I've made a comparison between Vicare Smart Climate and the most known other zone controlled systems.
Safe to say it is not very competitive feature wise. Yet it probably is the most expensive from all systems listed.
Hopefully someone from Viessmann is finally listening!
About pricing: here in Belgium the official listed price for a single Vicare radiator valve is 96 euro (including taxes). Note that (at least here) it is only available via licensed Viessmann installers. So no direct purchase from (web)shops. Basically this means no possible promotions or price drops. And practically always no price transparency as installers usually do not quote this individually or detailed on a quotation.
All the other brands can be bought separately by the end users in several shops. To give an idea for pricing at this moment(for a single valve, including taxes):
- Tado: 74 euro
- Netatmo: 70 euro
- Bosch: 55 euro
- Honeywell: 70 euro
- Eve Thermo: 70 euro
Child lock has been added. Everything else still missing.
