Heating Control via Mobile and Internet

Various smart technologies are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives. They bring us not only comfort and entertainment but also greater security and financial savings. Intelligent heating controlled via the internet or a mobile app offers a range of advantages.

Remotely Controlled Thermostats Represent the Pinnacle of the Market

Room thermostats have undergone unprecedented development over the past few years – from classic to digital to truly smart ones. What is the difference between them?

  1. Classic thermostats for boilers are usually controlled by a dial or buttons and allow you to set temperatures only manually and permanently.

  2. Digital programmable thermostats can be much better optimized and controlled via a touchscreen. In addition to a weekly heating program, some of them allow setting temperatures for different rooms separately.

  3. Smart thermostats can work with a range of data from various sensors and weather forecasts. Artificial intelligence considers your preferences for each time of day and each room separately and continuously optimizes the operation of the heating system, significantly reducing heating costs.

  4. WiFi thermostats are smart thermostats that you can additionally connect to your home WiFi and control from anywhere and anytime via the internet or a mobile app.

What is Needed to Control Heating via Mobile?

Manufacturers of wireless thermostats usually offer these devices as a complete set including all accessories. The set for controlling heating via the internet or smartphone includes:

  • central control unit with a touchscreen,
  • smart zone regulators,
  • indoor and outdoor temperature sensors, and possibly other sensors, such as a window opening sensor or a presence sensor in the room,
  • mobile app,
  • depending on the specific model, appropriate relay units, actuators, adapters, batteries, cables, etc.

Besides that, you will only need internet access – both for the thermostat itself and for you and your app on a smartphone or tablet.

What are the Options for Controlling a Smart Thermostat?

Smart thermostats for boilers can be controlled directly on-site using the touchscreen on the control unit. If you use a smart home system or voice assistant, these options can also be used without any issues.

However, the most sought-after option is controlling heating via mobile or the internet, as this method provides you with perfect control over heating and energy consumption, no matter where you are.

Advantages of Room WiFi Thermostats or Why Control Heating Remotely?

Smart technology enthusiasts probably don't need much convincing about the benefits of WiFi thermostats. Simple wireless heating control, smart features, user-friendliness, and worry-free heating operation – all this and much more simply belong in every modern household.

The most important reasons to get a remotely controlled room thermostat are much more practical – heating operation is significantly cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

With a smart thermostat, you can not only set the exact temperature for each room and each time of day separately, but you can change and optimize all these values anytime with just a few clicks on your phone – for example, if you are delayed at work, the thermostat will simply turn on the heating later. You will achieve even better results and higher savings, if you install an electronic circulation pump on the heating, such as the Grundfos ALPHA2 with the autoadapt function, which can adjust its performance according to the requirements and changes in the amount of heat.

And what about thermal comfort? This is ensured by the weekly heating program, where the temperature in the home will always be exactly as you wish. Wireless thermostats for boilers also account for irregularities in your schedule, so you can change the preset temperature at any time. With a remotely controlled thermostat, you can, for example, heat your home before returning from vacation or increase the desired temperature if you come home wet or cold.

How to Choose a Wireless Room Thermostat

Smart thermostats have become a hit in recent years, and more and more manufacturers are getting involved in their production. However, if you don't want to compromise, go for brands with a long-standing tradition, such as Honeywell. Their Evohome smart heating control system is unrivaled on the market in terms of features and quality.

The individual Honeywell Evohome smart heating sets differ mainly in the number of heads or thermostats. The rule is that the more zones and sensors smart heating has, the more efficient its operation. For a medium to large family house, a set costing around 15-25,000 CZK will suffice. Average annual savings on heating will be around 25%, which is roughly 5-15,000 CZK. This means that the return on investment for heating a family house is usually 1-2 years, but no more than 3 years. You can verify this in a case study.

Remote heating control is not just a fashion trend but a crucial step towards a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and modern household.
