HomeVision Central Heating

Thursday, 29 January 2004

  

The existing heating controller is a 3 channel affair - Upstairs, Downstairs and Hot water. We will only require an interface to channels 1 and 2 as our hot water is supplied from the stove and not the central heating boiler.

We are happy enough to use the existing thermostats - downstairs there are 6 zones of under-floor heating with a stat in each zone controlled by motorised valves on the manifold. Upstairs the radiators all have TRVs.

Although we are using a dedicated hardware controller (HomeVision - which has proved utterly reliable since it was installed in July 1997), we also wanted to leave the existing heating timer connected so it is possible to easily use it again if the need arises...

Welcome to the Automated Home Wiring Guide. This guide documents the installation of the various wiring systems around our new "automated" home.

I'm a firm believer that a picture can paint a thousand words so wherever possible I have included photographs. I hope you enjoy reading this and I'd love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggests ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )

Automated VIOM Central Heating - Review

Tuesday, 13 May 2003

 

Submission by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - Well it took a long time to get round to it; it was always one of those things on the list. But it's done now and it even works. So what did I do? Our central heating system is not typical and is also quite extensive so it looked as if I needed a custom solution. We have 6 separate zones: 4 for the heating and 2 for hot water (see the picture of the pumps)...

Central Heating Automation - Review

Tuesday, 13 May 2003

 

Submission by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - After moving into Orchard House, we soon realised how much you take little things for granted. In our previous house the Central Heating Controller had been in the kitchen and both my Wife and I frequently made use of the "+1 Hr" buttons for both Heating and Hot Water. In Orchard House however, the controller was upstairs inside the airing cupboard. Now it's not a big house, but that was still more of a walk than I thought was strictly necessary ;-) I considered relocating the Controller, but there were no easy cable runs for the Mains cables required. Having recently installed a Comfort alarm, I'd been considering what I could use the Digital Outputs for. Slowly I managed to put 2 and 2 together and get close to 4. I'd install some relays that could control the Heating (240V) on the Comfort Outputs (12V). A 12V cable from Comfort into the airing cupboard was much easier....
