Lidl launches a smart fan heater that works via WiFi

If you're feeling the afternoon chill when you're working from home, then this new heater might come in handy.

The Smart Ceramic Fan Heater from Lidl connects to your WiFi, so you can switch it on and off from your smartphone.

With 3D air circulation, it promises an even room temperature, handy if you just want to heat your home office and save on central heating costs.

There are two heat settings on the heater and a timer function for added control. It comes with a remote control too.

Available in-store from Sunday (February 21), the heater is a smart investment at just £49.99 - it doubles up as a fan too, so it's useful all year round.

The ceramic radiator is part of the supermarket's Smart Home range, which includes a range of WiFi compatible devices.

It included Smart Light Bulbs, which can be dimmed and changed from warm to cool lighting, for £7.99.

Lidl also launched its Smart Colour Changing Lightbulbs for £9.99 which allows you to change the ambiance of a room in just a few touches.

The Smart USB extension lead is £19.99 and it allows you to control a number of devices that are plugged into it. Or, the Smart Plugs (£7.99) allow you to work with one at a time.

You can control the smart items with your voice, thanks to Google Assistant.

You will need a Zigbee-compatible gateway to use them, but Lidl has got you covered.

Referred to as the 'brain' behind the smart home system, the Silvercrest Smart Home Gateway is £19.99 and has a 70m open area range.

All of those items will be back in stores from Sunday, and you'll be able to grab them with your weekly shop.
