Hi!

So I have an rm4 pro, google/Alexa.

I need to get a space heater for my bedroom and it needs to be relatively quiet. Any recommendations?

Don’t try and automate a space heater. Convenience isn’t worth accidentally burning your house down.

Space heater is not a common device type so I doubt you'll get any answers regarding how quiet something is.

Looking around Amazon, Govee is the only company making smart space heaters. So just give them a shot and return it if you don't like it considering they're your only option.

Just got a delonghi radiator from Amazon. It’s silent and I use an ikea smart plug (rated up to 1500W!!!) to turn it off at certain times. Works great.
