Smart home heating control. features of the heating system from MiMismart. What kind of heating can it be?
Is it possible to make your home “smarter”? If you are familiar with microprocessor technology and know how to program, this will not be difficult for you. The main thing is to purchase interface devices with the processor and find out their data exchange protocols. First we need to understand what we want from our home?
Working with lighting
When we arrive at , the lights should turn on. First - in the hallway, then - in the room or kitchen - depending on where you need to go. To do this, you need to purchase not only switches that can be controlled electronically, but also a photocell that will record the illumination of the premises. If we have a window in the hallway, then why do we need to turn on the light during the day? And there are certainly windows in the room or kitchen, and when the sun is shining brightly, turning on the lamp will be unnecessary.
But heating control is not only about comfort, but also about environmental friendliness and energy saving. Resources are dwindling, energy prices are rising, and ecological problems multiply. Because of this, it is important to closely monitor your electricity consumption.
The system learns how fluctuations in outside temperature affect the inside temperature. This ensures that the house does not feel cold unless the temperature suddenly drops sharply. This saves energy because there is no need to increase or decrease the heating output. Constant temperature= increased comfort. The system manages to work with both electric heating, and with underfloor heating or steam radiators. It learns how long heating can increase the temperature. It is ideal for renovations as it can be easily integrated into existing system heating. Charging device, control panel convectors, heating pipes, radiators or underfloor heating and other types of heaters. It is equipped with thermostats and sensors for indoor and outdoor temperatures. It has sensors that monitor whether a window in the room is open and therefore the heating should be turned off.
- Intelligent heating control.
- The system is able to quickly increase the temperature from the energy saving level.
Under what conditions should the light turn on?
- The room should be initially dark.
- Someone must go in there.
To track this moment, you need not only a photocell, but also a motion sensor. They are performed using ultrasound or infrared rays. It is difficult to understand which one is more effective. Both of them, in principle, can work erroneously, so in the program algorithm for the main processor you need to specify which signal from the motion sensor should trigger the switch. It shouldn’t react to a flying fly, but it should respond to a person. The fly flies past the sensor quickly. Its dimensions are insignificant. A person moves slower and his volume is large. Using these criteria, you can track which object is located in the room.
Comfort without compromise in every room
Last winter we switched to smart temperature control. With smart temperature control, I don't have to do anything. Each room in the house has an individual and precise temperature different time. The bathroom is warm when we swim. The bedroom has another temperature that day when we sleep and when we get up. If no one is home, the temperature will automatically decrease. But if we go to bed later than usual, the heating in the living room remains on. Smart regulation knows when to start heating.
Scheme of the "Smart Home" system
If you want the light in the house to accompany your pet, then you need to adjust the program to the movement pattern of a cat, dog, or iguana and turtle. It is clear that the last two pets move slower than the first two. Cats and dogs are warm-blooded animals, unlike turtles and iguanas, and if we are working with an infrared sensor, we need to take this into account: it will quickly detect animals rather than reptiles.
Goodbye thermostat or simple controls
She also knows the difference between a weekday, a weekend or a holiday. Complicated thermostat adjustments or adjusting the correct head position are a thing of the past. Once a year, simply switch from heating to cooling and vice versa. Wireless electronic heater for heating.
It doesn't matter if you have radiators, underfloor heating or heating infrared radiation. Do you get warmth from heating installation, gas boiler or, for example, heat pump. You don't have to worry about complex settings based on outside temperature, rise time, etc. Intelligent heating learns on its own and adjusts its behavior for each room separately. You can also deal with combinations of resources.

Working with heating
If you have one in your house, then this is an excellent object for building a model." smart home" Usually, modern boilers can support themselves set temperature, have control panels and even, in some cases, temperature sensors located in heated rooms. It remains to transfer such a boiler to external processor control.
Everything works in a smart home. Previously, when we opened the window, the heating flooded. So we had to roll our heads back and forth. Or, during ventilation, it was hot, so it was another hour. Smart heating simply turns off. An even better team is formed using shading technology. When this is clear, it is used for heating solar energy. However, if it overheats, it will shade. Cost savings studies show that up to 55% of costs can be saved by switching to an intelligent control system.
What you will need for this:
- receive signals from temperature sensors and transmit them to the processor;
- remotely set the desired boiler temperature to ensure the desired temperature in the rooms;
- possibility of programming the boiler operation depending on the time of day.
Did we forget to set vacation mode? A question that doesn't bother us. Or vice versa, when we return home earlier. Whenever and wherever we are, we can easily set the operating mode or impose earlier. Not to mention we have control and insight into everything else in the smart home. We forgot the window and we're leaving?
I have a recording of heating statistics. The system also controls the operating time of the boiler for maintenance. It can work with pumps and other equipment. This will remind you, for example, that you need to replace the filter. A long period without moving your head does not succeed. Although residential buildings in the Czech Republic are gradually being insulated, many of them, due to the lack of volume regulation, are leaking a large number of heat.
Heating system "Smart Home"
There are many articles about smart homes, which lower the indoor temperature at night to +15°C. Think about it, could you sleep in a room when it’s so cold? Most likely no. Doctors say that the most comfortable temperature for sleep – +18–19°С, and for wakefulness – +22°С. But all this is individual. Some people need a higher temperature to sleep. It depends on blood circulation. For example, older people with a thin build may often feel cold. Obese people, on the contrary, feel hot, so they need to choose a slightly lower temperature. If your home is smart, then it should serve you, and you don’t have to learn to sleep “in the cold.” Therefore, write a program for each member of your family and manage your boilers and batteries.
Each of us is accustomed to using thermostatic valves to regulate temperature and internal temperature. From a regulatory point of view, it does not need to be sufficient - it does not, for example, look at the heat leaking from the stairs or the opening of windows.
It not only works with external temperature, but also takes into account internal and external thermal coefficients. This results in maximum energy consumption. IN modern houses it is used on 150 different electronic and remote controlled devices. Each device is controlled by its own control - switch, remote control remote control, motion sensor, timer or touch screen. This way, neither device knows what else or what the user wants.
IMPORTANT! You need to be careful when heating your home sauna. It should only be done under human supervision! No matter how smart your home is, when it comes to extreme temperatures, they need to be taken under personal control.
Working with doors and gates
Can open yard or garage doors, as well entrance doors, which will immediately be locked behind you. This requires gate motors, motion sensors, photocells, locks, electronically controlled. Typically these are magnetic locks, which are successfully used in intercom systems. All this is on sale, so you need to find all those sensitive and executing elements that can exchange data with your processor with a protocol that it understands.
This is not very reasonable, and not at all convenient. There is no more complex management of island systems. Each device knows what the other is doing and provides easy control and intelligent automation. Thanks to this, a single motion sensor or switch can control not only lights, but also alarms, sound, ventilation, heating, air conditioning and other devices. Ease of Management. Thanks to the so-called scenes you will always feel comfortable. For example, you can work with night lighting by turning off lights, removing blinds, activating an alarm, lowering the temperature in the house, turning off a device in standby mode, or muting the sound.
"Smart home" on the gate
When creating a program, do not forget that when there is a power outage, doors and gates are moved to the “open” position. It would be a good idea to combine gates and doors with sensors fire alarm. At the moment they are triggered, the gates and doors should go into the “open” state. At the same time, do not forget about mechanical latches that will protect you from intrusion by intruders at a time when you do not have electricity.
He knows exactly what to do in this moment, and it makes your home smart. For example, if you are not at home, this will provide you with many things: turn off the device in standby mode, reduce the temperature, protect yourself from fire, use protective technology when more high temperatures. And much more!
New technologies are growing, and the house is growing with them. From using conventional buttons to control lighting, blinds to intelligent control of home heating. For example, with a small green box you can integrate a photovoltaic system and other complex systems.
How to work with the processor
When you start writing algorithms for the processor, you may encounter the fact that its speed is not enough. This can happen for various reasons:
- at some point you will want to expand the system by installing, for example, water sensors;
- you will have a desire to make more gradations to control the temperature in the house;
- you will want to install burglar alarm, integrated into your “smart home”.
In a digital home, everything can be easily combined into smart system and, above all, at a reasonable price. Smart Home, also known as Smart Home and Home Control System, allows you to have sophisticated, simple and intuitive control over everything possible devices in your home from one place, automatic regulation, visualization of individual processes or monitoring and control of energy consumption, which leads to significant cost savings.
Devices that can be controlled automatically by an intelligent control system include, for example, heating, gas and electric boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, heat recovery, pool heaters and, of course, controlling lights, sockets, shutters, security systems and other systems in your home. An intelligent control system will provide you with complete comfort and significantly reduce the cost of your home.

These are just approximate reasons. But no matter how much you want to load your processor, it has its own speed, its own number of inputs and outputs, etc. And if you can’t do anything about the number of outputs and inputs - you can’t increase them, then you can easily and elegantly figure out the speed of operation: study assembler. If you write your algorithm not in a programming language top level, and in those commands that are understood by this particular processor that you have chosen, it will perceive and execute the program several times faster.
The system is designed according to the needs and wishes of the user as a functional unit with coordinated downstream professions, so that it meets the most stringent requirements at a technical level and at the same time is cost-effective.

Controls lighting without the increased cost of add-on and other individual technology controllers. Combined low-cost information blocks costly power-hungry devices at a costly price without the occupants of the home. It is not true that the cost of a smart installation is many times higher than standard wiring.
An intelligent home will ensure that all operational parts of your home are controlled without the need for the occupants of the home. It simply expands with other peripherals without requiring complex cabling around the house. Individual actions are performed by an intelligent home not only on the basis of direct user instructions, but also on the basis only of external circumstances. It can pull down the blinds if the sun shines directly into the windows, heating up the house if the outside temperature drops below a set value, or the lights will go out in the house after a certain hour if it detects no movement in the house.
Possibilities of the heating system in the “Smart Home”
By ordering from us heating control in a Smart Home, you will thereby receive many advantages and opportunities:
- Individual thermoregulation in each room. Depending on the purpose of the room, the appropriate temperature threshold will be set, thanks to which it will be ensured maximum comfort in the kitchen, bedroom, nursery, office, pantry or boiler room.
- Control of room temperature at a certain time of day/season of the year. Wherein heating batteries in a “Smart Home” will depend on the outside temperature.
- Monitor and adjust the temperature in rooms and other areas of your home thanks to built-in temperature sensors. You can control the operation of heating equipment manually or by installing automatic scenarios.
- Safety of the heating system and timely response to emergency situations. In addition, you have the opportunity remote control heating in the “Smart Home”, which means that in cases of failure of modules, violation of the integrity of the electrical heating cable or pipes in your home, they will automatically be de-energized or turned off, and you will immediately receive a notification about an emergency.
- Saving on electricity. So, for example, once setting in "Smart home" heating controlled via the Internet, you will be able to: save on heating bills every month and thereby soon compensate cash, which you will spend on purchasing special equipment.
Integration of the heating system into the Smart Home
By installing a heating system in a Smart Home, you can easily control the individual operating mode of each heating device, and thereby save a lot on energy consumption. Having configured the control in "Smart home" heating via SMS, you will have the opportunity to remotely monitor and regulate work heating devices in your home. If, for example, you are at work, but upon your return you plan to visit the home sauna, you can warm it up by dialing a simple combination from your smartphone. In addition, you can set the appropriate system parameters for the period you are away from home and then the heating system will operate in economical mode.
An intelligent home is capable of managing all necessary activities in the home in a predictable, cost-effective and effective way, using information about the input elements. It saves energy, optimizes the operating parameters of sub-technologies and at the same time maintains living comfort. Everything works alone, nothing needs to be checked or configured.
An intelligent home can work with multiple heat sources. It responds to conditions in and outside the home and forms the basis for comprehensive home management and operation. It is able to fully provide operation and control of heating, electrical appliances, swimming pool, sauna, as well as remote readings of energy consumption. An intelligent home effectively cooperates with security and video surveillance systems.
