Thermostats (thermostats) wireless and wired, thermal heads Salus.


A room thermostat for a boiler is a device that controls heating depending on the temperature in the room, and not on the temperature of the object being heated (as, for example, floor thermostats). Programmable thermostat - allows you to set the temperature in the house depending on the time of day, day of the week. Wireless - this is when you do not need to pull wires from the basement, where the boiler is most often installed, to the living room.

So why saving? But because in most boilers there is only a knob for regulating the temperature of the coolant. And that's it. Those. setting the temperature of the coolant in the heating system, for example, 50 ° C, we get the temperature in the room 24 ° C (selected empirically), and even then, depending on the temperature outside. And if it gets warmer and the house stops cooling down, you will have to run to the basement and turn down the power. an extra degree in the room is not comfortable and most importantly expensive. And vice versa - it got colder outside the window, the walls cool faster, run to the basement again, “add a degree”. With all this, the boiler operates in a constant on / off mode (which is not entirely good), maintaining the temperature of the coolant (and not in the room), and it does this often, since the coolant in the system cools down much faster than the air in the room.

In autumn / spring, when the weather can change dramatically during the week, heating the room by an extra 1°C leads to an extra excess gas consumption (I got 1°C ~ 1 hour of full power operation, which is 2.7 cubic meters of gas). The room thermostat, when the set temperature in the room is reached, stops heating completely and waits for it to fall (by 0.5 ° C), and then turns it on again. At the same time, the maximum efficiency of the boiler is possible only at maximum power. Those. the higher the temperature in the pipes, the more return we get from each paid cubic meter of gas. Here.

Why not WiFi? Yes, I thought about buying Nest, Honeywell, and the same Salus i500. But there is one small feature. They need Wi-Fi there only so that the thermostat connects to the Internet, “logs in” on the manufacturer’s server, on which the user, through the “web interface” or “mobile” application, will set parameters and observe beautiful graphics saving money. I did not find one that could be controlled by connecting directly to the IP address (as I do for example with a satellite receiver, TV, router, NAS and wife). Give everyone internet. And if the bourgeois disconnect us from their Internet, and if a drunk tractor driver breaks the telephone cable, and if he forgot to “put” money, and if hackers “put down” the server or my account is hacked and “fried” for my money. Too many "ifs" for an extra $50-$150, the only acceptable option is to do it yourself on, but this is in the plans.

Why wireless SALUS ST 620 RF? Well, my repair is almost completed and the extra wires along the wall would not be entirely appropriate. This is a model for Europe, but our boilers do not need, as in America, 24v (and troubles with a 220/24 power supply and a relay), NC (Normally Closed) terminals are enough.

The picture is from the English instruction, because. in the Russian-speaking one, she “moved out” and 2 wires are simply not visible.

Yes, and on the local market, mainly Salus and Auraton, the price really bites - from Belarus to Russia.

So what has arrived

Graceful "pimple" from the best English manufacturers

dismemberment

Receiver. It is connected directly to the boiler (diagram at the beginning) with wires.

Transmitter (aka programmer). Hung in a heated room. It has on board a temperature sensor and an MSF 60 KHz module for adjusting the GMT time (above, wrapped with copper wire).



Backlight:

Installation work:
We remove the front panel of the boiler (I have Alfacalor made in Belarus, or rather honestly stolen from Italians)


Here is this black jumper, thanks to which the boiler works all day long, with periodic stops, heating the coolant to the set temperature.


Instead, we hook a 2-wire cable,


the second end of which is connected to the contacts COM and NC. We supply 220V and 0 to L and N, respectively.

There are 2 switches on the front panel. Using the top switch, you can set the “manual” mode if something happened to the transmitter (it burned out, broke, the batteries ran out), and then the relay will work in one of the three modes set by the bottom switch: On (Normally Closed - the boiler “threshes ”constantly), Off (Nomally Open - the circuit is broken, the boiler is not working), Cycle (4 minutes “closed”, 11 minutes “open”).



We return the front panel of the boiler to its place and turn the coolant temperature regulator so that it heats up to 75 ° C-80 ° C.

We press the SYNC button in the “receiver” with a paper clip, having previously selected the synchronization mode on the “transmitter”, and go to hang the latter on the wall to make it beautiful.

Interior. Aesthetics.
Hang away heaters, stoves, fireplaces, etc., which may affect the readings of the built-in temperature sensor.

On the right is the child lock button if you reach it.

Principle of operation:

Modes:
1. 7 days (i.e. different settings for each day). For convenience, there is a function to copy the settings for the next day.
2. 5+2 (Mon-Fri, Sat-Sun)

6 programs (settings) for each, by default like this:

Those. at 6 am the thermostat commands the boiler to start heating the water to 75°C until the room temperature reaches 21°C or 08:00 (because the heating system is inert, it is not known which will come first).
At 08:00 the thermostat will “break” the circuit, the heating and the pump will turn off, and turn on again at 11:00 and so on, 6 programs per day ...

Because I have cast iron batteries, the heating rate of the room did not exceed 1 ° C, it cools down a little more slowly, I set the following mode - at night 17 ° C, in the morning 20 ° C, in the afternoon 17 ° C, in the evening 21 ° C. I shifted the time for the weekend, taking into account the fact that there are more people, and drunk people sleep longer.

Peculiarity.
In the settings there is a PWM mode (pulse width modulation). But this is for electric underfloor heating, I guess.
It was nice to know that this model has such useful thing as time adjustment. It's like CASIO - waveceptor, Atomic clock in our opinion. Preliminary acquaintance and performance check took place in the apartment panel house, the exact time signal was “caught” only at night, when the “transmitter / programmer” was lying on the windowsill. The time was synchronized according to Greenwich Mean Time, i.e. the clock is 3 hours behind. No signal was received in the center of the room. “Well, okay,” I thought, in the center of the room it doesn’t catch and it’s not necessary, why do I need GMT if I can’t set the time zone. But in brick house the exact time signal of the radio station was received everywhere - in the center of the rooms and even in the garage. There is nowhere to hide from him. Here it is necessary to either remove the cross, disable this function, or put on the panties to change the firmware.
But the salus-tech.co.uk support severely broke me off - they kindly answered by e-mail that given function does not turn off and +3 hours is impossible to do.
I made a plate based on the default one (see above), and simply added the column "time -3" and subtracted 3 hours for programming convenience.

There are simpler models
ST320RF - a program for a day, i.e. every day the same thing.
ST620 - wired
ST620WBC - wireless, the receiver is plugged into the native connector of BAXI boilers

Video of work (not mine)

Results:

"+" No need to drag wires, spoil the interior
"+" Touch control
"+" Time synchronization works up to 30° East longitude 50° North latitude. Liked the review +43 +101

Efficient heating system management in a residential area helps not only to constantly maintain a comfortable temperature, but also to reduce the cost of electricity and fuel, and extend the life of the equipment.

Application of wireless thermostats allows you to fully automate the process work regulation gas boiler.

Wireless thermostat device for gas boiler

A thermostat (thermostat) is a special device that installed on boiler equipment with the aim of prevent overheating and eliminate high loads. These devices are of two types:

  • wired- are connected to the gas boiler using terminals and a wired connection;
  • wireless- regulate the functions of the controller by means of a radio signal.

A set of thermostats that control the operation of the heating boiler remotely, consists of two blocks.One of which, with the help of special terminals, is attached directly to gas valve or controller.

Second a unit equipped with a liquid crystal display and a miniature keyboard is installed in the room. Between each other thermostat modules connected by radio channel, the frequency of which does not affect the operation of others electrical appliances in the House.

Important! The principle of operation of a wireless thermostat is based on control of fluctuations in air temperature in the living room. The remote thermostat turns the gas boiler on and off when the temperature set by the user is reached. This is precisely its main difference from wired devices, which react to the cooling of water in the coolant.

Varieties of room thermostats

Depending on the functionality wireless thermostats there are three types:

  1. Simple- devices only maintain the set temperature in the living room, while not affecting the reduction of gas consumption.
  2. Programmable(programmers) - the user has the ability to set and configure the operating mode heating equipment not only during the day(day and night), but also on the days of the week, as well as for the period of departure of the owners. The installation of such thermostats contributes to a significant reduction in gas consumption.

Photo 1. Weekly wireless programmable thermostat SALUS 091FL RF. Provides 6 factory and 3 customization programs.

  1. With hydrostatic function- devices not only maintain the optimal temperature in the living room, but also control the level of humidity in it.

After entering the desired room temperature parameters into the memory of the wireless thermostat, the user can no longer think about controlling the operation. heating system. In case of temperature drop air below the minimum limit set by the program, the thermostat sends a signal about it to the control unit, after which the heater and the pump are turned on automatically.

The same operating principle is implemented in case of exceeding the maximum allowable value temperature air in the room - the gas boiler turns off on its own.

Before buying a wireless thermostat, you should clarify parameters such as general heated area premises and approximate temperature level air to be maintained. Knowing these indicators, the seller will help you choose the right regulator model and warn against buying too powerful a device.

In terms of quality and reliability, regulators have proven themselves best of all the following brands:

  • Oventrop (Germany).
  • Danfoss (Denmark).
  • Valtek (Italy).
  • Kermi (Germany).

Wireless thermostats implements each company specializing in the manufacture of heating equipment. At the same time, manufacturers strongly recommend purchasing gas boilers and temperature controllers of the same brand.

This will simplify the installation and aggregation of equipment. And also the use of climatic devices of the same brand eliminates the occurrence of additional inconveniences in their operation.

Additional options for efficient heating

When choosing a room thermostat, you should pay attention to the presence in the characteristics of the device additional features:

  • "ECO"- allows you to change the settings to a smaller (energy-saving) value for a period up to 24 hours.
  • "Vacation"- reduction of gas consumption by lowering the temperature in the room during the absence of residents up to several months.

  • "Party"- the daily routine is respected within 1-23 hours, after which the system returns to normal operation.
  • "Non-working day"- when this function is activated, the Sunday program is supported in the room up to several tens of days.
  • « Open window» - the heating system is turned off when the temperature in the room drops sharply during ventilation.
  • GSM module or WI-FI module- the user can control the operation of the gas boiler remotely via the Internet.

Price

Choosing the type of control device, should be guided by the following criteria:

  • price- the cheapest are wired electronic and wireless simple thermostats;
  • energy savingoptimal solution is the acquisition of programmable devices.

The cost of the simplest room thermostats is, on average, 40-50 dollars. Multifunctional models are even more expensive - starting from 80 dollars. However, when buying a regulator, you must remember that the device will pay for itself within 1-2 heating seasons by reducing the consumption of gas and electricity.

Important! Before installing a room thermostat, you must carry out home insulation. Otherwise, due to high heat losses, energy consumption will not decrease.

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

  1. Precise temperature control in the living room- sensors built into the device modules are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. As long as the air temperature is within the user-defined limits, the gas boiler does not work.

Photo 2. Scheme of a house heating system with room-by-room thermostats Allows you to control the temperature in each room.

  1. economy- after installing a wireless thermostat, the monthly consumption of gas and electricity is reduced by 30%.
  2. Reducing the load on the boiler- the water in the heating system cools down much faster than the air in the room. Therefore, in the absence of a thermostat, the number of cycles of turning on and off the gas boiler is quite large, which leads to its additional wear. After installing the remote controller, the heating equipment operates in a more gentle mode.

Modern wireless thermostats have ergonomic design, whereby in any interior do not create disharmony. Additional advantage these devices - no need for wiring.

Minuses wireless thermostats for gas boilers:

  1. Limited battery life- when the batteries in the regulator units are discharged, it disrupts the process of transmitting a radio signal from the temperature sensor to the heating boiler. As a result, the boiler controller focuses only on the readings of its meters, which leads to overheating of the water in the coolant. To prevent such malfunctions in the operation of the wireless thermostat, most manufacturers have provided in the devices the function of notifying the state of charge of the batteries.

A device that regulates the operation of a gas boiler, focusing not on the temperature of the coolant in the boiler, but on the air temperature in the room - this is the temperature controller for the heating boiler. That is, this is an apparatus that provides not only control of the process of heating water by a gas boiler, but control of the process of heating it based on the final result.

Why buy a thermostat

When the operation of the gas boiler is adjusted manually, the equipment is forced to operate in a mode that involves constant short-term switching on and off. In this case, the start of water heating is performed for a short time - no more than 10 minutes. At the same time, the constant circulation of water in the system is ensured by pump equipment, which works regardless of the state of the heating elements.

Such an organization of the work of the climate system is fraught with significant costs. electrical energy. In addition, this mode leads to rapid wear of all boiler systems. Therefore, it is not surprising that all over the world room thermostats gained such popularity. In some Western countries their installation is generally considered mandatory. Since if the house is heated with a gas boiler, the presence of a “home controller” significantly reduces the cost of gas and electricity, and also helps to use expensive equipment more carefully.

The thermostat for the boiler has a certain response threshold (on average, about 0.2 ° C), when the air temperature drops or rises relative to the specified parameters, it either turns on or off the boiler and the pump. Such a system guarantees the owner of the thermostat a number of advantages:

  • fully provides control over maintaining the required temperature in the home, which means that even on days of sharp temperature fluctuations outside the window, in a house where the thermostat works, coziness and comfort will always reign;
  • with the advent of this equipment, the owners of a house or apartment immediately have at least one less problem: not only the “weather in the house”, but also the level of operation and health of the boiler will now be monitored by this small device;
  • due to significant savings in fuel and electricity, the cost of purchasing the device pays off within a few months.

What are thermostats

Currently, the choice of thermostats is large, while they may vary depending on:

  1. Type of boiler operation modes control:
    • wireless;
    • wired.
  2. Functionality level:
    • simple;
    • provided with hydrostat function;
    • programmable.

The wireless room thermostat for a gas boiler is able to regulate the level of operation of the boiler and the heating of the air in the premises using a radio signal. For wired, only the method of connecting to the controller via wired connections is relevant.

The scope of possibilities of thermostats can be different. Less expensive - simple, reliable and durable wired thermostats do an excellent job with the list of basic functions, stably maintaining the level of set temperatures in the room (usually in the range of 10-30 ° C), but only in one mode. In addition, the operation of the device does not affect the level of fuel consumption by the boiler.

A completely different matter is a wireless programmable room thermostat for a gas boiler.

By purchasing such a device, you can use the features:

  • remotely monitor and control the operation of the boiler;
  • installation and configuration of various operating modes of heating equipment depending on the day of the week or time of day;
  • control over fuel consumption and serviceability of gas heating boiler systems.

The list of possibilities for thermostats equipped with a gyrostat function is even wider. Such a room thermostat for a gas boiler is able to provide control not only over the temperature regime in the room, but also over the level of air humidity.

Connecting wireless option

The principle of operation of a room thermostat for a gas boiler is quite simple, but wireless thermostats remain the most convenient in terms of connection. Such a model, as a rule, consists of a couple of blocks:

  • block for installation near a gas boiler (by connecting to a controller or gas valve);
  • block with a set of control buttons and a display - designed for installation in a room from where it is planned to control the air temperature in a house or apartment.

Moreover, the connection of the thermostat to the boiler is carried out using the terminals, and the transfer of information from one unit to another is due to the use of a radio channel. Perhaps the only disadvantage of wireless models is their dependence on rechargeable batteries, which often need to be recharged or replaced. At the same time, the device itself informs the owner about the battery level, which, of course, is a plus.

Where to put the wires

The situation is much more serious when installing wired models. And although Experts recommend combining this procedure with the implementation repair work, since the wiring, most likely, will either have to be masked or laid in the body of the wall into the channel formed after it has been shredded.

Another disadvantage of wired thermostats is the need to allocate a separate room or a significant space in the house for placing the device. Since, according to the instructions, the correctness of their work may depend on the presence of sufficient free space.

It is also highly undesirable to install it near household, third-party climate control equipment and heating appliances, as well as in places where direct sunlight will fall on the device.

The process of connecting the thermostat, in principle, is not difficult. It is enough to follow the instructions drawn up by the manufacturer of the boiler and the thermostatic device.

About the mechanical thermostat

An important point, who have chosen for their home more durable and reliable mechanical thermostat, must remember that this device does not need to be connected to the mains and batteries. However, in the course of work on its connection, it will also not be possible to avoid fiddling with wires. But in this case, we are talking about wires that provide communication between the device and controlled climate technology.

The mechanical thermostat is connected to the boiler with a 2-wire connection.

The video shows how to connect the Ballu BMT-1 thermostat.

About the specifics of the setting

After you have successfully connected new equipment, you need to configure it, during which you can set the desired parameters, including the ability to:

  • Heating, and in some cases, air conditioning in the room;
  • Determination of the optimal delay period for the operation of the thermostat sensors (a window open for a short time or, conversely, the heat flow from the switched on hair dryer can “mislead” the device’s sensors, but turning on the response delay function will avoid errors;
  • Setting the temperature fluctuation step. That is, choosing a step of 1 degree means that the thermostat will turn the boiler on or off when the air temperature changes by 1 o C.
  • Definition of maximum comfortable temperatures. Some devices allow you to program the temperature regime depending on the time of day or day of the week (for example, on weekdays, when there is no one at home, you can lower the air temperature by several degrees, providing fuel savings, a couple of hours before the inhabitants of the house return, the device will turn on , will adjust the temperature until it rises to a comfortable level).

About compatibility issues

The method of connecting the thermostat to the boiler is largely determined by the choice of the thermostat model and can be performed both from the controller, from the battery, and from the network.

You can often meet the recommendations of boiler manufacturers when purchasing a simple or programmable thermostat for a gas boiler, focus on the boiler manufacturer and its recommendations. In principle, this advice is worth heeding, although, having looked through the pages of numerous forums where the issues of connecting climate equipment are discussed, one can often come across the opinion that, for the most part, products from different brands “get along” perfectly without conflict.

But the parameter that is really worth considering when deciding to buy a temperature sensor for a heating boiler in a regular climate or household appliances or an online store is the area of ​​​​the room heated by the boiler and the most preferred temperature regime.

TOP thermostats 2017–2018

Having studied the opinions of consumers and analyzed the information of several reputable online publications that annually compile rating lists of the most discussed models of climate equipment, it is easy to conclude that thermostats of such brands as are popular:

Bosch

At the same time, the company believes that the best thermostat for a Bosch gas boiler is, of course, Bosch. And, although there is so much information on the network about a successful symbiosis climate technology from this manufacturer with thermostats from other companies. However, for example, the Bosch software digital thermostat definitely deserves attention. The model is equipped with a digital display, has a temperature sensor calibration, has backup power options. The appliance can adjust the room temperature according to the time of day and the days of the week.

The video details the Bosch EMS series regulators.

Ariston

Also, when choosing a room thermostat for an Ariston gas boiler, you should pay attention to the thermostats offered by this Italian company. Among them, you can also find models that can program the required temperature regime not only for the week ahead, but also for any hour of the upcoming week. There are also less complex, but cheaper options that “know how” to set the desired temperature regime for the next 24 hours. However, the availability of hourly programming helps homeowners solve a lot of problems, including saving gas and electricity.

We offer owners of Ariston boilers to take a closer look at the Sensys control panel.

Advantages:

  • full system control via bridgenet® protocol;
  • easy setup/management of system parameters;
  • temperature control;
  • display of parameters of the solar system (if connected);
  • display of energy audit report (kW), solar system performance, reduction of CO2 emissions, hot water storage;
  • electronic room temperature sensor;
  • easy-to-manage daily and weekly programming of the heating mode;
  • easy-to-use daily and weekly programming DHW mode(in case of connecting an external boiler to a single-circuit boiler).

Protherm

This company also recommends connecting the thermostat to the Proterm gas boiler only when using "native" models. There are a number of reasons for this. For example, thanks to a special eBus switching bus, the temperature controller can control the modulation gas burner. Thermostats from other manufacturers cannot be connected in this way to the Proterm boiler. In addition, on the display of some models from Protherm, you can see not only the set operating modes of the boiler, but also the error codes that occur. In addition, the system, if necessary, is able to restart the boiler itself. In this way, the temperature of the boiler is regulated.

Buderus

Connecting a room thermostat to the Buderus gas boiler will also create less problems, if we are talking about a device manufactured by the same company. Moreover, the developers have provided a simple and intuitive interface for the device.

Programmable room thermostat Simple MMI 7 Days – with communication via OpenTherm™ protocol. Designed for complete boiler control and comfortable room temperature control

RQ

If you managed to purchase a room thermostat rq10, connecting to a boiler of the same brand is not difficult. Moreover, the quality of this technique is rarely satisfactory.

Ferroli

Room thermostat for gas boiler Ferroli very successful development of the Italian company.

Baxi

The thermostat for the Baxi gas boiler has also become a trend. It is easy to install and manage, also featuring an intuitive adjustment system and providing significant savings to home owners.

Mechanical room thermostat BAXI used to determine the room temperature and transmit data to the boiler, providing feedback. Regulates room temperature from 8°С to 30°С

conclusions

The thermostats of listed companies successfully help to solve problems such as:

  • the problem of clocking the gas boiler and pump (unreasonably frequent switching on and off of devices);
  • setting the optimal thermal regime by day and hour;
  • simplification of the maintenance process of the heating device;
  • setting fine adjustments.

All these features will provide comfort in any home and good mood its inhabitants.

Crap! what kind of village, what kind of electricity is missing? Where is it written that in a settlement where there is no electricity at all?

You are like small children, that you need to chew everything verbatim.

"Well, call the unreasonable dad, that's why we are here. And what is the forum strictly for specialists?

"Well, it is understood that at some point there is no electricity. Temporarily not, periodically not, power outages, a drunk electrician hanged himself on a pole, the dam burst, they turned it off for non-payment, local bastards stole the wires. Is that clear?

And where does it have to do with the villages with Ilyich's bulbs, if the conversation was generally on a third-party topic. "Heard a ringing, but did not understand where he was." The conversation was about installing an electrically dependent wireless thermostat on a non-volatile boiler. And the question was specific, when there is no electricity,

"I don't remember what"

And not questions about the biography of the rural hinterland or housing and communal services in some abstract village. What did you even want? To assert oneself or to introduce some new idea into the controversy?
Installing a non-volatile boiler does not mean a constant lack of electricity in the house, but a periodic one, but such a periodic one that it’s already sick of it. And there is neither desire nor money to spend money on a third-party source of electricity. So they make a non-volatile (gravitational) heating system with the installation of a non-volatile gas boiler.

Why do you think so? The reasons are different. Mine: built a house a long time ago. Then the EC was the only possible one. And now everything suits me very much

"You can pervert and put a circulator on the bypass at the outlet of the boiler. There is electricity-forced circulation, no-natural. But I wonder how such a chip will work with an external electro-dependent wireless thermostat. Leave the batteries alone. The receiver is powered either from the mains (to the socket) or through the same wires through which the control signal passes from the board to it. The electricity was turned off and the boiler simply did not start. The control circuit is open. "

So what? It's OK. In winter, our electricity is turned off very rarely and no more than an hour

"But a special wired room thermostat with gold-plated contacts has electricity, no electricity."
And here is the question?

Room regulator PROTHERM membrane with gold-plated contacts (TLO) 230V, 50Hz 1568
Article: 36426

Slovakia

"He was made for this boiler.
And now pay attention - gilded. To control the boiler remotely by room temperature we are in a circuit (in a gap) of a multiple thermocouple and install a thermostat. So even a simple potential-free thermostat that does not have gold-plated contacts can give out such resistance, especially at the moment of switching, that a signal of 820 mV from a multiple thermocouple will clearly not be enough to overcome it. Consider the circuit open.
By the way, all thermostats installed in the boiler also have gold-plated contacts and for this very reason. Switching should be of high quality, and losses should be minimal.
Well, tired of just painting the same things a hundred times. "

This is clear. Tired. Tired. HAPPENS. WOULD NOT ANSWER.

Therefore, only specifics are given out, and the questioner begins to be smart, taking the question he asked in a completely different direction. Well, they don't get it. specific example, he needs the issue to be covered volumetrically, in space and time.
So

Well, how else? Why would I ask then? I'm not always fond of heating.

The room thermostat of the heating boiler is a device that has been on the market for several years. Every year these devices are only being improved, and today you can already find models that allow you to control the boiler without getting up from your favorite sofa. Such devices are called wireless, which we will talk about in this article.

general information

The wireless room thermostat is a device with which you can remotely control the temperature in the room. You can anywhere in the house, wherever you want. Moreover, you can install several of these devices around the house, which will be connected to each other and to the heating boiler.
There are two types of wireless room thermostats:
connected with wired thermostat
connected directly to the boiler

The former are, as it were, an addition to the main wired room thermostat. Such products are cheaper, but have a limited set of functions compared to products of the second type.
The latter are more that have a direct connection with the boiler. Usually they are produced by manufacturers of the boilers themselves, and are intended for specific models. Although there are universal devices.

The principle of operation of a wireless room thermostat is quite simple. The thermostat has a radio transmitter that transmits a signal to a wired device or to a boiler where a radio is installed. Using the buttons on the wireless device, you set the desired temperature in the building. Your signal is transmitted to the boiler, which adjusts the draft damper accordingly in order to achieve the required heat output from the heating appliances in the house, and thus you get the desired indoor climate.

Most Popular Models
