Control
Weather compensation is a technology found in smart heating controls that uses weather live data to fine-tune your heating. By adjusting the heating output based on the outdoor temperature, weather compensation ensures that your home remains comfortable while reducing energy consumption.
Weather compensation works by using an outdoor sensor or local weather data from the internet to monitor the external temperature. This data is then sent to your heating control, which adjusts the boiler or heat pump’s output accordingly.
On colder days, the system increases the heat output to maintain your desired indoor temperature. In comparison, on milder days, it reduces the heat output, preventing unnecessary energy use.
Let’s see how it can benefit your home.
Thanks to weather compensation, your control will communicate with your heating system to increase the temperature when it gets colder outside. This means your home should always be a cosy temperature regardless of the weather outside.
By syncing your heating with outdoor temperatures, weather compensation lowers energy use. This can result in reduced bills as your heating system is only working as hard as it needs to.
Constantly adjusting your gas boiler or heat pump’s output to match the outdoor temperature can put a strain on your heating system. Weather compensation can prevent this as there is no real need for you to alter your settings on your control. This can lead to fewer breakdowns and a longer lifespan for your gas boiler or heat pump, saving you money on repairs and replacements.
Weather compensation technology integrates seamlessly with Vaillant’s smart controls as we use our own protocol, eBUS. eBUS allows Vaillant products communicate to each other seamlessly, meaning it knows exactly what your heating needs are. Our controls talk to the boiler, making smart decisions beyond just turning it on and off.
Before upgrading to weather compensation technology, assess your current heating system to see if your current heating control has weather compensating technology already built in.
If you’ve got a Vaillant heating control like the sensoROOM or sensoROOM pure, you will need to install the myVAILLANT connect internet gateway to enable weather compensation. This is gives full system visibility wherever you are via the myVAILLANT app on your phone.
With the sensoHOME heating control you will need to install an outdoor sensor. The sensoCOMFORT includes an outdoor sensor for weather compensation in the box.
The outdoor sensor will monitor the external temperatures to five a more accurate temperature reading. This data will then be sent your heating control.
Our controls are designed to provide you with the ultimate heating comfort and efficiency. Here’s why you should pair our heating controls with your Vaillant boiler or heat pump:
Our smart controls take precision even further with an outdoor sensor. This sensor ensures the weather compensation feature uses exact outdoor temperatures, delivering ultimate heating comfort and efficiency. You’ll enjoy a perfectly balanced indoor climate, no matter the weather outside.
