True Comfort: Creating an optimal microclimate with water floor heating and automatic control
How to set up automatic control for water floor heating based on room temperature? To do this, you will need the following equipment:
- The Livolo Programmable Thermometer-Hygrometer measures the temperature and humidity in the room in real-time. The collected data is displayed on the thermometer's screen and in the Livolo Home mobile application.
- The Livolo Smart socket is installed near the underfloor heating distribution system - the manifold, and is used to control the thermoelectric servo drive. The outlet allows for automatic control of the servo drive based on a configured algorithm or manual control through touch sensors.
- The thermoelectric servo drive with a valve that opens and closes the water flow. The servo drive is installed on the corresponding water loop of the floor in the room where the thermometer-hygrometer is located.
The automated process works as follows
- In the Livolo Home APP on your phone, an algorithm for interaction between the thermometer-hygrometer and the smart outlet is created. This algorithm includes a check: if the measured temperature is below the set value, the outlet should be turned on.
- The Livolo Programmable Thermometer-Hygrometer measures the room temperature.
- If the measured temperature is below the set value, the algorithm triggers: the smart outlet turns on.
- The activated thermoelectric servo drive opens the valve, allowing the heat transfer fluid to circulate in the underfloor heating system, which leads to an increase in room temperature.
This process ensures the automatic maintenance of the optimal room temperature.
Using the Livolo Home APP on your phone or through voice assistants like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, you can configure various automatic scenarios based on the measured temperature and humidity values in the room.
To utilize all the functions of the thermometer and hygrometer, you will need the Livolo Home application and a ZigBee gateway.
Temperature Sensor. Digital Hygrometer
Monitoring temperature and humidity has a positive impact not only on the quality of life for individuals (especially children or the sick), but also helps prevent mold formation. Utilize the sensor to manage heating systems - convectors, boilers, heaters.
Humidity Sensor
Maintaining proper air humidity is one of the fundamental conditions for preserving human health and normal activities. The Livolo ecosystem takes care of your everyday comfort during hot summers and cold winters when the air becomes overly dry. All you need to do is connect a humidifier to the smart socket and configure the automation.
Wi-Fi Thermometer
Temperature control and programming are carried out through the LIVOLO HOME mobile application. An internet connection is required for app-based control. This approach provides unlimited possibilities for management from any point on the planet.
Automatic Climate Control
Monitor temperature and humidity online from any point in your home. You will also be able to configure control of the ZigBee smart socket or switch using temperature and humidity readings through the LIVOLO HOME app.
Glass Frame
The unique smart thermometer and hygrometer are installed within Livolo frames. It will become a true decoration for your room.
Installation
The sensor is installed using a round mounting box (backbox) with a screw fixing center distance of 60 mm. The installation process is very simple and straightforward, causing no issues.
Для реалізації автоматичного управляння потрібно виконати наступне:
1. Додати розумну розетку та датчик температури/вологості у застосунок LIVOLO HOME.
2. В застосунку прописується автоматизація вмикання/вимикання розетки в залежності від показників датчику температури/вологості.
3. Сервопривід включається в розумну розетку.
Таким чином ми будемо мати змогу автоматично вмикати/вимикати подачу води.
Для кожного водяного контура потрібно повторити пункт 1-3.
