Fantastic Features
For example, GSM module for the boiler makes it possible to control the heating system using a mobile phone. This is a very convenient innovation, since owners no longer need to be afraid to leave the boiler on when going to visit or work. Any changes in the set parameters will be notified in the form of an SMS message. This will allow you to quickly react and eliminate problems before serious and irreparable consequences occur.
The ability to control your home while being far away from it is one of the main technologies of the future. For now, the functionality of such systems is limited, but now with the help of a GSM module for heating boilers you can do the following:
- - obtain current information about the status of key indicators;
- - change the basic boiler settings to the desired ones;
- - receive a notification about the activation of any sensor;
- - receive notification of a boiler failure or gas leak;
- - turn on, turn off or restart the boiler.
Thanks to such functions, the owner will always be aware current state heating systems. This increases the level of security to previously unattainable heights. The GSM boiler control module works with mobile phones from any manufacturer. For modern smartphones, there are special programs that allow you to read all the data in real time. With their help, you can quickly transmit any commands to the control unit, which will be immediately executed.
Java-enabled phones also have their own software, though with much less functionality. And for simple devices old model, all control and notification is carried out using text messages. It is better to always carry with you a printout of requests that will allow you to control the boiler.
Features of module installation and configuration
Installing and configuring programs on phones, as well as connecting the system to the boiler, is best done by professionals. They will be able to correctly carry out the sequence of actions and check the functionality of the system. Testing is mandatory. It is necessary for one person to stay at home, and one person to go outside with the phone.
Then, one by one, it will be necessary to perform various manipulations with the boiler, which should affect its operation. The inspector will record how quickly notifications arrive, what their content is, and whether he is able to remotely control the parameters to normalize the operation of the heating system.
Externally GSM module for gas boiler looks like a standard internet modem. It also has a transmitter with an antenna to amplify the signal and a receiver to receive the return data. The device also has a small digital display to display information about the settings being set. You can set up to send notifications and receive instructions from two phone numbers. The module works with any operators and from anywhere in the world. The main thing is that there is coverage and a stable network signal.
The most often used is an electric boiler with a GSM module, because it is easiest to connect the device to it. But owners should take into account that the device runs on its own battery, so even if the power is turned off, it will continue to function.
At the same time, the boiler will be inactive and, accordingly, all its indicators will change every minute. So it's better to supply electrical system heating source uninterruptible power supply so she can wait until it's over repair work without emergency shutdown. In any case, information about the absence of light will also be transmitted to the apartment owner’s mobile phone.
Instructions for connecting the device
Installing the device on the boiler is very simple, and for professionals this procedure takes only a few minutes. If you want to carry out all the work yourself, and no arguments about the need for experience work, then connecting the GSM module to the boiler occurs as follows in a step-by-step version:
- 1. The device is connected to the boiler automation using a special cable.
- 2. You will need to insert a SIM card of any operator into the module and turn on the device. After downloading, you will need to enter a PIN code and check for network availability.
- 3. Next, the device itself will offer to set a security code in the settings, which will be used when accessing the module to transmit control commands.
- 4. Then you need to enter no more than two mobile phones that will have access to control. This completes the connection and you can begin testing.
GSM modules are available for sale for boilers Protherm, Evan, Baxi, Vaillant, Buderus and many other models. The principle of operation for all products is the same. They gain control over the heater automation, after which they can change its parameters using remote user commands.
Prices for a remote GSM module for a boiler may exceed the cost of the heater itself. This is due to their recent appearance on the market and high cost of production. When the time comes for mass distribution, the devices will undoubtedly become cheaper, but now you will have to pay 150-200 dollars for them.
The GSM system is designed for remote control of the boiler at stationary facilities using a GSM cell phone. The GSM module is built into the electric boiler. The GSM module allows you to remotely monitor and control the boiler and monitor its condition from a mobile phone. The easiest way to find out about the boiler stopping is before your heating system defrosts while you are not at home. You connect the module to your boiler and connect the temperature sensor to comfortable spot, if the temperature changes within the limits you set, you will receive an SMS on your phone about this. The GSM cellular heating equipment control system is designed to notify via cellular communication about the failure of heating equipment and remotely control it using cell phone. In addition to monitoring heating equipment GSM system has additional features by notification via SMS and voice dialing about triggering various sensors, connected to the controller inputs. These could be motion, vibration, glass break, smoke, gas leak, flood, pressure, or just a doorbell sensors. The message text for each input can be changed according to the purpose of the sensor. The GSM module allows you to control the operation of the boiler no matter where you are using your mobile phone. Using a simple SMS command, you can set the coolant supply temperature, as well as the temperature hot water in the tank indirect heating water. The GSM module allows you to control the parameters of the heating system, receive messages about system failures, set and change the main parameters of the boiler: coolant temperature, room temperature, boiler power and operating modes. The GSM module allows you to set and change the main parameters of boilers, control the parameters of the heating system and receive messages about malfunctions in the heating system. The GSM-Informator, together with the electric boiler, performs the following functions: - request about the state of the boiler; - remote switching on/off of the boiler; - control of turning on/off heating of the boiler; - sending a message about the lack of coolant in the boiler. To register in a mobile network, a SIM card from the mobile operator in your region is installed in the module (not included in the kit and must be purchased separately). In case of emergency situation The GSM module sends an SMS message to the mobile phone numbers specified during registration (up to 4 numbers). On Cell phones with the Android operating system (via Google Play), iPhone OS (via the AppStore), as well as on phones that support Java technology, you can install special applications that simplify monitoring and control of the boiler.
In heating systems, thermostat modules GSM control have already occupied their niche quite tightly, such a device no longer seems like a curiosity and is a good assistant in controlling the boiler. The manufacturer Evan, together with the Microline company, has developed and continues to develop and improve the GSM Zont H Modules.
On this moment There are three models of such devices - Zont H 1, Zont H 2 and Zont H 1 V. Models Zont H 1 and Zont H 1 V work from a SIM card, a device called Zont H2 works from Wi-Fi networks. The difference between models H1 and H1 V is that H1V is installed on a dinrail in a cabinet with electric automatic machines. Another thing is that this model was developed by the manufacturer for gas boilers.
During installation, the buyer downloads a special application, registers and creates a personal account from which all management and control is carried out absolutely free Feedback with a boiler. IN personal account You can set different parameters for the room temperature, turn the boiler on and off, see the current room temperature, set modes by day of the week and time of day. Receive notifications about the operating status of the boiler. The System itself can call you or send SMS messages about a malfunction or high or low temperature in the room. Or remotely turn off/on the boiler.
The delivery set includes a power supply from 220 to 12 volts, lithium battery, which itself charges during the operation of the module. Wired room temperature sensor, GSM signal reception antenna. Additionally, you can purchase and install four more wired sensors and five radio channel sensors, which must be interfaced with the ML 489 thermostat interface device.
