This is how smart heating is done nowadays: heatness® infrared heating and Homematic IP
With Homematic IP, heatness® offers intelligent control of your infrared heating system via digital thermostats as well as via a smartphone app while on the move.
So everything is taken care of! The temperature in the individual rooms can be conveniently set via thermostat or smartphone, and it is also possible to program the room temperature via the smartphone app. The thermostats can be mounted on the wall or simply laid down. The infrared heaters with thermostat are controlled by radio, so there is no need to lay additional cables between the thermostats and the heaters. Depending on the connection option, the infrared heaters can be plugged into a socket with a switch-metering socket or connected to a switch-metering actuator in a flush-mounted or junction box.
Homematic IP for controlling heatness® infrared heaters via a socket outlet
Homematic IP for controlling heatness® infrared heaters via a flush-mounted actuator
The Homematic IP system for heatness® infrared heaters consists of the following components:
Access Point
The access point is responsible for controlling and connecting all Homematic IP devices and is required once per system. It is conveniently connected to the router via the network cable supplied, and set up is quick and easy via the Homematic IP app on the smartphone. Recently, convenient voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant has become possible.
Wall thermostat
The Homematic IP wall thermostat is responsible for measuring the room temperature and humidity. The set temperature can be adjusted manually on the wall thermostat without starting the smartphone app. The wall thermostat has a large display with white backlighting and is therefore easy to read. Mounting on the wall is flexible and simple using adhesive strips or screws. Important: For operation, the connection to a Homematic IP Access Point is required.
Switching metering socket
The Homematic IP switch-metering socket is responsible for switching plugged-in loads, such as heatness® infrared heaters, on and off. It also measures the energy consumption. Manual operation, i.e. direct switching on and off of the loads at the switch-metering socket at the push of a button, is also possible. Optionally, the switch-metering socket can be used to extend the range of the radio signal. Important: A connection to a Homematic IP Access Point is required for operation.
Flush-mounted switch/measurement actuator
Due to its small dimensions, the Homematic IP switching/measuring actuator is ideal for installation in a flush-mounted or junction box. Despite its compact design, it has a high switching capacity of up to 12 A continuously or 16 A briefly. It is therefore ideal for installation in a flush-mounted box behind a heatness® infrared heater. In addition, it allows the energy consumption to be measured. Important: A connection to a Homematic IP Access Point is required for operation.
Wall switch
The Homematic IP wall switch enables Homematic IP actuators to be switched on or off via a radio signal at the touch of a button. They are thus ideal for controlling lamps. Important: A connection to a Homematic IP access point is required for operation.
