Nobo (spelled Nobø in Norwegian) is a Norwegian electric heating brand, a brand of Glen Dimplex Nordic AS, that makes panel heaters, underfloor heating and thermostats. Heaters are grouped into zones with weekly schedules and controlled through the Nobo Hub and the Nobo Energy Control app, or through a Zigbee 3.0 smart home hub.
Nobo has two routes. The older Nobo Hub system uses an 868 MHz radio network between the hub and the heater receivers, with the Nobo Energy Control app for zones and weekly programs. Newer SPC and SWT thermostats can instead speak standard Zigbee 3.0 and join a compatible hub such as Futurehome, Homey or Datek Eva.
The Nobo Hub route suits people who want local control inside Home Assistant or openHAB, since both have integrations that talk to the hub over the local network. It is weaker for voice assistants and Matter, which we could not confirm for either route, and the two routes do not mix: a hub system and a Zigbee system are managed in different apps.

The app for the Nobo Hub (ECOHUB). It groups heaters and thermostats into zones, sets weekly programs with Comfort, Eco, Away and Off modes, offers one-touch overrides, supports several users, and works remotely. The iPhone listing is published by Glen Dimplex Europe Holdings Limited and needs a Nobo Hub plus a receiver for each heater. The Android listing is published as Glen Dimplex Mobile Apps and its details were read from a third-party listing page.
Nobo's FAQ names the Futurehome app for the Nobo Connect hub (SHB-IZ) and the SPC, SWT and SWS devices. Nobo says Futurehome needs an active paid subscription. We did not open an app store listing, so no store links are given.
Dimplex Energy
Nobo's FAQ names this as the app for a second hub system. We could not confirm its store listings or which regions it covers.

Connection
Proprietary 868 MHz radio
Yes
Nobo's FAQ says the Nobo Hub uses 868 MHz radio, not Wi-Fi, so a Wi-Fi extender does not help range. Nobo says the hub keeps following its schedule when the internet is down, and the app can control the system remotely.
Nobo SPC and SWT thermostats use standard Zigbee 3.0 with the HVAC cluster library from firmware 3.18 onward. Nobo says any compatible Zigbee 3.0 hub should work in theory, but real-world results depend on the hub or app provider. Existing units can be updated with Nobo's ConfigR app.
Nobo says the SPC and SWT cannot use Wi-Fi directly and must go through a hub or gateway. The Hub's own connection to the router is not described on the pages we read, and the app listing only says a wireless network is needed. We found no mention of Bluetooth, Z-Wave or Thread.
No HomeKit support or Homebridge plugin found when we searched.

Nobo says it continues its partnership with Futurehome and recommends it for easy integration and automated energy control. The FAQ ties Futurehome to the Nobo Connect hub (SHB-IZ) and the SPC, SWT and SWS devices, and says it requires a paid subscription.
Home Assistant has a built-in Nobo Ecohub integration, maintained by contributors rather than the vendor, and its page says it is not officially supported or endorsed by Glen Dimplex Nordic. It is local push, with a persistent TCP connection to the hub and no cloud. It exposes each zone as a climate entity with Comfort, Eco and Away presets, and the Nobo Switch SW4 as a temperature sensor. Zones, devices and week profiles must be set up in the Nobo app. We could not confirm Home Assistant support for the Zigbee thermostats.
Nobo lists Athom Homey among the platforms verified with its Zigbee SPC and SWT thermostats, and says it built its own integration app. Separately, a community app by an independent developer, EcoHub Control, covers the Nobo Hub over the local network. Its store page lists Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and says a Homey Bridge is required, while the developer's forum thread mentions only Homey Pro. We could not resolve which applies, or find Nobo's own app listing.
The NoboHub binding is in openHAB's official add-on list and uses Nobo's published Hub API v1.1. It supports the Hub, zones and components, tested with panel heater thermostats, floor heating thermostats and the Nobo Switch SW 4. The binding is not maintained by the vendor.
A Nobo page says panel heaters and underfloor heating cables will eventually be open for integration with Home Assistant, Hubitat and Abra. The page is undated, and we found no Hubitat driver.
Glen Dimplex Nordic publishes a Nobo Hub API v1.1 document for advanced users, a local TCP/IP interface that the openHAB binding and the pynobo library implement. We did not open the PDF itself, and the pynobo project says it is not endorsed by Glen Dimplex Nordic.
