Remote operating

[Victor]

Hi all

Hase anyone installed an electric heating system that can be turned on remotely, ie by telephone?


I have been asked by a client if this can be done for their holiday home here in France and I have not come across a system like that here.


Any help gratefully appreciated.


Thanks in adavance.

Yes, there's lots of options if you google home automation. You should google it from your location then you'll get results that are geographically relevant.

"Hello Victor",


I wonder if this equipment is available for use in France ?:

I was going to have this installed on a Heating System but the Homeowner sold the Property before the Works were to begin.


I hope that this will be helpful - as it comes from a Euoprean Company I wonder if they can supply it for use with the French Mobile Telephone System / Text Messaging ?

The Equipment must be compatible to configure for any Country where Text Messaging exists - ?

I would be very interested in what You / Your Client find out about that - could You Please Post some Feedback If / When You find out - "Thanks".

A bit of a late response, but thought I'd post as this is the system I use and I find it very good & very reliable.

First off, I have an O2 SIM card in the unit, costing me £5 a month for unlimited TXTs on Pay as you Go (although I believe the cheapest new SIM they do is £7.50 a month now).

I have wired the outputs to my air conditioning system (heats & cools) and my immersion heater via a mains relay (the inbuilt relays will only handle 5amps).

The inputs are wired to the smoke alarms and a small PSU on the ring main (via a relay) to alert me if the power fails.

TXT controls are easy. For example, TXTing the box "AC ON" does exactly that. "AC OFF" - well, it's obvious isn't it...

If the power fails or the house burns down I'll know about it from a far too. Joking aside the "power fail" alarm has saved a freezer full of food once last year. I was at Alton Towers, got a "power fail" alarm and a few hours later called the neighbour who said it HAD failed earlier, but was restored, so suspected my RCB had tripped as hers had when it was restored. She popped in, reset it and avoided me a couple of defrosted freezers.

Note, for this feature to work you need to have the unit on a battery backed supply, but that isn't rocket science either.

Happy to answer any questions as I enjoy using the unit so much
