Smart Home
The Internet of Things (IoT), allows
home owners to control their heating
wherever and whenever, and schedule
heating for when you wake up or arrive
back. This saves not money and time,
while improving comfortable.
To reduce energy consumption and
heating bills, connectivity, reliability
and overall performance are all crucial.
However, there are a number of new
functions that are fast becoming a
necessity.
Smart Rooms
Today we demand personalisation.
The next stage for heating is control
and scheduling in each room
independently. From a comfort point of
view, each room should be at different
temperatures – the bedroom cooler and
the bathroom warmer. We control our
lights switch-to-switch and we control
our water tap-to-tap – why don’t we
control our heat room-to-room.
Traditional thermostats and radiator
controls simply aren’t efficient or
measurable. A smart room thermostat,
multi-room system measures and
controls the temperature of each room
and has a huge impact on comfort,
convenience and energy bills. Smart
heating systems now enable users to
personalise their home environment
according to their needs by allowing
them to control the temperature and
schedule in their home completely
independently.
Smart Usability
With the explosion of apps, it’s now
possible to take control of at-home
appliances including heating, lighting
and entertainment systems. Not only
does this make it easier for individuals
to control their appliances, for heating
in particular it allows individuals to
take control of their energy on the
go to reduce their long-term energy
consumption.
Now, however, heating is joining
the smart home assistant (Google
Assistant & Amazon Alexa, etc.)
revolution. Controlling heating with
voice commands, makes it easier than
ever. You can now ask them to set
your heating at a certain temperature,
increase/decrease the heating and check
what temperature your home is at.
Smart Analysis
Next generation heating solutions
aren’t simply customisable, they
provide complete insight into usage
and self-improve. How does room
temperature naturally change during
the day, how does occupancy cause
levels to fluctuate, and what is optimal?
Today’s systems enable the kind of
insight, crucial in a data driven world.
Today pioneering smart heating system,
come as a single solution, linking
radiators and thermostats through IoT
technology, while a phone app provides
convenience and control and analytics
continuation optimises cost and
comfort. These solutions allows users to
monitor the temperatures of individual
73
rooms and change them remotely via
their smartphone, wherever they are.
Home improvers may now be striving
for smarter, more connected homes, but
they want something that’s plug and
play. Smart heating systems fit the bill
as they have no wires, no installation
and no mess and of course are better for
the environment. Adopting technology
like this is necessary if people want to
reduce their energy consumption in
the future. The most modern heating
solutions will be key in facilitating
smarter, more energy efficient homes
for the benefit of our wallets and our
planet.
