GSM boiler control via the Internet: description, principle of operation, overview of boilers and GSM modules

What are the capabilities of remote heating control systems?

The capabilities of devices for remote control of heating every year (but what is there with the year - almost monthly!) Are becoming more and more perfect. Developers of smartphone applications try to make them user-friendly and easy to understand, even for untrained people. Briefly, we list only the main features of such systems that support:

normal operation, when the set temperature is maintained throughout the house;
zone mode, when in different rooms there can be an individual temperature;
prevention of defrosting of the heating system (freezing of pipes) during the cold season, when you are away from your country house or summer cottage;
the possibility of turning on the boiler in advance, for example, you need to warm up a country house when you are going to visit it on weekends or holidays;
always be aware of the operation of your autonomous heating and, if necessary, carry out its diagnostics;
time mode, in which at different times during the day in the house its own thermal mode can be maintained with a significant reduction in material costs for fuel, for example, you can adjust the boiler to low power (respectively, to low fuel consumption), going to work or on business, and turn on normal mode before returning.

Remote heating control implies that any of these modes, as well as specific room temperatures, are changed using a mobile connection, or heating is controlled via the Internet. This approach is part of the ideology of creating a “smart home”, which entails the further development of all engineering systems at home in order to ensure ease of use and the creation of the most comfortable living conditions.

Which heating system can be remotely controlled?

In country houses and cottages, two-pipe systems with forced circulation of the coolant are currently most often used: the circulation pump pumps the coolant throughout the heating system, which, thanks to the distributor comb, can be supplied to each heating device. In such systems, as a rule, a safety block of the heating system is used to protect it from destruction in unforeseen situations, for example, in the event of an increase in pressure above the permissible level. It is also necessary to have additional equipment to control the operation of the heating system: sensors, special valves and devices for adjusting the flow rate of the coolant, and it is also necessary to combine various devices into an information network.

Remote control of the boiler and the heating system using a telephone and via the Internet

Our company offers its customers and happy owners of autonomous heating a remote control system for boiler equipment and heating systems.

Many owners of country houses and summer cottages often ask questions:

how to control the operation of the heating system
boiler operation or
the air temperature in the house,
and also manage them during their absence.

After all, many come to the house or to the dacha, only on weekends, and the rest of the time the house is without maintenance and control.

offers for your convenience and economy to install a remote control module for your boiler and use a mobile application in your phone to control the heating.

each boiler has its own GSM module and here are some options:

Weather-compensated heating control

Today it is considered the most promising. In such systems, in addition to the room temperature sensor, an external air temperature meter is also used. In principle, a weather-dependent heating controller will work with one external sensor, but the use of two allows you to achieve more accurate maintenance of the mode and even realize self-adaptation of the system for specific temperature changes: if it gets colder outside, then the temperature of the coolant in the system rises in advance, if it is warmer - then decreases in advance. In addition to saving fuel, this reduces system inertia, which increases its efficiency and also provides additional cost savings. One of the basic points of weather-dependent heating control can use a temperature of plus twenty degrees - with it, the temperature of the coolant is taken to be equal to the ambient temperature, while the heating is actually turned off. It is also necessary to take into account the zonal temperature control, i.e. if, for example, a large number of people have gathered in one of the rooms, due to which it has become hotter, then the system detects a local increase in temperature relative to that set by the weather heating regulator and makes corrections in this zone. In general, serious battles have flared up on the Internet about - Is it worth using weather-dependent automation at all or is it money wasted? In short, the opinion of our specialists, confirmed, by the way, by the reviews of numerous clients, is unequivocal - yes, it is worth it, but not in all cases. And in which ones? Answer here …

Types of heating remote control systems

There are currently two systems in use for remote heating control:

using a set of equipment with an Internet gateway. In this case, the presence of a Wi-Fi router and an Internet network is required.
using a GSM heating control module. A special GSM module with a SIM card of a cellular operator is required.

REMOTE CONTROL OF GAS BOILER

A modern gas boiler is a complex unit, especially a double-circuit one with a closed combustion chamber. All models are integrated into the "smart home" system with remote control, provide for the connection of several dozen telemetry sensors:

gas pressure;
the temperature of the coolant at the inlet and outlet, in separate rooms and on the street;
flame (capable of fixing its breakthrough or separation);
analysis of the gas environment in the chimney.

The received information is transmitted to the executive devices.

The main ones are an ignition device, a gas pressure regulator both on the burner and in the main. With separate room temperature control, an additional radiator shut-off valve is required. This device, by adjusting the flow of hot water, will provide the programmed mode.

Intelligent control not only maintains the set temperature, but also correlates the intensity of combustion with the temperature outside the window. In combination with the high efficiency of gas boilers, a prompt response to warming significantly saves blue fuel. In case of a sharp cold snap, the system will raise the temperature of the coolant in advance.

The presence of a thermostat in the remote control system allows to achieve an additional reduction in gas consumption by reducing the number of burner starts. This is the most consumable mode, saving up to 5%, depending on the boiler model.

Remote control requires the gas boiler to have an automation with the possibility of its programming.

The manual describes in detail the procedure for installing the GSM module. Many models are offered with the module already installed. In the latter case, the manufacturer offers software that will link the entire system. User-friendly interface, on the smartphone screen, clear symbols in the form of pictograms and digital values, explanations in Russian.

When purchasing a module on your own, you must adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the gas equipment. The instructions must indicate the application with which you need to work. You can download it on Google Play or App Store. When controlling via SMS, no additional software is required.

The consumer - as a rule, the only competent person - has only to connect the module to the boiler controller, install the operator's SIM card with stable communication in the area of equipment installation, top up the account, enter the phone numbers to which the information will be transmitted. The first call with the verification code activates the control: the answer will be the boiler parameters.

A prerequisite is testing the system from a smartphone or phone next to the boiler. Checking all modes and programs, the speed and accuracy of the controller's response to remote commands. Remote testing will not be superfluous.

The correct operation of the remote control is ensured by the correct installation of sensors, thermostats.

They should not be hidden under curtains or decorative panels. If they are self-powered by batteries, remote control over their condition is mandatory.

When heating with gas, a leakage sensor is more than necessary. It is installed next to the boiler, controls the presence in the atmosphere of exactly the gas that is used for heating (methane or propane).

The multifunctional sensor will also signal if the concentration of carbon monoxide is exceeded. Simultaneously with the notification, the fuel supply is cut off.

Choosing a gas boiler with automation is not difficult. The main parameter is power, which depends on the heated area. Domestic or foreign models are reliable, durable, certified. Imported boilers have a wider functionality and, accordingly, have a high cost.

Remote control of the boiler room using a GSM mobile phone

But what if there is no wired Internet in a country house? How can the heating be controlled in this case?

It's very simple - with the help of a special GSM module and, of course, a mobile phone. In fact, the GSM module plays the role of your personal assistant - you called it, gave the command, for example, to heat it hotter by a certain time in advance - and the whole family will come to a warm and cozy home. Or, on the contrary, they forgot to turn down the boiler power when leaving for work in the morning - no question, you can do this directly from work, via the Internet or directly from your smartphone, while you are still getting to work. The GSM module is a compact device with its own SIM-card of any operator (it is important that it provides reliable signal reception in a given area), which allows you to control the indoor climate from any phone (satellite, mobile or fixed line), tablet or PC.

The undisputed leader in the GSM thermostat market is currently the Russian company MicroLine. The company manufactures a wide range of GSM modules for remote control of heating boilers, including multifunctional controllers that provide control of the most complex heating systems. You can buy in the appropriate section on our website GSM heating control

Complete list of boilers compatible with ZONT thermostats

Depending on the settings made, your phone will receive either short SMS notifications with various information and instructions on changing the settings of the heating boiler, or you will receive phone calls with various information about the operation of the heating system. A special mobile application is installed on the phone (there are versions for Android, and for iOs, and for Windows Phone), which allows you to directly remotely control almost all the parameters of the heating boiler. The GSM heating control module is essentially a computer docked with external sensors and has the ability to change the operating modes of the heating system.Naturally, the module must be in the area of reliable reception of mobile operators.

GSM module for heating boiler GSM-Climate ZONT H-1 - a very interesting solution of the Micro Line company, which specially manufactured this device for the Evan company, which produces heating boilers. Immediately, we note that Zont H-1 GSM is suitable not only for Evan boilers, but, in fact, for any heat generators that have appropriate terminals for connecting a room thermostat!

Attention!

GSM modules, depending on the tasks assigned to them, use mobile Internet traffic in their work (approximately 60-100 Mb per month), therefore very it is important to monitor the state of the balance, and it is best to use unlimited tariffs of cellular operators.
GSM modules in their work, as a rule, use cloud services, so you will always have the opportunity to control or change the parameters of the heating system via the Internet (that is, without sending control SMS or phone calls) using a tablet, personal computer or smartphone, by going to the website of the module manufacturer using your username and password.

GSM heating control module can operate in several modes:

automatic, when, according to signals from the installed sensors, the controller maintains the specified modes according to the specified program;
SMS heating control, when the heating system is controlled by sending SMS. In this case, when new data arrives, for example, about the room temperature, the controller accepts them for execution and begins to support them in automatic mode;
warning, by sending alarm messages about the current state of the house (gas leak, breakthrough of the water supply system, etc.);
remote control of other devices connected to the GSM module (watering, lighting, alarm, etc.).

GSM - heating control allows remotely:

receive reports on the room temperature;
receive notifications about the current state of heating equipment;
change the operating mode of the system by raising or lowering the temperature, including separately in each room.

Heating control is not limited to these functions. In principle, any heating system can be turned into a remote one. To do this, it must have an automatic mode of operation, and a special GSM controller must be connected to it for heating control and communication with the subscriber.

Is that not enough for you? Then look at the capabilities of multifunctional GSM controllers, for example: ZONT H-1000 , ZONT H-2000 or ZONT H-2000 + The devices are complex, require professional knowledge during installation and adjustment, therefore only highly qualified specialists are required for installation - contact our company, we have them! Their capabilities are certainly enough to control the most complex heating systems.

Functionality of the Zont C2000 + controller ● Based on the controller, you can create security, monitoring and automation systems for a variety of objects, buildings and structures. The variability of the communication channels used and the flexibility of settings provide "smart" control of any electrical equipment. ● Control and management through the Web service www.zont-online.ru and the Zont application for iOS and Android mobile devices; ● Control and monitoring of the state of sensors for various purposes and electrical devices connected to the inputs of the device; ● Control of ambient temperature through digital and analog temperature sensors; ● Formation of the Alarm signal and sending notifications when the state of the monitored sensors changes; ● Control of electrical appliances connected to the device outputs both by event (triggering of monitored sensors) and by time, schedule or direct command of the owner,temperature and programmable scenarios; ● Control of wireless sensors for various purposes using a built-in radio channel at a frequency of 433 MHz and a connected radio channel at a frequency of 868 MHz (only for radio channel equipment manufactured by Micro Line); ● Remote configuration of the monitoring and control algorithm without physical connection to the device (via the web interface); ● Graphical display of the dynamics of changes in the operating parameters of systems, electrical devices, the state of monitored inputs and controlled outputs.

Some of the features of the H-2000:

Control of 2 boilers in a cascade. Scheduled work: one boiler works during the day, another at night.
Boiler control and 11 heating pump circuits. The boiler turns on when heat is requested from any circuit.
3-way valves can be controlled (maximum number of 3-way valves: H 1000 - 3 pieces, H 2000 - 6 pieces)
The presence of 6 inputs, each of which can be connected to various sensors: security, fire, leaks, water pressure sensors and gas pressure switches, as well as any sensors that open / close a contact.
Remote control of heating and air conditioning, remote alarm reset, etc.

What is the difference between the Zont H-2000 + controller and the H-2000? • Number of controlled heating circuits: no limit (H-2000 has 6) • Number of controlled heat sources (cascade of boilers): no limit (H-2000 has 2) • Support for ZE-66 expansion units: yes (H-2000 no) 1 expansion unit is optional: - 6 universal outputs, - 6 relay outputs, - input for digital wired temperature sensors, - input for 868 MHz radio module • Supported wired temperature sensors: digital DS18S20 and analog NTC (H-2000 has only digital DS18S20) • Maximum number of temperature sensors used for control (wired and radio): unlimited (H-2000 has 10)

Remote control of home heating

Ecology of cognition. Homestead: Modern automated systems allow you to remotely monitor and control autonomous heating, thus optimizing heating costs: they turn on a mode with a lower temperature, which prolongs the life of the equipment and significantly saves heating costs in your absence.

Why do you need remote mobile access to the heating system and remote dispatching?

Another two - two and a half decades ago, it was rare if the boiler and heating system were somehow automated. Everything was controlled manually and "by eye". This situation of Soviet reality was at that time talentedly ridiculed by M. Zhvanetsky in the interlude about the stoker and his control "red scratch" on the dial of the manometer. To replace the equipment of the Soviet era, where everything was controlled by one handle on the principle of "more - less", European equipment began to enter our market, equipped with control devices with an extended set of user functions.

The next important step was the development of the direction of remote control. It started with a simple one - with an ordinary boiler control panel, placed in the hall and living room, from which it was possible to change the temperature in the room or the operating mode of the boiler.

Today it is difficult to imagine a manufacturer of heating equipment, in the advertising or technical catalog of which there is no section with the image of a smartphone, computer or tablet, which is remotely connected to the equipment itself. Why is dispatching (remote control) becoming so popular now?

The simplest situation arises if you live in your country house irregularly or often leave somewhere, and you need to know if everything is in order with the heating, if you will return to a cold house, if the system is frozen, if too much or low fuel consumption, etc.

Modern automated systems allow you to remotely monitor and control autonomous heating, thus optimizing heating costs: they turn on a mode with a lower temperature, which prolongs the service life of the equipment and significantly saves heating costs in your absence. In addition, the automation timely informs about the malfunction of the heating system and allows you to remotely avoid an accident.

The main advantages of remote heating control systems:

additional comfort is created;
heating costs are reduced (up to 50%) due to the operation of the boiler in an economical mode in the absence of inhabitants in the house;
the service life of the equipment is increased due to its operation at a reduced load;
combining engineering systems into a single network allows you to reduce the overall cost of maintaining a house.

Features of remote heating control systems:

work when the set temperature is maintained throughout the house;
zone mode, when in different rooms there can be an individual temperature;
prevention of freezing of the heating system (freezing of pipes) in the cold season, when you are away from your country house or summer cottage;
the possibility of turning on the boiler in advance, for example, you need to warm up a country house to a comfortable temperature before the arrival of the inhabitants;
informing about the status and operating mode of the autonomous heating and its remote diagnostics, if necessary;
time mode, in which at different times during the day in the house a preset economical thermal mode and a normal heating mode can be maintained.

Remote heating control implies that any of these modes, as well as the specific temperature values in the rooms, are changed using a mobile connection or heating control is carried out via the Internet.

Most often, it is advisable to remotely control the boiler (the ability to change operating modes, coolant temperature). The second part is the heating system itself. In this case, you can control the executive bodies of the heating system itself and thus influence the microclimate of the premises.

Types of heating remote control systems

There are currently two systems in use for remote heating control:

Through an internet gateway. In this case, the presence of a Wi-Fi router and the Internet is required.
Using a GSM heating control module. A special GSM module with a SIM card of a cellular operator is required.

Remote control of the boiler room using mobile GSM

But what if there is no Internet in a country house? How can the heating be controlled in this case? It's very simple - using a special GSM module and a regular mobile phone. In fact, the GSM module plays the role of a remote assistant - you can send a command to it, for example, to heat it up in advance at a certain time, for example, by your arrival. Or vice versa, you can give an "order" to reduce the boiler power, for example, focusing on the updated weather forecast. You can do this without being at home - via the Internet or directly from your smartphone. The GSM module is a compact device with its own SIM-card of any operator (it is important that it provides reliable signal reception in a given area), which allows you to control the indoor climate from any phone (satellite, mobile or fixed line), tablet or PC.

Depending on the settings, your phone will receive either short SMS notifications with various information and instructions on changing the settings of the heating boiler, or you will receive phone calls with various information about the operation of the heating system. A special mobile application is installed on the phone (there are versions for all popular operating systems: Android, iOs, Windows Phone ...), which allows you to directly remotely control almost all parameters of the heating boiler.

The GSM heating control module is essentially a computer docked with external sensors and having the ability to change the operating modes of the heating system. Naturally, the module must be in the area of reliable reception of mobile operators.

Remote control of the boiler using a set of equipment with an Internet gateway

Now we will consider the option of remote heating control, if there is an Internet and a Wi-Fi router (aka a router) in a country house or dacha. Then remote control is implemented much easier - you can view in detail the state of the heating devices in the dwelling and change their settings.

The main possibilities of controlling the heating system using a set of equipment with an Internet gateway:

control of heating only modes (boiler and, if necessary, pump);
control of several heating zones;
control of heating and hot water supply;
maintaining different temperatures in different rooms, schedule of temperature regimes by day, hour and minute;
hot water heating control, automatic control modes, including energy-saving and "vacation" mode.

We will consider the features of remote control systems using the example of some manufacturers from Western Europe.

ETA

ETA is one of the largest biomass boiler manufacturers in Austria. ETA boilers are fully automated and do not require maintenance personnel. Solid fuel boilers are quite inertial, moreover, they can shut down when using low-quality fuel. For solid fuel boilers, remote control and management is essential. The special free internet platform "meinETA" allows you to accomplish this task.

If the boiler is connected to the Internet, you can see and change all heating settings on your mobile phone, tablet or PC. Thus, it is possible to control the heating system regardless of the location of the operator. If you go to the website www.meinETA.at, then the user sees the image of the touch screen, which in appearance and current indication completely coincides with what is displayed on the display of the controller of a particular boiler.

This program also allows you to notify that the supply of fuel (pellets) is running out, and also warns about the overflow of the ash drawer.

For convenience, you can give the service organization access to your meinETA account. A specialist will either advise you by phone on how to eliminate an abnormal situation that has arisen, or an employee of the service organization will come on call, already knowing the nature of the malfunction. You can also set access to the boiler through the status display and who is in your partner network.

To use meinETA, you need a broadband connection in your home. The boiler touch screen is connected to the Internet using a network cable. If there is no network connection in the combustion room, you can connect via the ETA PowerLine. This device efficiently transfers data from any connector to the modem.

MeinETA software runs on all modern operating systems for tablets, smartphones and PDAs, such as iOS or Android. When using a computer, meinETA is loaded by any modern internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 9.

Viessmann

Viessmann is a well-known manufacturer of boilers and heating equipment of various types. Continuous communication with the Viessmann boiler is made possible by the Vitocom 100 LAN1 supervisor. To use this device, it is necessary to connect it to the boiler via the LAN interface and provide it with Internet access via a router. Thus, the boiler automation will have access to the Vitodata 100 server, which will allow it to be controlled remotely.

The control process itself can be carried out in two ways: directly via the Vitodata 100 server using an internet browser or via the free Vitotrol App.

The app works with all boilers equipped with Vitotronic controllers and provides the following functions:

remote control of different heating circuits of the heating system; setting operating modes, setting preset temperatures, as well as time programs for heating and hot water preparation;
monitoring the condition of the boiler and other elements of the heating installation;
power generation by solar collectors; remote activation of programs to optimize energy consumption and maintain an economical mode of operation of the equipment.

In the event of a boiler malfunction, the user is immediately notified of this, which allows you to quickly eliminate the problem.

For users looking for advanced home climate control, Viessmann now offers the Vitocomfort 200, a combination of various wireless sensors and devices for complete energy management throughout the home.

The control is carried out via the Vitocomfort mobile app with the following options:

remote control of lighting of individual rooms, as well as power supply of electrical appliances;
control of the heating system of different rooms using radiator thermal heads with radio control, as well as control units for underfloor heating;
building signaling by means of motion sensors or sensors for opening windows and doors; adaptation of photovoltaic systems to the building's power supply system; full accounting of all meter readings.

With Vitocomfort, the user can program various scenarios for maintaining the microclimate of the premises during different events, be it a temporary program, the absence of the owner of the house or a banal opening of a window. Using Vitocomfort, the user can always easily adapt the microclimate of his home to his own needs and daily routine.

Remote dispatching and remote control of heating equipment automation via mobile telephony and the Internet has long ceased to be a "fashionable thing". This is a justified solution that allows you to significantly save on heating and at the same time increase the degree of comfort for the inhabitants of the home. In addition, remote access allows you to avoid the consequences of most emergencies and emergency situations.

With the growing popularity of remote control systems, equipment manufacturers increasingly offer services for remote optimization of energy consumption not only of heating equipment, but also of the entire energy consumption in the house. The heating system becomes central, or at least an integral part of Smart Home systems. published If you have any questions on this topic, ask the specialists and readers of our project here.

Remote control of the boiler using a set of equipment with an Internet gateway

Now we will consider the option of remote control of heating, if the country house or dacha has the Internet and, of course, a Wi-Fi router (aka a router). Everything is much simpler here - you can see the capabilities of the devices proposed below and forever forget about your worries about the state of the heating system of your home.

You can buy a modern wireless internet thermostat Salus IT500 on our website

Salus IT500 provides control and adjustment of operating parameters in up to two heating zones, for example, in the 1st room on the first floor of the cottage and the shower room on the second floor. The kit includes an actuator (boiler receiver), a room 2-channel thermostat (weekly boiler programmer, boiler control panel) and an Internet gateway connected to an Internet router (router).

Possibilities of controlling the heating system using a set of equipment with the Salus iT500 Internet gateway:

control of heating only modes (boiler and, if necessary, pump);
control of several heating zones;
control of heating and hot water supply of a country house.
maintaining different temperatures in different rooms, schedule of temperature regimes by days, hours and minutes
6 preset heating modes on delivery
hot water heating control, automatic control modes, including energy-saving and "vacation" mode.
a unique communication system for devices via the Internet, providing reliable connection and control of the heating system: smartphone (or personal computer) -> Internet server -> router (router) -> thermostat -> receiver -> boiler

All equipment is wireless and communicates with each other via a radio channel, i.e. there is no need to lay electrical wiring. The room thermostat for the heating boiler is programmed for daily, weekly or 5 + 2 operating modes. On the thermostat screen and in applications for remote heating control, the current state of the boiler, the current temperature and the set temperature are displayed. The setting of the work schedule can be done from the thermostat panel, via an Internet browser or using a mobile application. The thermostat has a modern design, is highly reliable and safe to use. With the use of additional equipment Salus Controls, it is possible to control, including remotely, underfloor heating, gas and electric boilers, oil heating systems, as well as almost any other heating systems and devices. Remote control does not require a dedicated external IP address, the whole system works perfectly on any mobile Internet (Yota, Megafon, Beeline, etc.), it is also possible to control from computers and mobile devices on Android and iOS operating systems.

What to do if there is no wired internet in the house, but a Wi-Fi internet thermostat has already been purchased?

Most likely, the dacha has coverage of mobile operators, isn't it? So you have the Internet too! Just buy a Wi-Fi router with a USB port and, in addition, a 3G or 4G modem. Install a SIM-card of any mobile operator in the modem that provides a reliable signal in the area where your home is located. Insert the modem itself into the USB connector of the router and that's it - now you have the opportunity to control the heating of the summer cottage remotely!

If for someone the iT500 seems expensive, then the company offers a more budgetary solution - an Internet thermostat Salus RT310i The thermostat has somewhat reduced capabilities in comparison with the "older brother", but it can be a worthy replacement for it, due to the lower price of the kit. Outwardly, the RT310i looks more modest in comparison with the first-class high-tech design of the iT500, it lacks touch control, but in terms of functionality the models are almost identical. Except if the iT 500 is capable of controlling 2 heating or cooling zones, then the RT310i can only control one zone.

Remote control of the heating boiler.

Modern technologies provide us with the opportunity to arrange our life with maximum comfort and ergonomics.
Heating of premises is one of the main expense items in the organization of everyday life. Effective room temperature management can significantly reduce heat costs.

When there are no people in the house (apartment, office, etc.), energy consumption can be reduced to a minimum. But entering a cool room and then waiting for a long time until it is heated is unpleasant and hazardous to health. To maintain a comfortable atmosphere, you need to start increasing the temperature before people enter the room. It is for these purposes that the remote control of the heating boiler is intended. It can be carried out:

via GSM modules;
via Wi-Fi.

Heating boiler automation.

"Automation for heating boilers" refers to a set of devices that regulate the heating process without human intervention. Such a system frees you from having to change the settings yourself.

Today there are many types of automatic heating controls:

electronic;
mechanical;
electromechanical.

The connection of automation for a heating boiler can also be different. Different systems can connect:

to the heating boiler;
to the servo;
to the pump.

Modern models are equipped with smart thermostats that increase or decrease heating according to a set schedule.
Surprisingly, boiler automation can help fight insomnia. The program can be set in such a way that the temperature in the room will decrease by night. Artificial cooling perfectly imitates the evening coolness and causes drowsiness. Thus, reducing the heating output during night hours not only saves money, but also improves health.

Boiler control via telephone.

Using the telephone, you can control both gas and electric boilers. At the same time, the system, in addition to regulating the temperature and saving fees for housing and communal services, will also allow:

in the event of an impending boiler failure, it sends a corresponding warning to the owner;
informs about unauthorized entry into the premises.

If a GSM thermostat is installed on the boiler, then it can be controlled through a special application that is downloaded to the phone. It does not require Internet access, a SIM card and a cell phone are enough. Mobile applications are developed on all major operating systems: iOS, Android, Windows Phone.

A system using GSM is like a computer with one single task: maintaining a given temperature regime.

A hard-coded program can be entered into the system, and it will automatically maintain the temperature background, which can be either constant or changing over time. Also, the owner at any time can use the boiler control via the phone and change any of the parameters.

The settings of the control unit are changed using ordinary SMS messages.

If any malfunctions occur (for example, leaks, pipe problems, etc.), then the system itself sends an alarm message to the phone.

Heating control via the Internet.

For this type of control, the building must have internet access, and a Wi-Fi router and internet thermostat must also be installed. Temperature sensors can be installed in any room. As soon as the temperature deviates from the currently set value, the sensor sends a radio signal, and the heating increases, or vice versa, decreases.

Heating control via the Internet, the process is quite simple - the owner gives control signals via Wi-Fi.

The remote heating control system via Wi-Fi can be connected even to very old heating equipment. It is ideal for those facilities where there is a stable Internet connection. You can send control signals using a phone, computer, tablet.

Heating control smart home.

Smart home provides access to special comfort and rich possibilities for remote control of heating boilers of all types: gas (these are the most common), electric, liquid fuel, solid fuel.

The smart home system can be used to equip not only elite modern cottages, but also any building or room. In this case, the heating function can include both maintaining the set air temperature and providing a warm floor. This system is easiest to install on gas and electric boilers. Many modern models of boilers, both electric and gas, have design features specially adapted for connecting remote heating control.

Systems used in smart homes include sensors and actuators that are installed at the points where heat is distributed. In most cases, the heating circuit has several such points.

Heating control a smart home does not represent anything particularly complicated in the organization in an ordinary house. The necessary equipment can be mounted in a city apartment in a multi-storey building, in a country house, and in a country cottage. For each of these options, specialists select their own system, or design a unique solution.

The maximum efficiency, obviously, is provided by smart home systems connected to the autonomous heat supply of a private cottage. They allow full automation of all processes:

fuel supply for the boiler (any type);
fuel consumption rate;
coolant circulation;
temperature regime.

Remote heating control - the main advantages.

So, we will briefly list the main advantages of remote control of a heating boiler and the use of automation for a heating boiler.

a well-designed program allows you to reduce payments for heat by almost half.
equipment lasts longer as the number of on / off operations is minimized.
the ability to maintain day and night temperature conditions.
the ability to maintain different temperatures in different rooms.
constant monitoring of the condition of the boiler, warning of emergency situations.
the ability to control the boiler via the telephone and control the heating via the Internet.

For uninterrupted remote control of heating, you need a stable power supply, stable telephone connection, or a stable Internet.

Missing the iT500 Features? No problem - the Salus iT600 can do anything and more!

Is it possible to remotely control the heating via GSM and Wi-Fi?

Progress does not stand still and a number of companies already offer models of thermostats on the market with the possibility of combined control. For example, let's take a quick look at the automatic Zont Climatic model. ZONT Climatic is one of the new models of MicroLine company for comfortable control of a multi-circuit heating system. The automatic regulator can control 2 boilers, which can operate both on the same name and on different digital buses: OpenTherm, E-Bus or Navien.

What are the main features and benefits of ZONT Climatic? - Fully ready-to-install thermostat, all in one housing. - Weather-dependent control - No need to buy intermediate relays - the power section is included. - The case of the thermostat can be mounted directly on the wall - The digital bus cards are purchased depending on the specific needs of the owner and are easily mounted inside the case. - The pumps and actuators of the 3-way valves are directly connected. - Configuration and control is carried out from the panel of the device (can be moved to a convenient place) or remotely via a GSM channel or Wi-Fi. More details - on the pages of specific ZONT models Climatic 1.1, 1.2, 1.3

And what about the owners of outdated heating systems?

Tech WiFi 8S - one of the newest and most functional models of thermostats of the Polish company Tech Controllers (Polish version of the name Tech Sterowniki), on the basis of which you can build a multi-zone radiator heating control system for your home. For example, in a country house or in a country house, the heating system was installed many years ago. Naturally, a distributor comb was not provided, there are no three-way mixing valves, there is, in principle, no possibility to control something. Until recently, the only way out of this situation was to install mechanical thermal heads on radiators. Such a solution has the right to exist, but, firstly, the accuracy of temperature control is several degrees, and secondly, you need to adjust these very thermal heads on each radiator separately, in the morning and in the evening. Troubled and inconvenient. Fortunately, electric thermal heads with high measurement accuracy have appeared on the market. Tech Controllers went even further and offers you a whole system that controls battery-powered thermoelectric servos over your home Wi-Fi network in accordance with preset settings. And now even the owners of outdated heating systems have an opportunity for a comfortable stay!

Tech WiFi 8S can control the temperature in 8 rooms, each of which can have up to 6 thermal actuators! In addition to controlling thermoelectric drives, the controller can also control the boiler: when the set temperature is reached in all rooms, it will turn off the boiler using a "dry contact".

Remote control of complex heating systems

The Polish company Tech Controllers is gaining an increasing share in this market segment, producing a wide range of controllers with remote control capabilities.The Tech controllers themselves are multifunctional devices that are the main, basic part of the system, which can remotely control almost any heating systems of any complexity using additional modules. There are a lot of possibilities, therefore, using an example, we will only consider the possibilities for remote control.

Installation example of Tech Controllers equipment

The photo used for editing: 1. Tech ST-409n controller - a multifunctional device designed to control a central heating system, providing: • interaction with three wired room regulators • interaction with a wireless room thermostat • smooth control of three mixing valves • DHW pump control • return temperature protection • weather-dependent control and weekly programming • module connection possibility ST-65 GSM for remote control of heating from a smartphone GSM • possibility of connecting the ST-505 module, which allows remote control of the boiler via the Internet. • the ability to control two additional valves using the additional modules ST-61v4 or ST-431 N • The ability to control additional equipment, such as garage doors, lighting or sprinkler, etc.

Different Tech modules can be used for remote control, it all depends on the specific needs of the owner. For example:

2. Tech Wi-Fi RS Module, which allows: • remotely control the operation of the boiler via the Internet • view the parameters of all devices of the heating system • edit all parameters of the main controller • view the history of alarms and parameter changes • assign an unlimited number of passwords (for different access levels - menus, events, statistics) • change the preset temperature on the room thermostat • notify owner of alarms by email

3.Ethernet module Tech ST-505 • remote control of the boiler operation via the Internet • viewing the parameters of all devices of the heating system • the ability to edit all the parameters of the main controller • viewing the history of alarms and parameter changes • the ability to assign an unlimited number of passwords (for different access levels - menus, events, statistics) • changing the set temperature on the room thermostat • alarm notification by e-mail alarm

4. Tech ST-65 GSM module The module interacts with the Tech controller wirelessly and allows remote control of the boiler operation from a GSM mobile phone. The user is informed: • by an SMS message about each deviation from the preset boiler operation parameters, • the module, on demand, sends a message with information about the current temperature at all active sensors. After entering the authorization code, it is also possible to remotely change the set temperatures. • by sms and by phone (incoming call) with a message about a malfunction of the heating device.

Heating controller Tech I-3

The TECH i-3 controller is a multifunctional electronic device designed to control the heating system of a country house, cottage or apartment. This is a further development of the ST-409N controller model with a modern design and a large touchscreen color LCD screen with the ability to connect:

three mixing valves
two heat sources
solar plant maintenance
the ability to control additional equipment based on air temperature, coolant or time, for example, electric heating element, lighting or irrigation system, etc.

What if the heating system is so individual that none of the above solutions can fully meet the needs of its owner for its control? There are no hopeless situations! Most often, the customer himself simply does not understand (and should not!) All the capabilities of modern remote heating control systems.It is really difficult for an unprepared person to understand all this abundance of devices offered on the market, which are completely different from each other in functionality, price, and, of course, quality. And installers, often, simply have no idea about the possibilities for controlling heating systems - their task is to mount the system, but how often you will run around the house (or into the boiler room) and turn various valves to ensure constant thermal comfort, they do not care ... Our specialists more than once had to almost completely redo the "creations" of such craftsmen, and this, believe me, costs a lot of money. A miser pays twice ...
