Can smart heating controls help to save money on energy bills?
Smart heating is becoming more popular for many reasons. Find out more about smart heating, the costs involved, and our range of smart controls.
What is smart heating?
Smart heating connects your heating system to your Wi-Fi via an internet gateway which then means you can control your heating remotely via your smartphone, or another device like a tablet or smart speaker.
Smart heating systems usually have two parts: an internet gateway wired relay attached to your boiler and a thermostat that displays room temperature. The thermostat connects to the boiler, and the internet gateway attached to your boiler or heat pump and a thermostat that displays room temperature. The thermostat or thermostat receiver will connect to your heating appliance and internet gateway which has temperature display.
