Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)

[mfgs]

I have two elderly customers who are no longer able use the Drayton rt212 trv’s they have on their radiators due to arthritis. Are there any lever operated valves anyone is aware of?
I have suggested something along the lines of Honeywell Evohome, but they are worried they may not be able to use the technology. So looking for other alternatives.

Apart from other “smart” trv’s a quick search brought me this, albeit a bit unsightly Myson Impaired Dexterity Easy Turn Replacement Head ONLY with Easy Grip Handle for TRV 2 Way Thermostatic Radiator Valve: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Myson-Impaired-Dexterity-Replacement-Thermostatic/dp/B00NQ98ECI

Do they need to adjust them often?

This is the Research Institute for Disabled consumers page on heating controls. Looks like @Aquarius recommendation is the only option if they don't want to use smart controllers.

All disabled stuff is unsightly, necessary trade-off. I actually think that impaired dexterity TRV looks quite neat and clever.
