Control of a boiler with climate control via WI-FI based on PLUM automation
How to organize wireless control of a boiler with climate control via WI-FI using PLUM automation. In fact, wireless connection is one of the basic interfaces available in these devices (EcoMax360, Ecomax860 P). WI-FI is supported by microcontrollers, sensors and touch panels. To connect them and communicate with each other, you will need a signal repeater. A schematic diagram of wireless connection of climate control devices is shown in the illustration.
When is a Wi-Fi connection for climate control urgently needed?
If you want to simplify installation when deploying a climate control system, it is better to use devices with a wireless interface. To connect them you only need repeater, the remaining data processing functions will be performed by the boiler controller, which also supports a WI-FI interface.
You can use wired and wireless equipment in one climate control system. The main thing is to follow the installation rules to ensure functionality.
Connecting to a mobile device via WI-FI
Despite the fact that you can try to connect to the climate control WI-FI network from your phone, the manufacturer has not provided the ability to control it via a wireless interface without the Internet. To access from a smartphone, you need to install and connect an Internet repeater to the system and log into the climate control system using a mobile application. In this case, you will be able to control the boiler and devices remotely and from the apartment.
Security via WI-FI
Wireless is not a secure interface by default, but because devices are controlled by a low-level controller, it is much more difficult to connect to a data network. As a result, WI-FI is a completely safe standard if you need to control a boiler with climate control via WI-FI.
