Using GSM to control a heating boiler

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 apps try to make them user-friendly and easy to understand, even by 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.

Possibilities of remote control of the heating boiler

Before buying a GSM module for a boiler, you need to understand for yourself what kind of problem you need to solve on the one hand and whether your boiler will allow you to solve this problem, on the other. If you have a boiler from a European manufacturer (Vailant, Proterm, Ariston, Bosch, Buderus, Ferolli, Baksi, etc.), then it allows you to connect an external temperature control system to itself. Regularly - this means without violating the electrical and electronic circuits and the internal boiler control unit, respectively, without losing the warranty. If you have a Korean boiler (Kiturami, Navien, Saturn, etc.), then it does not have standard connections for external systems, but it has already gained experience in abnormal connection to the control circuits of these boilers. Thus, if the boiler has its own electronic control unit, then in almost any case it is possible to connect an external GSM heating control module to it.
In most cases, connecting a home heating remote control system gives the following possibilities:

1. Remote change of the temperature in the house (before arrival, raise the temperature).
2. Turn off and turn on heating.
3. Control of the heating system operation (running / alarm).
4. Reading boiler errors by phone (if Open Therm protocol is available).
5. Smooth change in the burner power of a gas boiler to save money (with the Open Therm protocol).

The savings come from two factors. Firstly, this is the use of a room thermostat, and secondly, it is an economical mode of operation of the boiler (maintaining a low temperature) in the absence of people. At the same time, the comfort provided by the boiler remote control module lies in the fact that people come to the house that has already been warmed up before their arrival. The command to warm up the house to a comfortable temperature is sent by the owner from the phone via SMS or an application just before arrival.

In general, remote control of a heating system is performed as follows:

1. The equipment is controlled by sending SMS commands from a mobile phone. You can download a special application for your smartphone platform from the manufacturer of the GSM thermostat. After that, control the operation of the boiler by pressing the necessary buttons in the application.
2. Connected devices can be started and stopped from a mobile phone whose number is registered in the GSM module of the heating remote control unit. This allows you not only to turn off the heating when you leave the house, and turn it on shortly before returning, but also to maintain a lower temperature in the absence of people in the house and thereby save energy. The ability to shutdown the boiler remotely is useful to prevent accidents.
3. Tracking equipment indicators: in the simplest case, if the temperature has dropped below the permissible value, then it is obvious that the boiler does not heat up and you need to go to correct the situation. In more complex boiler control systems via GSM, it is possible to receive boiler error codes on the phone (if your boiler supports the Open Therm interface). The most common mistakes: low coolant pressure, low gas pressure, no exhaust gas draft, overheating safety sensor has triggered.

Thus, remote control of a gas boiler allows you to change the temperature in the house, the intensity of heating and other characteristics. Users of special applications can create their own profiles so that every time they do not waste time setting the desired parameters. This makes the monitoring and management process even easier.

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.

Types of systems

If you have a need to remotely control the heating of a country house, you need to choose one of two systems:

• the set of equipment includes an Internet gateway, while a Wi-Fi router and an Internet connection are required;
• the set of equipment includes a GSM module that controls the boiler unit, which needs its own SIM card for mobile communication.

Remote heating control system

We manage via the Internet

If the dacha or cottage is connected to an Internet provider or a wireless connection is used, and a router (Wi-Fi router) is available, then it makes sense to provide remote control of the boiler using special equipment.

In addition to the Internet gateway that connects to the router, the kit includes a boiler receiver and a two-channel room thermostat with a programmer that allows you to set the weekly mode of operation of the boiler unit, and a control panel.

Heating control via the Internet allows

:

• correct the operation of the gas boiler and pumping unit;
• change the operating mode in several heating zones independently of each other;
• regulate the functioning of the hot water supply system;
• monitor compliance with the programmed temperature regime for a day or a week for each of the premises;
• set energy saving modes.

For remote control, a communication system is used between control and monitoring devices. The user must have a personal computer, tablet or smartphone available. Thanks to the Internet, it exchanges signals with a router, which, in turn, communicates with a thermostat that controls the boiler through a receiver.

Heating system control via the Internet using a PC, phone or tablet

This is a wireless boiler control system, communication is via a radio channel - there is no need to connect a cable to the thermostat. Thermostat programming (setting the operating mode for a day or a week) is carried out from the control panel of the device. It can also be done from a smartphone by installing the appropriate mobile application, or from a personal computer via an Internet browser.

Advanced equipment with an Internet gateway allows you to remotely control auxiliary heating equipment - an oil radiator, a water or electric floor heating, etc.

Controlling the temperature in the house using the Internet does not require a dedicated IP address; you can use the mobile Internet from any operator. User mobile devices on iOS or Android are connected to the system.

We operate using mobile GSM

An alternative to the complex with an Internet gateway is the GSM boiler control module.This is a compact device in which a SIM card is installed - the choice of a telecom operator does not matter, but it must provide high-quality signal reception. The GSM heating control module allows the user to make the necessary adjustments to the operation of the system at any time and at any distance - for this it is enough to use any phone (mobile, satellite or fixed line), as well as a stationary PC, laptop or tablet.

Heating control in a country house via GSM requires the installation of a special mobile application on the user's phone - versions for different operating systems are provided - Windows Phone, iOs, Android. Thanks to the mobile application, almost all operating parameters of the heat generator can be adjusted remotely.

We control heating remotely using an Android phone

Depending on the settings made, information from the GSM module will be sent to the user's phone in the form of SMS messages or phone calls. For remote GSM control of a gas boiler, the module sends information about the functioning of the heating system, instructions for adjusting the settings of the boiler unit. The boiler GSM control device is a portable computer that processes data received from external sensors and has the ability to change the operating parameters of the heat generator.

Note! The GSM heating control unit spends up to 100 MB of mobile Internet traffic per month during operation. In order for the device to function smoothly and the user can check the state of the heating system at any time, it is recommended to regularly top up the balance by setting auto payment, or install a SIM card with an unlimited tariff into the module.

To control heating using a phone, it is enough to enter the cloud service on the website of the module manufacturer to control the system without sending phone calls or SMS.

GSM heating control is designed to function

:

• in automatic mode - the controller ensures the execution of the specified programs, receiving signals from external sensors;
• with SMS control - the controller receives SMS messages about the readings of the sensors and reconfigures the boiler in accordance with the new conditions;
• in warning mode - in case of problems (depressurization of the pipeline, gas leakage, etc.), the device sends alarm messages to the user;
• in the remote control mode for various additional systems and devices (lighting, irrigation, etc.).

Heating electronic control unit
The compact and easy-to-use wireless device enables

:

• monitor the temperature in the premises, receiving appropriate reports;
• receive key information about the operation of the heating system;
• control the system by changing the temperature regime in different rooms separately.

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 installed sensors, the controller maintains the specified modes according to a 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!

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 summer house 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 budget 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.

Operating principle

Gas boiler control from the phone

For remote control of the boiler and monitoring its current state, a GSM module is installed - the basis of the control controller.

This monitoring system is intended for prompt notification through mobile telephone channels about the current values ​​of the parameters, violations of the specified operating mode and equipment failures.

Functionality of the GSM module:

• Remote control of heating and auxiliary equipment (using telephone commands in the form of sms).
• Provide remote switching off or switching on of the heating boiler.
• You can set the temperature of the heating medium and other parameters of the heating system.
• Receiving data characterizing the current operation of the boiler from temperature sensors.
• In some situations, the control unit can trigger additional equipment.

The main task of the module is to control the operation of the heating system in accordance with the specified parameters. If malfunctions occur, the module signals them by SMS to the mobile phone.

A message signal will be generated in the following cases:

• emergency stop of equipment;
• exceeding the upper preset temperature limits in the boiler and in the room where it is installed;
• triggering of a sensor indicating a gas leak or pressure surges (the signal is accompanied by an automatic shutdown of the boiler);
• triggering of connected smoke and flood sensors.

In this case, the text of the message changes for each input to the controller. In an emergency, the module sends a message to all phone numbersthat were specified during registration.

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, it is necessary to adjust these very thermal heads on each radiator separately, in the morning and in the evening. Troubled and uncomfortable. 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".

• 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 ... Contact us, we will advise you for free, and, if necessary, we will install a remote heating control system, we will help you with the selection of high-quality equipment at an affordable price.

Moscow specialists will help you choose the right one, buy, as well as install a remote heating control system, will find an acceptable solution for the price. Ask any questions you are interested in, consultation by phone is absolutely free! You will be satisfied working with us!

GSM modules for heating boilers

GSM heating control includes a set of sensors mounted on the heating boiler and connected to the controller of the boiler remote control system. In the simplest case, these are wired temperature sensors. Strictly speaking, one such sensor is sufficient. It controls the temperature and controls the heating temperature. For complex tasks (the need to control the temperature at several points), boiler remote control systems are used that support the connection of several temperature sensors. But at the same time, you need to understand that one heating circuit is still controlled by one temperature sensor.

Often the task is not only to remotely control the boiler, but also to monitor the state of the boiler room. In this case, you need a GSM thermostat with the ability to connect sensors for coolant leakage, gas leakage, smoke. Not all boiler remote control units have this function, so be careful when choosing. It is best to tell the problem to the manager of the “Everything under control.ru” store and he will select such a GSM heating system control module that meets exactly this task and at the same time costs moderately, in the region of 8-10 thousand rubles.

Inside the controller there is a GSM module with a SIM-card, which is needed to ensure communication with the owner's mobile phone. The controller receives signals from sensors, and also transmits the commands of the owner of the house to the boiler automation, thereby changing the parameters of its operation. In general, the system is characterized by simplicity of the device, high reliability and cheap maintenance.
