Gira, one of the world’s leading full-range suppliers for intelligent build environments share its knowledge on how smart heating and intuitive temperature control can keep your home comfortable all year around.
“Temperature control is critical to your comfort levels – especially with the changing seasons – and so we understand how important it is to maintain the right temperature at home and save on energy. It can be difficult to maintain your ideal room temperature without technical support, so we are pleased to offer smart heating with a room temperature controller via the Gira System 3000 so whatever the weather, the climate inside your home will be ideal from dawn to dusk” says Jacob Muijnck, Director, Gira UK.
Enable smart individual heating control for every room for the ultimate in home comfort
Gira is able to help UK homeowners prepare for autumn and winter with the launch of its Gira room temperature controller. This new addition to the Gira System 3000 product family works in tandem with the wireless Gira eNet SMART HOME, as well as wired in KNX smart home systems like the Gira HomeServer and the Gira X1 mini server.
The Gira System 3000 is designed to be used seamlessly with the exclusive Gira smart home app, which offers market-leading security and data protection, while keeping your homes HVAC how you like it, when you like it.
Giving the utmost freedom to transform your existing heating system into a self-controlled arrangement, the new Gira room temperature controller lets you set the perfect room temperature day and night. Even better, there’s minimal effort on your part as the normal 230v power line is used, so you won’t need extra cables, a network or even a server, which is usually necessary for smart home systems.
Once your room temperature controller is installed, you simply access it via Bluetooth and the appropriate app. Then all you have to do is use your smartphone or tablet to set the times the controller needs to reach your ideal room temperature.
As soon as the times are set, you can enjoy a cosy start to the day when you get up in the morning and a warm welcome when you come home in the evening. While you are out, the heating will only switch on if the temperature falls below the specified minimum temperature, which is not only convenient but also saves unnecessary heating costs, so there are no surprises when you get the gas or electricity bill.
Another advantage of smart heating is the ability to use timers to set different temperatures in different rooms so that the heating in each room is at the optimum level when you want to use it. For example, you can set the bathroom heating to reach the ideal temperature before your shower to ensure a comfortable start to the day, thanks to an automatic pre-heating function. And when your children are on their way to school, room temperature controllers in their rooms will switch off the heating and turn it back on when they come home in the afternoon.
Take care of lighting, heating and blinds with combined controls
There’s also the option to take control and boost your heating if there’s a sudden cold snap. So if you and your family are in the living room and notice that it is getting chilly outside, you can turn up the heat by adjusting the temperature control via app on your smartphone instantly. State-of-the-art smart heating control really is that quick and easy, especially when you have a room thermostat installed in any room where precise heating control is important such as the family room or kitchen living space.
The beauty of today’s top-flight smart home technology is that you can layer functions so that in addition to smart heating you can also automate lights and blinds with an integrated system and control them via apps.
Every aspect of the Gira heat elements are designed for easy retrofitting so you can upgrade your house by using the latest wireless solutions with ease.
