SMART HEATING
We are experts in installing smart heating control systems such as Nest, Hive & Honeywell to name but three.
Smart thermostats are a new bit of kit that connects your heating system to the internet – letting you change the temperature or switch your heating off on your smartphone or other device when you’re out and about, or with your computer. Some also work with Amazon Alexa.
The cool feature of all smart thermostats is changing your heating with your phone – whether you’re out and about, lounging on the couch or having a lie-in.
Other features vary by thermostat, but common ones include multi-room control, hot water control, ‘geofencing’ to track when you leave and enter your home, draught detection, safety and holiday modes to protect your pipes when you’re not there, and feedback on your heating patterns.
Not every model will have all these features, but most are prevalent across different makes.
Geofencing is another common feature of smart thermostats. It’s when technology is used to create a virtual boundary for a real geographic area. With a ‘geofence’ in place, software such as an app can know when a mobile device enters or leaves a particular location.
So by using geofencing, your smart thermostat will know when you leave or return home, and will switch your heating on or off automatically, or ask you what you want to do, depending on your model.
