Remote control system for heating a country house, cottage or cottage. Thermostat ZOTA Control panel (remote control) of the electric water heater PU EVT-I1 - “Too lazy to lift your butt and flood the boiler? Buy a remote control and it will control the heat in your home

I already wrote.

It is heated with wood and coal, but when there is no one at home, or mother laziness attacks, we turn on IT, the Zota remote control. Manufacturer Krasnoyarsk Energokomplekt.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find the receipt, only the warranty card and instructions. The cost 2 years ago was about 3,000 rubles. And now, I looked at about 4000 rubles.

Here is our remote control.

It has two indicators - Network, - Heating, two rotary switches - water, - air, and three heating switches (since there are three heating elements in the boiler). The connection diagram and details are indicated in the instructions.

Voltage from the stabilizer is supplied to the remote control, and the second output goes to the boiler.


to heating elements.

Since we have set the temperature of water and air, we also have the corresponding sensors.

We have an air sensor installed on the wall in the first corridor.

We did not install a water sensor, because... The remote control was purchased after the boiler was installed.

In fact, it is inserted into the hole in the boiler water jacket plug, which is located opposite the pipe outlet (a plug with a special hole for the boiler was sold separately). And since we had already started the heating and all our plugs were dead, we didn’t change anything. We didn't really need him. Due to the low voltage of the electrical network, we cannot turn on all the heaters at the boiler (maximum two), but usually we use one heater. It heats the water to 40-50 degrees, it is not dangerous and comfortable in the house.

But if you have Normal voltage in your electrical system. network, it is very important to connect this sensor, at least to the pipe leaving the boiler. Wrapped in thermal foil. So that the boiler has a limit not only on the air temperature, but also on the water (so that there is no overheating above 80).

We tested our remote control (or rather the operation of the sensors) with boiling water and a warm fan)))) but there was nothing to do.

We turned it on, set the temperature to 23, the boiler turned on, then we heated the air sensor, and it turned off the remote control, the heating stopped. Then they blew cold air on the sensor and it turned on, then they checked the water sensor (having previously set it to a temperature of 60 degrees), lowered it into boiling water, and it turned off the remote control.

But the real happiness was when it all worked in tandem with the boiler. You go to work, come back, the house is warm and you don’t need to do anything (people who live with stoves will understand me), at night it’s the same.

This remote control can be used on sauna stoves, the meaning is the same, but with the water sensor everything is different.

The capabilities of devices for remote heating control are becoming more and more advanced every year (and what about the year - almost every month!). Smartphone app developers try to make them easy to use and easy to understand, even unprepared people. Let us briefly list only the main capabilities of such systems that support:

  • normal operating mode, when the set temperature is maintained throughout the house;
  • zonal mode, when different rooms can have individual temperatures;
  • preventing defrosting of the heating system (freezing of pipes) during the cold season when you are away from your home country house or dachas;
  • the ability to turn on the boiler in advance, for example, you need to warm up a country house when you plan to visit it on weekends or holidays;
  • always be aware of your work autonomous heating and, if necessary, diagnose it;
  • temporary mode, in which at different times during the day the house can maintain its own thermal regime with a significant reduction in material costs for fuel, for example, you can adjust the boiler to low power(respectively, for low fuel consumption) when going to work or on business, and turn on the normal mode before returning.

Remote heating control means that any of these modes, as well as specific room temperature values, are changed using mobile communications, or heating is controlled via the Internet.
This approach is part of the ideology of creating a “smart home”, what does it entail further development everyone engineering systems home in order to ensure ease of use and create the most comfortable conditions accommodation.

Which heating system can be controlled remotely?

In country houses and cottages they are currently most often used two-pipe systems With forced circulation coolant: circulation pump pumps 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 coolant flow, and also a combination various devices to the information network

Weather-compensated heating control

Today it is considered the most promising. In such systems, in addition to the sensor room temperature An external air temperature meter is also used. In principle, a weather-dependent heating controller will work with one external sensor, but using two allows you to achieve more accurate mode maintenance and even implement self-adaptation of the system to specific temperature changes: if it gets colder outside, then the temperature of the coolant in the system increases in advance, if it gets warmer - then it decreases in advance. In addition to saving fuel, this reduces the inertia of the system, which increases its efficiency and also provides additional cost reduction. One of the basic points of weather-sensitive heating control can be used at a temperature of plus twenty degrees - at which the coolant temperature is taken equal to the ambient temperature, and the heating is actually turned off. It is also necessary to take into account zonal regulation temperature, i.e. if, for example, there is a gathering in one of the rooms a large number of people, due to which it has become hotter, then the system detects a local increase in temperature relative to the one set by the weather heating regulator, and makes corrections in this zone.
In general, serious battles broke out on the Internet about - Is it worth using weather-sensitive automation at all or is it money thrown away? In short, the opinion of our specialists, confirmed, by the way, by reviews from numerous clients, is unequivocal - yes, it’s worth it, but not in all cases. And in which ones? Answer

Types of remote heating 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, a Wi-Fi router and an Internet network are required.
  • using a GSM heating control module. A special GSM module with a cellular operator SIM card is required.

Remote control of the boiler room using mobile GSM

What to do if the wired Internet is in country house No? How can you control the heating in this case?

Yes, very simply - using a special GSM module and, of course, mobile phone. In fact, the GSM module plays the role of your personal assistant - you called it, gave a command, for example, to heat it hotter by a certain time in advance - and the whole family will arrive in a warm and cozy home. Or, on the contrary, you forgot in the morning, leaving for work, to turn down the boiler power - no question, you can do it right from work, via the Internet or directly from your smartphone while you are still getting to work.
A GSM module is a compact device with its own SIM card from any operator (it is important that it provides reliable signal reception in a given area), allowing 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 produces wide range GSM modules for remote control heating boilers, including multifunctional controllers that provide control of the most complex heating systems.
You can buy it in the appropriate section on our website. GSM heating control

Depending on the settings made, your phone will receive either short SMS notifications with various information and instructions for changing the settings of the heating boiler, or 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, iOS, and Windows Phone), which allows direct remote control of almost all parameters of the heating boiler.
A GSM heating control module is essentially a computer connected to external sensors and has the ability to change the operating modes of the heating system. Naturally, the module must be located in the area of ​​reliable reception of mobile operators.

The GSM heating control module can operate in several modes:

  • automatic, when, based on signals from installed sensors, the controller supports specified modes according to a given program;
  • SMS heating control, when the heating system is controlled by sending SMS. In this case, when new data arrives, for example about room temperature, the controller accepts it for execution and begins to support it automatically;
  • warning, by sending alarm messages about the current condition of the house (gas leak, break in the water supply system, etc.);
  • remote control of other devices connected to the GSM module (watering, lighting, alarm, etc.).

GSM – heating control allows you to remotely:

  • receive room temperature reports;
  • receive notifications about the current state of heating equipment;
  • change the operating mode of the system, increasing or decreasing the temperature, including separately in each room.

Heating control is not limited to these functions. In principle, any heating system can be converted into a remote one. To do this, it must have an automatic operating mode, and a special GSM controller must be connected to it to control the heating and communicate with the subscriber.

Is this not enough for you? Then look at the capabilities of multifunctional GSM controllers, for example: ZONT H-1000 or ZONT H-2000 The devices are complex and require professional knowledge during installation and configuration, so installation requires only highly qualified specialists - contact our company, we have them!

Remote control of the boiler using a set of equipment with an Internet gateway

Now let’s consider the option of remote heating control, if your country house or dacha has the Internet and, naturally, a Wi-Fi router (aka router).
Everything is much simpler here - you can look at the capabilities of the devices proposed below and forever forget about worries about the state of the heating system of your home.

Salus IT500 provides control and adjustment of operating parameters in a maximum of 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 the Internet router (router).

Possibilities for controlling the heating system using a set of equipment with the Salus iT500 Internet gateway:

  • control of heating modes only (boiler and, if necessary, pump);
  • control of multiple heating zones;
  • control of heating and hot water supply of a country house.
  • maintaining different temperatures in different rooms, schedule temperature conditions by days, hours and minutes
  • 6 preset heating modes on delivery
  • heating control hot water, automatic control modes, including energy-saving and vacation mode.
  • a unique system for connecting 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 for electrical wiring. The room thermostat for the heating boiler is programmed for daily, weekly or 5+2 operating modes. The thermostat screen and remote heating control apps display current state boiler, current and set temperature. Setting the operating schedule can be done from the thermostat panel, through an Internet browser or using a mobile application.
The thermostat has modern design, is highly reliable and safe when used.
Using additional Salus Controls equipment, control is possible, including remote control, warm floors, gas and electric boilers, oil systems heating, as well as almost any other heating systems and devices.
Remote management does not require a dedicated external IP address, the entire system works perfectly on any mobile internet(Yota, Megafon, Beeline, etc.), it is also possible to control from computers and mobile devices on operating systems Android and iOS.

What to do if there is no wired Internet in the house, but you have already purchased Wi-Fi internet thermostat?

Most likely, the dacha has coverage from mobile operators, isn’t it? So you also have the Internet! Just buy a Wi-Fi router with a USB port and, in addition to it, a 3G or 4G modem. Install a SIM card of any type into the modem mobile operator, providing a reliable signal in the area where your home is located. You 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 your dacha remotely!

If the iT500 seems a little expensive for some, the company offers more budget solution- internet thermostat Salus RT310i
The thermostat has somewhat reduced capabilities compared to its “big brother”, but may turn out to be a worthy replacement for it, thanks to the lower price of the kit. Externally, the RT310i looks more modest compared to the first-class high-tech design of the iT500; it lacks touch controls, but in terms of functionality the models are almost identical. Except that while the iT 500 is capable of controlling 2 zones of heating or cooling, the RT310i can only control one zone.

Missing the iT500's features? No problem - Salus iT600 can do everything and more!

Remote control of complex heating systems

The Polish company Tech Controllers, which produces a wide range of controllers with remote control capabilities, is gaining an increasingly large share in this market segment.
The Tech controllers themselves are multifunctional devices that are the main, basic part of the system, which can remotely control almost any complex heating systems using additional modules. There are a lot of possibilities, so using an example we will only consider the possibilities for remote control.

Example of installation of Tech Controllers equipment

In the photo used for installation:
1. Controller Tech ST-409n- a multifunctional device designed to control a central heating system, providing:
interaction with three wired room regulators
interaction with wireless room thermostat
smooth control of three mixing valves
DHW pump control
return temperature protection
weather-compensated control and weekly programming
possibility of connecting the ST-65 GSM module for remote heating control from a GSM smartphone
possibility of connecting the ST-505 module, which allows remote control of the boiler via the Internet.
ability to control two additional valves using additional modules ST-61v4 or ST-431 N
Possibility of control additional equipment, For example garage doors, lighting or sprinkler, etc.

Various Tech modules can be used for remote control, it all depends on the specific needs of the owner. For example:

What to do if the heating system is so individual that none of the above solutions can fully meet the owner’s control needs?
There are no hopeless situations! Most often, the customer himself simply does not understand (and should not!) all the possibilities modern systems remote heating control. It is really difficult for an untrained 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 capabilities of controlling heating systems - their task is to install the system, but they don’t care how often you run around the house (or to the boiler room) and turn various valves to ensure constant thermal comfort .
