured temperature compared to the actual room average. The recommended wall mounting height is approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres above the floor, i.e. at normal seated level, where the temperature is representative of the residents' thermal comfort.
As with the sister model VR 91f, when choosing between wall mounting and free-standing placement on a table or shelf, you should also consider the practicality of daily control - wall mounting is more stable, while free-standing placement allows easier repositioning as needed, for example during a seasonal rearrangement of the interior.
Operating modes and their use
The VR 92f, in conjunction with the sensoCOMFORT 720f controller, offers several operating modes - comfort mode maintains the set temperature according to the time program, setback (economy) mode reduces the temperature, for example during absence or at night, and frost protection mode protects the building from freezing during longer absences with minimal energy consumption. Thanks to the more advanced graphic interface of the sensoCOMFORT range, switching between modes and viewing the current system status on the VR 92f display is clearer than with the older multiMATIC range, which will be appreciated especially by users with higher demands for visual clarity of control.
Why choose the sensoCOMFORT range instead of multiMATIC
Customers deciding between the multiMATIC and sensoCOMFORT ranges should primarily consider their requirements for the extent of displayed information and overall control comfort. The sensoCOMFORT range with a colour graphic display and the VR 92f remote control is a suitable choice for users who appreciate a more detailed overview of system operation, a more modern visual interface and a wider range of adjustable parameters, while the multiMATIC range with the VR 91f control represents a somewhat simpler, yet still fully-featured alternative at a lower purchase price.
Additional frequently asked questions
How long do the batteries in the VR 92f last?
The exact lifespan depends on the intensity of use and the frequency of radio communication with the controller, and is usually a period of several months up to around one year of normal operation. The device gives timely notice of the need to replace the batteries on the display.
Is it possible to switch from multiMATIC to sensoCOMFORT later without replacing the entire system?
Switching between ranges requires replacing the main system controller, since the VR 92f is compatible exclusively with sensoCOMFORT 720f and cannot be paired with a multiMATIC controller. We recommend consulting our technical team when considering such an upgrade.
Ordering and recommended procedure
When planning the installation of the sensoCOMFORT 720f system, we recommend including the main controller, the VR 92f remote control, and, in the case of a larger or structurally more demanding building, also the VR 52 signal booster, if the reference room is further from the boiler room or there are several structural obstacles between them. If remote control via the internet is additionally needed, we also recommend considering adding the sensoNET internet gateway, so that the set is prepared from the start for full use of the myVAILLANT app's capabilities, and the service technician can complete the entire installation, including network connection, in a single visit without the need to additionally order missing components.
Summary
The Vaillant VR 92f is a wireless remote control with a room thermostat and hygrometer, designed as a convenient control element for the sensoCOMFORT 720f system controller. Thanks to wireless communication, a backlit display and humidity measurement, it provides the user with a complete overview and control of heating directly from the reference room, without the need for complex cabling during installation. It is a suitable solution both for new installations of the flagship sensoCOMFORT range and for replacing a damaged control panel of an existing system.
