How to transfer room temperature using the Internet. Temperature control in the country: actual implementation methods. How a gsm thermostat works

Quite often, a situation arises when it is necessary to organize temperature monitoring. This can be useful for remote objects: greenhouses, warehouses, cellars, etc.

To solve such problems on the market, there are many different solutions from serious industrial to household. We will not consider the first ones, since they are difficult to implement, expensive, and redundant for everyday tasks. Simpler solutions either use an outdated and not perfect from the point of view of security technology for transferring data via SMS, or they are quite expensive, not convenient, and, most importantly, have paid web services.

Therefore, we have created our own project, thanks to which each of you will be able to organize remote temperature monitoring.

Our solution is budgetary and consists of two components:

• Kit-constructor for creating a transmitting device
• Free web service for remote monitoring and control of temperature

Set-constructor "LS Monitoring"

The LS Monitoring Kit is based on the Arduino platform, which makes it easy to learn.

Generally speaking, a constructor can be used to make a remote control system for any object, supplementing it with the necessary sensors. For this we have released.

But the teaching example in these lessons is the creation of a remote temperature control system.

Although the designer is for educational purposes, a device for transferring temperature can be assembled from it simply by instructions, without going into theoretical details.

A heater (for example, an electric oven) or a cooler (for example, a fan) can also be connected to the resulting device, so that you can not only view the temperature, but also influence it remotely.

It's very simple, because you don't need to solder anything when assembling the constructor! Everything is assembled using special connectors and wires for prototyping.

Remote temperature control web application "LS Cloud"

The second component of the temperature monitoring system is the web application.

Our LS Cloud app is free and does not need to be used with our construction kit.

If you are able to develop a device for transferring temperature yourself, you can use the capabilities of LS Cloud as a web interface for viewing data. You can read how to transfer data to our service.

LS Cloud has the following features:

Add unlimited devices

Setting 4 temperature thresholds for alarm

The device can be assigned upper and lower warning and alarm temperature thresholds

User notification by Email and SMS when the temperature goes over the set thresholds and device alarms

When the temperature exceeds the set limits, the system generates warning and alarm messages and sends them to the user via SMS and Email.

Remote device control

As already mentioned, the device assembled from our construction kit has a relay for connecting any device (for example, a heater or, conversely, a cooler) to maintain the temperature within the desired range.

Through the "LS Cloud" application, you can remotely turn on or off this device.

Display of temperature on a graph for a selected period of time

LS Cloud provides storage of temperature data over a long period of time. The application builds a graph based on this data.

The user can arbitrarily scale the graph and view the temperature for any period of time.

Tracking the status of communication with a remote device and notifying the user if it is broken

Communication status is displayed as an antenna in front of each device

and in the device data view area on the right side of the screen

In the device settings, you can set the timeout time - the time during which the device must be guaranteed to contact the server.

For example, our device “knocks” on the server every three seconds. We set a timeout of 10 seconds. If during this time the device never got in touch, then something terrible happened to it.

If the signal strength is weak, you can increase the timeout time.

If the timeout is exceeded, the system notifies the user about the loss of communication with the device.

Server Event Logging

The application automatically keeps a log of all events and alarms in the system.

You can view the LS Cloud web application at. The password and login for accessing the test account are indicated on the main page of the application.

You can order the "LS Monitoring" construction kit.

Every person's dream is to provide maximum comfort and coziness in their home. And the first step on the way to the goal is to create the optimal temperature in the home - in a country house, dacha or apartment. Many people leave this function for themselves, controlling the readings of the thermometer and making changes in the operation of the heater (air conditioner). But there are several disadvantages here:

• firstly, such control requires constant attention, which is not always convenient and takes a lot of time;
• secondly, you can monitor the temperature only while you are inside the house (apartment). In the absence of the owner, there will be no one to do it.

For example, there are cases when a boiler malfunction led to defrosting of the heating system and the need for expensive repairs. At the same time, the owner found out about the problem too late, when the saving measures are already useless.

The best way out is to use a special gsm device that remotely monitors the temperature inside the room and notifies in a timely manner of a decrease in the parameter below (above) the permissible level. Informing, as a rule, takes place via SMS or a call to the owner's number. Today, they are widely used - they perform temperature control, power control and the ability to remotely control the load (heater, pump, light) extremely reliably.

Main functions

Modern gsm temperature control devices are part of a unique smart home system. Their main functions include:

• remote temperature control in any of the objects, for example, in an apartment, in a country house, in a country house. At the same time, you can use the gsm functions of the device all year round - both in the cold and hot seasons;
• heating system control and defrost protection. Timely installation of the system and receipt of relevant information via SMS, allows you to save the boiler and save the house from hypothermia;
• the ability to study graphs and parameters collected by each of the sensors over a certain time period (typical for most devices).

The temperature parameter is fixed by the device and transmitted via a gsm signal through a message (for each of the connected sensors). All that the owner needs is to set the minimum and maximum temperature limits, as well as program the phone numbers to which the notification will be made. When the temperature level goes beyond the set limits, the controller can turn on (turn off) the heating element or send a signal about cooling (excessive heating) of the house.

The smart gsm device allows the owner to query the current temperature at will. All that is required is to dial the number of the card installed in the gsm device, hang up and wait for the SMS message.

Remote control of temperature and its automatic regulation is an opportunity not only to maintain the set parameters at a certain level, but also to prevent the failure of an expensive heating system of a summer residence (house, apartment).

Review of popular devices

Against the background of the demand for remote temperature control devices, the supply is growing. Recently, a whole group of devices have appeared on the market, worthy of consumer attention.

GSM sockets

The simplest and most famous are GSM sockets - when choosing a model, first of all, pay attention to electrical safety and reliability of the design. Agree that it is absolutely unreasonable to entrust remote operation, and even more so the connection of the load, to an accidentally purchased device (even at a low price).

The most popular GSM sockets include the TelemetrikaT4 model from a Russian manufacturer. Reliable design, easy operation and Russian electrical safety certificate make it the best offer on the market.

Pole Thermo GSM

An autonomous temperature sensor will be useful to those who have no or unstable 220 V.

A capacious battery guarantees reliable operation throughout the winter season, and simple settings via SMS commands do not cause difficulties. The set includes 2 sensors for temperature control. Manufactured by Siberian Arsenal, Novosibirsk.

GSM thermometers

For those who are also interested in the possibility of remote control of the heating boiler, we will consider the following models:

• - the model has a screen for easy control, as well as control buttons for manual operation of the room thermostat. It is possible to switch loads up to 8 kW through a power relay unit.
• GSM thermometer allows you to control the temperature through free applications for iOS and Android devices. Has the ability to connect multiple temperature sensors.
• Signal XQ is a simple design and installation gsm device for controlling the temperature in your home. The device has a compact size. Despite the fact that a powerful filling with a unique "intelligence" is provided inside. A feature of the device is the presence of an accurate temperature sensor and a built-in battery. You can set only one parameter, upon reaching which an SMS message will be sent to the set phone number. In addition, the Signal XQ is able to promptly report a power outage, which plays an equally important role in ensuring the stability of the main devices. In the absence of external power, the device will be able to work offline for about a day;
• Sapsan PRO 5T is a device that allows you to control the temperature at the installation site. One sensor is installed inside the device, in which the upper and lower temperature ranges can be set. Upon reaching the set temperature limits, an SMS message is sent or a call is made to the owner. The device has one output, to which one electrical device can be connected, for example, a boiler. Sapsan PRO 5T provides the ability to program via a computer, which greatly simplifies the overall setup process;
• GSM-Climat, ZONT H-1 is a device capable of not only controlling the temperature inside the room, but also controlling the connected devices. In particular, you can set operating modes that allow you to turn on and off the equipment according to a specific schedule. At the request of the owner, the gsm system can be controlled through the global network or through dialing.

Outcome

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of gsm systems for remote control. With their help, you can not only learn about the excess (decrease) in the room temperature, but also ensure the stable operation of heating systems, for example, the same boiler. Using such a device in your home is a guarantee of a comfortable temperature and the ability to protect yourself from unforeseen expenses.

Remote control of the room temperature (remotely) is part of a modern heating system and a fire and security alarm installed in a country house.

GSM modules for temperature control and management

Devices that monitor and regulate the temperature regime (gsm alarms), both in summer cottages and in office, warehouse, industrial premises (server rooms, greenhouses, transformer rooms, granaries, freezers, etc.), are integrated into the general security system that controls access control, video surveillance and remote notification.

Automatic control of air temperature in rooms at a distance is performed using stationary or wireless temperature sensors. Digital information is sent to the control panel. Depending on the communication capabilities for the remote object, data transfer is carried out via an Internet connection or via SMS - by phone.

Temperature control devices - GSM alarms

The main task of a temperature alarm device installed in a country house is a remote multi-point control of the boiler and the air temperature in residential premises. Calculation of the number, installation and installation of electronic temperature sensors is carried out after examining the heating system in the country. The calculation takes into account the presence of additional fire and security equipment (motion sensors, fire detectors, gas and water leakage detectors) connected to the relay inputs of the alarm module.

Photo: Xital GSM expansion units

In case of insufficient power of the control panel, it is necessary to use equipment with a large number of control zones. Xital GSM produces expansion units that allow you to additionally get 8 control zones for connecting fire alarm, access control, CCTV systems, notifications about the operation of temperature relays of boilers, power surges, hot water status.

In production, GSM systems are used not only for energy-saving heating, but also for controlling ventilation and air conditioning processes, checking transformers and electric motors, temperature conditions in a greenhouse, a server room, a refrigerating chamber, a grain storage, and a laboratory. Programs for gsm monitoring and control of automation remotely, supplied by the manufacturer and easily installed on mobile devices.

GSM SMS alarm - remote temperature control

Technical means and equipment of wireless GSM SMS signaling allow organizing a remote control, measurement and regulation of temperature in large rooms. Sitting in a living room chair, through radio-controlled key fobs, buttons and remote controls associated with alarm units and air temperature sensors, the owner can exercise climate control anywhere in the house, regulate the temperature of the water in the pool and air in the sauna, turn on and off the security system, open entrance lock, etc. At the same time, the integrity of the interior is not violated, the original comfort and coziness remains in the heart of your home.

Cozy living room - the heart of the house

For the sake of comfort in your home, you can work hard, choosing exactly those interior items that will make the atmosphere in any room unique and inimitable. Among these products you can find unusual items that will complement the interior of any home, as well as traditional items like products for a family living room, cozy bedroom, and even for the kitchen. The main thing is to choose what you like.

Not only the impression of the room, but also the convenience of its use depends on how correctly you choose the furniture. Its design must be treated with all the attention available to you, because it is the real "face" of your home. It is here that those who do not linger at the entrance / hallway level get to, and it is she who creates the first impression of your home for guests.

How much furniture do you need for your living room?

The first thing you should think about when equipping living quarters in a house is how much free space you agree to allocate for furniture. If you are a supporter of minimalism, then you can limit yourself to:

• table
• sofa
• a pair of armchairs / chairs
• one or two pedestals.

If you are going to use the living room not only as a place for receiving guests, it would be appropriate to install several closets for storing clothes. This is a much more rational way to use space in the living room.

Decide on the style

How would you like to see the most comfortable place in your home? If your dream is made in high-tech style, choose furniture made of metal and glass. If you are a supporter of the classics, modular or cabinet furniture will suit you.

The case version is found in many houses and apartments. Such furniture is popular because it allows for regular rearrangements, changing the interior. However, the size of the cabinets remains unchanged.

Recently, more and more attention has been attracted by modular furniture, with all its advantages. But before you go to purchase it, decide on the set of elements that you consider necessary for the living room. The contents of wardrobes are increasingly being “moved” to sliding wardrobes, which are installed in the hallway, and sometimes even in the bedroom. You will most likely need a counter or cabinet for equipment, as well as a large dining table. But it will not fit in a small kitchen, so it is often installed in the living room. After all, this is a gathering place for the whole family! If you are especially limited in space, the folding option will do.

Quality and quality again

In order for the furniture to serve you for a long time, bringing pleasure from its use, it is necessary to choose quality products from good materials. Here you have three options:

• veneer - only the upper overlays are made of natural wood
• Chipboard is a lighter and more inexpensive material
• solid wood is the most reliable, durable and environmentally friendly type of materials.

Of course, when buying, you will have to focus not only on the advantages and disadvantages of materials, but also on your budget. However, once you make a good investment, you will provide your home with high-quality and reliable furniture for many years.

When choosing furniture for the living room, think over every detail of your future interior. After all, coziness and comfort are what should "meet" you in your own home, no matter what.

The cost of installing a GSM module in a country house is from 20 rubles. per m

The remote heating control system allows you to control the air parameters in a house or other object from a distance. Remote temperature monitoring and the ability to change it will suit the owners of country houses and summer cottages, where it is necessary to maintain a plus in winter, even if no one lives there. This significantly increases the service life of furniture, wallpaper, household appliances (there is no high humidity, etc.)

Remote room temperature control allows:

1. Prevent the temperature from dropping below zero in the event of a breakdown of the heating equipment - the property owner will learn about the emergency, so he will take action.
2. Saving energy resources, maintaining the lowest possible air parameters and warming up the house only for the arrival of the owners. Savings up to 50%!
3. Save the resource of expensive heating equipment by operating it most of the time in a gentle mode.

Types of heating remote control systems

There are two types of remote monitoring systems for object heating, differing in the way of transmitting information and commands:

• via the Internet;
• via GSM.

Let's consider these types in more detail.

GSM control

This is the simplest form of remote control of the heating system. Its main element is a GSM thermostat (also called a GSM module). Basically, it is a computer that provides:

1. Maintaining the values \u200b\u200bof room air parameters programmed into its memory, depending on the day of the week and the current time.
2. Sending information about the temperature and breakdowns of the heating system by sms messages or a call to the user's phone.
3. Reception of sms commands to change the heating operation mode and their execution.

The GSM thermostat has a controller that actually controls the heating equipment with connectors for connecting temperature sensors to it in the rooms and outside the house and the boiler (usually the portable sensors themselves are included in the thermostat delivery package) and one or more slots for SIM cards. In expensive models there is a socket for connecting an Internet cable to the thermostat to expand the system's capabilities. For example, organize dispatching, connect additional heating devices. The thermostat also has a GSM antenna to enhance the signal.

Remote control of the temperature of a country house via GSM is a common type of remote heating control. Its advantage is an affordable price and work without wired Internet in the house.

Disadvantages:

• limited functionality;
• you need to pay for mobile telephony.

Internet Control

The standard equipment of the system is as follows:

• an internet gateway that connects to your home router;
• thermostat with programmer;
• boiler radio control unit.

The owner of a country house (summer cottage, etc.), using a thermostat with a programmer, sets the heating operation for a week. The same thermostat transmits information about the current temperature via a Wi-Fi network through a router to an Internet gateway, which sends it via the WIRED Internet to a computer (tablet, smartphone) to the owner of the house. He can use commands (software installation is required) to correct the preset operating mode of the thermostat, which controls the boiler via its radio unit.

In the extended version, via the Internet, you can control the operation of several heating devices - a boiler, radiators, the "warm floor" system, etc. To do this, it is necessary to install the appropriate radio units on this equipment. To work, you need to install a special application on a PC, tablet or smartphone.

The advantage of such a system is the widest possible functionality:

• manage several heating devices;
• provide individual parameters for each room;
• providing complete information about the operation of heating;
• convenient reporting;
• the possibility of dispatching.

There are two minuses:

1. Technical - a wired Internet is required, which in many cases is problematic for country cottages and houses. You also need a router.
2. Financial - the system is more expensive than the control option via GSM.

Weather-compensated heating control

Regardless of how the remote control of the temperature in the country is organized - using the Internet or GSM, in both cases it is possible to organize weather-dependent control. This implies the formation of teams depending on the parameters of the external environment. For this, an external thermometer (sensor) is installed, connected to a GSM thermostat or a thermostat connected to the Internet.

Taking into account external factors saves energy resources for heating. The saving principle is simple. The smaller the temperature difference outside and inside the room, the less you need to heat the water in the heating circuit.

How to choose a GSM module

The main component of any remote heating control system is a thermostat or GSM module. There are a large number of models on the market with different prices depending on functionality and brand.

For an inexpensive option, choose models that have standard functions, which we wrote about above. More expensive GSM-modules allow programming the heating operation mode for a week.

Consider the number of sensor connectors. Their number ranges from two to ten.

The most expensive models have a connector for connecting an Internet cable, as well as additional sensors - motion, smoke, etc. That is, the system also has security functions.

Conclusion

A remote temperature control device using a GSM module or an Internet gateway is a modern and effective solution to the problem of energy efficiency in a heating system. The existing equipment allows in any case to perform remote temperature control in the house, regardless of the distance of the object and its location. As they say, there would be a desire. And the costs due to the constant rise in the cost of energy resources (electricity, natural gas, etc.) pay off very quickly. For example, when installing low-cost equipment based on a GSM-module, they can be closed even in a year.

In addition, remote monitoring of heating dramatically reduces the likelihood of large losses due to a leak in the system or its defrosting.

Remote heating control is convenient, modern, profitable!

Sometimes it is useful, and in some cases necessary, to find out the temperature in the house, in the country and, if necessary, to control it remotely :

Air temperature inside, in various rooms

Temperature of the liquid in the heating system (heating boiler)

The air temperature outside, suddenly you are in another city.

What is temperature?

Temperature is information in electronic form that must be transmitted over a distance. Of course, this can be done using gsm cellular communication using SMS or via the Internet, there are no other options, because you need to control and manage from anywhere.

Temperature Control Task Options

1. If the house has a full-fledged Internet with a wi-fi router, then there is no problem, you need to install a Temperature Controller with wi-fi. Through a mobile application of a smartphone or a program on a PC, you can receive all the necessary information, control, and, if necessary, control. In this case, there is no need to pay for additional SIM cards that are inserted into the thermostats.

2. Internet is not available everywhere. Therefore, a way out can be found in the use of gsm thermostats, control modules. There are many manufacturers of this equipment.

To know which one to choose, you need to understand how it works.

How does a gsm thermostat work?

Recently, this device has been singled out into a separate group due to its demand in the market. The beginning of everything was laid by the usual gsm alarm - a block to which you can connect various sensors: motion sensors, fire smoke detectors, gas leakage sensors, water leaks, including temperature sensors.

Now, having modified some program functions for this unit, the relay, having equipped it with a pair of thermometers, is positioned as a temperature control device, in particular of a boiler.

The principle of operation is quite simple:

We set the values \u200b\u200b(thresholds) of the temperature on it and we get:

Messages about temperature changes below or above a predetermined threshold in the form of SMS messages.

This turns on (closes the relays) associated with the heating gas boiler or freezer, whichever is required. A kind of climate control, just like in a car. The only difference is that we receive SMS notifications. Although all this can be done in manual mode (close the relay) using SMS commands.

How does a gsm thermostat work?

On average, the principle of operation is as follows:

It is possible to obtain information by sending a request (SMS command), a response comes with the temperature value from SMS

It is possible to receive the status in SMS once a day or automatically according to the schedule The notification function is pre-programmed, the temperature sensors are set to a certain temperature... The system calls or text you and informs, for example, that the temperature in the country has dropped below +5 degrees.

Thus, the principle of operation is the same for different manufacturers, but the details are different. The main thing is that they are satisfied with the requests.

Which gsm module to choose when buying?

1. Which performs the functions necessary for you:

Supports the required number of thermometers at the same time (for example 2, 5, 10 ..)

Informs by call or SMS (to whom it is convenient)

Number of phones for notification, usually 5pcs I support all

If you need it specifically for the boiler, then compatibility with this boiler model

2. Which manufacturer to choose? If you are made by a company or a master, give a guarantee for a thermostat, then you will trust him.

If you decided to install it yourself, or the master is not sure of the choice, then you can take the most popular sold models that have been produced for 5 years or more.

As a rule, all new items are "raw", something may not work properly, there may be malfunctions or something will burn out.

What does it look like? For example like this:

What elements does a gsm thermometer (thermostat) consist of from different manufacturers:

2. Board with details

There are 2 main parts on the board: a controller (brains) - an atmega32a microcircuit (or similar) and a SIM900 gsm microcircuit, possibly from another manufacturer, which is responsible for communication.

Components of the gsm thermostat board

Their location on the manufacturer's board - 1

Location at the manufacturer - 2

Thus, if the devices are made of the same parts, then there is no fundamental difference.

Choose those manufacturers who provide a more convenient warranty in the event of a device failure.

This concludes the description.

Technical characteristics and composition of the system:

1.GSM module.
2. Digital temperature sensors with a measurement range of -50 - +100 degrees, accuracy 0.5 degrees.
3. Element of informing about a power outage of 220 volts in the country.

4. It is possible to additionally install an uninterruptible power supply unit and a battery to the system so that the system works for a day without electricity.

5.Can connect up to 5 thermometers.

6. The length of the cable from the unit to the thermometer can be up to 20 meters.

Cable brand KSPV 4x0.5

8. Additionally: it is possible remotely - by phone to turn on any electrical load in the house, for example, an electric heater.

An article from the archive on this topic:

The most pressing issue is temperature control in the heating system of the house in winter. Since not everyone has an anti-freezing liquid in the heating system. Very often it uses plain water. And as you know from the laws of physics, at freezing temperatures, it has the property of freezing. But everything would be fine, but during the transition to the state of ice, expansion occurs. As a result, the strongest metal pipes are torn in the literal sense of the word. Therefore, many are thinking about how to make the heating system warn of a boiler shutdown or power outage.

For this, an electronic thermometer is installed at the dacha, connected to a GSM module with a SIM card. This is a module - an analogue of a mobile phone that transmits information to the owner of the dacha or plumbers who service the dacha about an emergency - simply a drop in temperature below a predetermined level, for example, +20 degrees Celsius for water or +5 degrees for air inside the house.

The photo shows just such a device. It consists of a plastic box with a gsm module, a power supply adapter and 2 thermometers. Removal of one thermometer 10 cm from the block - it measures the air temperature. The second thermometer is on a cable 2-3 meters long. It can be fixed to the heating pipe. The system does not require any installation. They plugged it in and it worked. A SIM card is already installed and configured inside.

Security alarm for summer cottages - the choice of prudent people who value the peace and safety of their families. But some people would rather be robbed twice, rather than having their summer cottage burned down. And if you were faced with such a choice, where would you stop? The first option is considered more "humane", since not all values \u200b\u200bin the house are lost forever. However, do not forget that both fire and robbery are more than unpleasant things.

Installation of warning devices in the country will help protect your home from the disastrous consequences of a fire, and from the criminal actions of robbers. You can also find out the temperature in the country.Thanks to new technologies that are being actively implemented in the production of various types, there are now many ways to ensure the highest level of safety in the country. Modern home sensors can be called "intelligent", since some of them are thus connected to communication devices, so that in the event of an emergency, a signal about the incident is transmitted to the control panel of the security services, which react immediately.

Security system installationwill provide you with a sense of peace of mind for your property when you are away from the villa. The price range for the offered security devices is quite wide, so you can always purchase the necessary equipment in accordance with your financial capabilities.
Your safety is only in your hands. And if, due to some circumstances, you cannot afford installation throughout the territory of the cottage, take care of at least some of its sections. At a minimum, alarms for summer cottages should be represented by sensors that are installed on doors and windows. After all, every burglar first tries to enter the house through window or doorways. Some types for summer cottages emit a loud sound signal, thereby scaring off burglars, others will immediately notify you or the relevant security services

We all know that a harsh winter makes us think about the safety of the heating system in the house, and I will tell you how to do this today.

There are systems to help owners of suburban real estate to control the temperature in the house. Namely, these systems allow at any time to find out the temperature in the room where the device with a temperature sensor is installed, as well as to set a certain critical temperature at which the device will notify the owner via SMS or call that the temperature has reached this threshold and it is time to take action ...

There are also systems that themselves can control heating equipment, focusing on all the same temperature thresholds. Those. the device, receiving information about the temperature from the connected temperature sensor, makes a decision to turn on or off the heating equipment. For example, we set two temperatures in the device: the lower threshold is 10 degrees, and the upper threshold is 20 degrees, it turns out if the temperature drops below 10 degrees, the corresponding output is activated in the device and the boiler turns on, the room starts heating, after reaching the temperature of 20 degrees, the device understands, that it is time to turn off the boiler. Thus, we can set exactly those temperature thresholds that are necessary to keep the heating system in working order. Also, these systems can significantly save energy.

I think the principle of operation is more than clear and the advantages are obvious. If you want to save money and keep the home heating system working in working order all winter, you just need to install such a simple device.

Now let's stop it is on devices that perform the function of thermal control, there are a sufficient number of them and they all differ in their characteristics.

The sensor will let the owners of the house know if the temperature drops below the set threshold, notify about the disconnection / switching on of electricity, and also allows you to find out the actual temperature value at any time via SMS. You can even find out the balance of a SIM card installed in the sensor remotely. Therefore, if you need to control only all of the above, then there is simply no better device, especially since the price of this sensor is still RUB 4800(specially for government agencies - there is no microphone in it, do not spend government money on test purchases)

• DeviceMega SX-300 light Is a compact device with the ability to connect up to3 temperature sensors simultaneously allowing you to control temperatures in 3 different locations. For each temperature sensor, you can setyour temperature regime and its own algorithm for controlling additional equipment, in total there are 3 outputs for connecting, respectively, 3 control devices. It is programmable very flexibly using a computer or SMS commands. Can perform security functions.Price RUB 5290

• And finally, probably the most functional device for temperature control Mega SX-350 light. We make complex and sophisticated systems on it. In short, connecting to 10 temperature sensors, 6 outputs for actuators, all outputs (i.e. devices connected to them) can be controlled from the telephone, all of them can be used in thermal control. It is highly configurable, the clear voice menu of the device allows you not to get confused in control. In addition, the device provides many security functions for every taste. Price RUB 6350
  

Well, perhaps all the most popular devices that perform the function of thermal control, which our company offers. There are, of course, others on the market, but we will not judge them, since we settled on these for ourselves, because over the years of work they have shown themselves only on the good side, are convenient to use, install and program, this shows the experience of installing hundreds devices for our customers and grateful reviews of the latter.

In this article, I did not dwell in detail on the security functions of the devices, because the task today was to consider precisely the function of thermal control, which at this period is the most relevant for our clients. I hope this article will help you determine that a temperature control system is absolutely necessary to reduce your costs and for your personal peace of mind about the home heating system in general.

In general, I wanted to write a lot and in detail about each system separately, but I think a shorter description in this article will be more appropriate for understanding.

And I would like to note separately that each device has its certain nuances, which you also need to pay attention to when choosing a system, so be sure to contact our specialists for advice.

Initially, be sure to decide what you want from the whole system in general!

Do you own a vacation home and are you interested in efficient temperature control? It turns out that currently there are several more or less effective ways by which the temperature in the country can be controlled.

The ability to control the temperature in a country house guarantees a number of significant advantages, which we will discuss in this article. And, of course, we will consider the most relevant technologies today that allow you to achieve such results.

For what purpose are the systems of remote control of temperature parameters used?

By installing special equipment, through which the temperature for the summer cottage will be regulated, the following results can be achieved:

• Providing comfortable parameters of moisture content in the air (moisture content is the ratio of temperature and humidity in the room).
• Providing a longer duration of the operational life of the construction site.
  It is no secret that sudden changes in temperature and excessive humidity during the cold season are the primary reason for frequent cosmetic and restorative repairs. Rapid adjustment of temperature indicators allows you to prevent the appearance of mold on the walls and extend the service life without the need for repair work.
• Ensuring the rational use of energy resources and, as a result, saving money.
  In order to ensure optimal parameters of moisture content in the air, you can install a gas boiler or an electric heater and operate them without interruption throughout the cold season. But, in the end, the bill for the consumed electricity or gas will be impressive.
  You can do otherwise and apply a system in a country house that will turn on air heating exactly when it is needed. As a result, energy consumption will decrease significantly, which will save a certain amount of money.
• Ensuring the safety of the operation of the construction site.
  As already mentioned, you can apply continuous round-the-clock heating, even when you are not at home. But, on the one hand, this is not cheap, and on the other hand, it is unsafe, since heating equipment operated in the absence of a person can pose a potential hazard.
  The situation is completely different when you receive reliable data on the room temperature from a distance and, if necessary, can adjust this data upward or downward.

So now we know the benefits of remote temperature monitoring. It remains to consider the technologies on the basis of which this control is carried out.

GSM based technologies

To ensure effective control of the temperature parameters of the air in the room, you can use a GSM thermometer for summer cottages and special temperature sensors. The use of such technology is a relatively new development that is becoming more widespread, both in our country and abroad.

Using modern GSM systems, you can not only receive real information about the room temperature, but also remotely control these parameters, bringing them to the required value.

The remote control system functions as follows:

• The system user, by means of SMS messages via the GSM cellular communication channel, receives information about the values \u200b\u200bof the monitored parameters and, if necessary, sends a control command through a message.
• The system, consisting of GSM thermometers and alarm sensors, sets the temperature parameters that are optimal from the user's point of view and maintains them for the entire specified time.

Remote temperature control is an advanced technology that is actively used in modern Smart Home systems.

Important: A prerequisite for the effective functioning of a GSM thermometer is a stable power supply.
If the electricity supply is intermittent, you will need to buy or rent a diesel generator for a summer residence.

At the moment, the following versions of GSM thermometers are presented on the market:

• modifications with an integrated thermal converter;
• modifications with external location of the thermal converter.

How does GSM - thermometer work

• The device is powered by an external battery or an integrated battery... Thus, the device functions effectively until the moment when the battery is discharged. After that, the battery automatically starts charging through the power supply.
• Configuring device parameters is done by hand using a PC via a USB connector.
• Depending on the brand and model of the device, it is allowed to work with one or another number of phone numbers required to send messages.
• The phone numbers from which the sensor can be configured are determined both when setting up using a PC and when setting up from a phone.
• Depending on the modification and model, the device may provide an economical power consumption mode, in which the device operates from an internal battery for more than a month.
• GSM - the thermometer is supplied to the user with specialized software that simplifies the use of the system.

Features of the use of remote thermostats

Thermoregulators of this type are installed at a certain distance from the heating equipment. The required temperature is set on the thermostat, and the heating device starts to work in such a mode that the set parameters are constant with minimal deviations.

The thermostat is controlled by means of the keys duplicating the controls on the heating device. The device is equipped with a digital display that shows the room temperature.

The advantage of this solution is that the price of a remote thermostat is an order of magnitude more affordable than the cost of a GSM thermometer. At the same time, using the thermostat, you can set the operating parameters of the heating equipment for several days in advance.

A significant disadvantage of such devices is the impossibility of notifying the user at a distance about malfunctions and malfunctions in the operation of heating equipment.

Important: The use of a special thermostat allows you to ensure optimal temperature parameters within a single room or several adjacent rooms.
At the same time, the consumption of energy resources becomes more economical, and the resource of heating equipment is longer.
