Smart heating with thermostats saves on heating costs. With tink you choose exactly the right heating solution for your smart home for your living situation.
The conventional thermostat has served its purpose – smart heating means more control, comfort and more heating cost savings in the cold season. In this article, we explain what smart heating actually is, what it can do and how you can integrate it into your home. We also show you the best thermostat offers from smart home professional tink, with whom we regularly illuminate the most important areas of your intelligent home.
What does smart heating stand for?
Smart heating means automating the heating process, making it more efficient and easier to control. So you control the temperature in your four walls via app and use smart features that make heating even easier for you and also save costs. The integration of the smart heating into the existing system world of your smart home system is typical – but there are also other possibilities that we will go into later.
What advantages do smart heating systems offer?
Smart heating offers some intelligent functions that traditional heating systems do not have. Sitting on the sofa, you control the smart heating conveniently via app or voice assistant instead of manually setting the temperature in each individual room. All that is required for this is a connection of both components to the Internet. In addition to the temperature, the sensors included in the thermostats also detect other environmental characteristics, such as high humidity. That way, you’ll quickly know when it’s time to ventilate your room.
Another plus point, in addition to saving on heating costs, is the possibility of automation through schedules: For example, the heating only starts just before you get back from work. So when you get home, you already have it comfortably warm and at the same time avoid unnecessary heating costs that arise while you are away. Some smart heaters even offer self-learning features that adapt to your daily habits.
By linking it to a corresponding app, you can view your energy consumption at any time. This helps you to keep an eye on your heating costs and reduce them in the long term.
How do smart heating thermostats work?
With smart heating, the radiators in your home are equipped with smart thermostats, which are then connected to your WLAN or wirelessly to a base station (e.g. a bridge or your smartphone). The smart thermostats contain sensors that can react to external influences and thus heat much more efficiently. One advantage is that you don’t have to replace the radiators in your apartments right away to integrate smart heating. So you can not only attach smart thermostats to modern heating systems, but to any conventional heating system.
Two options for smart heating
The experts at tink will be happy to advise you in detail about the best option for smart heating for your individual living situation. Here we briefly go into the topic to give you an overview.
Basically, there are two variants of smart heating. On the one hand, the integration into an existing system world. So if you already use a smart home system, you could connect the new heating system to it. The following system worlds already have an integrated heating control:
If, on the other hand, you don’t have a smart home system, that’s not a big problem either. In this case, you use a set of smart thermostats, which you attach directly to the respective heat source and can then control via WLAN or radio. The following variants are available to you:
- Raumthermostate
- radiator thermostats
- Underfloor heating thermostats
- central heating thermostats
Which smart heating system is right for you?
The question of which of the available smart home heating systems is right for you depends on several factors. On the one hand, it is about compatibility with your smart home systems, which is not always the case. For example, Eve products are only compatible with Apple HomeKit.
On the other hand, your installed heating system and your living space are of course also decisive. Here, too, tink advises you individually and can recommend the right products from a large range for each individual case.
