Heating temp control
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2014 6:00 pm
Hello
I am changing my heating system and need to add some sort of control system to it for network control. Im struggling to work out what to use as I want to be able to change the temperature of the thermostat from demopad, read the existing temp and turn it on and off etc. I can't find a smart thermostat that allows this sort of direct control (but I might be missing it). I would consider going with a controller like Vera or Micasaverde or some other z-wave based controller for example, if that would help, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to what those actually do. I want lighting control too, would they help?
Can anyone help as I really need to make a decision on this by the end of the week.
Any suggestions or pointers on stuff I can read would be great
Thanks
