Además de presentar Qué termostato inteligente funciona con mi bomba de calor geotérmica Waterfurnace, this blog will tell you about the necessity, the low consumption, recommendation of smart thermostat.
Does A Geothermal System Need A Special Thermostat?
Sí, it does. The main function of the smart thermostat system is to sensor the indoor temperature near the water furnace geothermal and send signals to the geothermal boiler. Por ejemplo, when the sensor on the water furnace geothermal of each room calls for heat, the smart switch or controller connected to the boiler will switch on the boiler. Entonces, it promises an expected geothermal temperature whenever you go home.
Do Smart Thermostats Save Money?
Sí. In addition to the above advantages, it saves the energy of producing superfluous heat if the indoor temperature becomes higher, since it can sense the temperature of each room in time and stop the operation of the heat pump. Entonces, it saves our electric charge in the long run.
Can A Thermostat Be Used with Geothermal?
Sí, it can. Because we have 2.4G WiFi, Tuya App and Zigbee IoT technology now. But how?
When the smart thermostatic radiator valve(TRV) on the geothermal water pipe detects lower a temperature than what we preset, it will tell the Zigbee gateway by Zigbee network. Entonces, the Zigbee gateway transmits the telecommunication signal to the smart thermostat. Based on the proper wiring to the boiler, smart thermostat will switch on the boiler until the temperature of TRV reaches the expected level set on the smart thermostat.
In addition to setting the expected temperature on the smart thermostat itself, we can do it on the smart phone via 2.4G WiFi telecommunication technology. After adding smart phone into the same WiFi network as Zigbee gateway and smart thermostat, we can set a target temperature in Tuya Apps. Entonces, the signal containing our expected temperature will go to the smart thermostat.
To sum up, a smart thermostat system with water furnace contains a Zigbee thermostat compatible to our boiler, several smart thermostatic radiator valves compatible with the geothermal water pipe, a Zigbee gateway connected to the thermostats and valves and a smartphone with WiFi function and Tuya App. With this system, we can enjoy a warm winter in the companion of the perfect home automatic thermostat system.
For selecting Zigbee Gateway for smart thermostat system, we recommend to consider the extendibility, transmission distance, processor type, RAM & ROM, and multiple telecommunication protocols.
For smart TRV, we should consider room quantities in the house, sensibility, and telecommunication technology.
¿Qué termostato inteligente funciona con mi bomba de calor geotérmica Waterfurnace??
For smart thermostat, we should take its telecommunication and compatibility and technology into consideration.
Telecommunication
We recommend Zigbee and WiFi IoT. Zigbee technology supports a variety of network topologies, including star, mesh, and cellular. The star topology is one of the more common ones. In this network, all nodes are connected through a single coordinator, which is simple and easy to manage. This structure is suitable for intelligent water furnace geothermal systems very much. Mientras tanto, WiFi IoT can connect with our smartphones or tablets. Entonces, we are allowed to set the desired thermostatic temperature and boiler working hours remotely through the mobile app.
Compatibility to the Boiler
In common, Phixson’s white-label smart thermostat fits most boiler types if the wiring is right. We can set the expected temperature as well as turn on/off the boiler by pressing the buttons on the smart thermostat. Además, it excels in taking real-time action when the smart TRVs detecting indoor temperatures call for heating. Entonces, it is really compatible to common household water furnace geothermal heat pump systems.
What Is the Best Choice to Upgrade to a WiFi Capable Thermostat for My Second House, Which Is Small, Near the Coast and Has a 2 Ton Water Furnace 5 Geothermal Cube?
If there is a special case like the above title, don’t worry. Our Phixson has other customized solutions. A 2-ton water furnace usually comes with its own controller. If we want to upgrade it to a WiFi smart thermostat system, we just need a WiFi hub compatible to the water furnace controllers and WiFi smart TRV indoors.
Still, Phixson WiFi hub can fit most water furnaces in the market. And it is very easy to connect to boiler controllers. También, Phixson’s WiFi TRV features good sensibility and quality. If you would like to ODM smart thermostat work with various water furnace geothermal heat pumps, please feel free to contact us.
Partner Phixson to Cooperative R&D
We phixon are pleased to offer ODM IoT services to traditional water furnace geothermal heat pump companies, looking forward to upgrading traditional appliance field. También, we welcome any OEM order of smart household devices.
