Smart heating controls are an increasingly popular option that many of our customers use as a way of controlling their heating at home. But what exactly are smart controls, and what benefits do they bring?
Smart heating controls are a control system that uses modern technology to allow you to have greater control over your heating at home. They are an alternative to older systems where users would only have the option of switching the heating/hot water on or off.
To use Smart heating controls, you must have a Smart thermostat installed into your home. This thermostat then connects your boiler to your smartphone via the internet, giving you the ability to control your heating and hot water with your smartphone. This means you can set, adjust and turn off the heating when you're at home and when you're not.
Smart controls have many functions that the old timed on-and-off controllers don’t offer. The most prominent of these functions is the ability to control your boiler directly from your smart device (e.g. phone or tablet). This allows for a much easier way for you to change your heating and hot water settings and the ability to do so on-the-go.
Another feature of smart heating controls is the ability to use voice control with smart speakers like Alexa. This provides a simplified way of using the Smart features for those who aren’t as confident using the smart device set-up.
