Until recently, remote control of heating in the country was available only to professionals who are able to independently assemble the controller circuit from separate radio components or to those who could pay for such services. However, modern manufacturers have released many models of controllers for smart home systems that perform the functions of controlling various equipment, including heating. Another reason why factory control modules are highly recommended is for fire safety.
Most often, the following tasks are set for the heating control system in the country:
To solve the tasks, the heating control system must meet the following criteria:
The difficulty in developing universal recommendations lies in the fact that a wide variety of methods can be used to maintain the temperature in the country. Of the most common, it can be noted: central heating using a gas or electric boiler and radiators, heating with convectors distributed throughout the premises and traditional stoves or fireplaces.
As a rule, control devices of the GSM alarm system are used as control devices, which have advanced functions and an additional interface for controlling various devices.
For example, the GSM alarm controller Block-Post 4, manufactured by EDS LLC, was used.
This device allows you to control the temperature in 8 zones at a distance of up to 100 from the main device. Although the device is intended primarily for an alarm system, its latest firmware has ample opportunities for working with temperature indicators and the corresponding external peripherals:
This device has several advantages over others that regulate the same functionality. First of all, all modules, including the GSM modem and the UPS (up to 12 hours of autonomous operation), are built into the case, which greatly simplifies its installation and configuration. After the SIM card is installed, the controller automatically connects and registers on the developers' WEB service, which is located at http://monitoring.gsmbps.ru/. Using standard visualization shell tools, you can easily program the device to perform many functions without knowing any programming language. Connection directly to the boiler is made via relay outputs.
In addition, developers are constantly improving both the hardware of the device and firmware, as well as the software on the server. The only limiting factor in the widespread use of BlockPost controllers is their rather high cost and poor compatibility with devices from other manufacturers.
It is advisable to implement the technical solution by means of a modular system, since external controlled devices can be from several pieces to several dozen. As an example, the basic GSM module for building signaling and control systems BM8039D is used. The manufacturer positions this device for the protection and control of a boiler room or electric heaters in residential premises.
The device is configured by a special program "Configurator" supplied in the kit. The program interface is quite clear - object-oriented and does not require specific knowledge in the field of programming. There is also a mobile control application for smartphones based on Android, called “Logic of the House”, it can be downloaded from GooglePlay.
BM8039D can measure the temperature in 32 zones, has a built-in thermostat routine and is able to maintain the set temperature in the room. For use as a control system for convectors, additional equipment from the same manufacturer is required:
ATTENTION! The BM8069D module has one important feature of operation, when it is launched without an attached antenna, the device is guaranteed to fail, and no additional device is provided to block the operation of the device when the antenna is missing.
The use of universal controllers is justified if, in addition to controlling the heating system, they will also perform other functions: fire alarm, control of the irrigation system in the country house, remote switching on of lighting to create the effect of presence, etc.
Many manufacturers produce a variety of GSM devices, the main specialization of which is the remote control of heating devices. The user can choose among many different models:
There is a very economical way to solve the problem. It consists in using GSM sockets. In this case, control is carried out in manual mode through command SMS messages. An example would be the following models:
IMPORTANT! When choosing a specific GSM socket model, pay attention to electrical safety: the quality of the housing, the reliability of the contacts, the availability of grounding, etc. Remember that we are talking about devices of increased fire hazard.
The temperature in a house, office or other room: a bathhouse, a garage, a country house - should correspond to a comfortable range at any time of the year. But how to ensure that this mode is constant, and even economical? A modern and reliable room temperature control system successfully solves this problem today.
The principle of operation of all control systems is the timely removal of indicators, in our case, the temperature of the air or floor in the room, and their timely processing. If the system sees that the temperature has reached its maximum value, the heater or several, depending on the number of connected sensors, turns off. And when the minimum value is reached, on the contrary, it turns on. For some premises, only one indicator is not enough. For example, for a snowmelt system installed on the roof of a house or garage, it is also possible to record precipitation levels, which is quite justified from an economic point of view.
All goodsToday, gsm room temperature control is actively developing. This became possible due to the availability of mobile gadgets that can remotely monitor the operation of sensors. Such systems are highly economical and have proven themselves among consumers who value functionality. Now, even while at work, the user has the ability to control the temperature at home. Using an inexpensive one, you can use a special mobile application for IOS and Android to control and manage the heating system. By sending the appropriate command in the GSM 900/1800 network, it is easy to change the parameters and time of heating the room.
Remote room temperature control (remotely) is part of a modern heating system and a fire alarm system installed in a country house.
Devices that monitor and regulate the temperature regime (gsm alarms), both in summer cottages and in office, warehouse, industrial premises (server rooms, greenhouses, transformer, granaries, freezers, etc.), are integrated into a common security system that controls access control, video surveillance and remote notification.
Automatic control of the air temperature in the premises at a distance is carried out using stationary or wireless temperature sensors. Digital information is sent to the control panel. Depending on the communication capabilities of the remote site, data transmission is carried out via an Internet connection or via SMS - by phone.
The main task of the temperature alarm device installed in a country house is a remote multi-point control of the operation of the boiler and the air temperature in residential premises. The calculation of the quantity, installation and installation of electronic temperature sensors is carried out after examining the heating system in the country. The calculation takes into account the presence of additional fire and security equipment (motion sensors, fire detectors, gas and water leak detectors) connected to the relay inputs of the alarm module.
In case of insufficient power of the control panel, it is necessary to use equipment with a large number of control zones. Xital GSM produces expansion units that allow you to additionally get 8 control zones for connecting alarm systems, access control systems, CCTV, notifications about the operation of boiler temperature relays, power surges, hot water status.
In production, GSM systems are used not only for energy-saving heating, but also for controlling ventilation and air conditioning processes, checking transformers and electric motors, temperature conditions in a greenhouse, server room, cold store, grain storage, laboratories. Programs for gsm monitoring and remote control of automation are supplied by the manufacturer and can be easily installed on mobile devices.
Technical means and equipment of wireless GSM SMS alarms allow you to organize a remote control, measurement and regulation of temperature in large rooms. Sitting in an armchair in the living room, through radio-controlled key fobs, buttons and remote controls connected to alarm units and air temperature sensors, the owner can exercise climate control anywhere in the house, adjust the temperature of the water in the pool and the air in the sauna, turn the security system on and off, open entrance lock, etc. At the same time, the integrity of the interior is not violated, the original comfort and coziness remains in the heart of your home.
For the sake of comfort in your home, you can work hard, choosing exactly those interior items that will make the atmosphere in any room unique and inimitable. Among such products you can find unusual items that will complement the interior of any home, as well as traditional items, such as products for the family living room, cozy bedroom, and even for the kitchen. The main thing is to choose what you like.
Not only the impression of the room, but also the convenience of its use depends on how correctly you choose the furniture. Its design should be treated with all the attention available to you, because it is the real "face" of your home. It is here that those who do not linger at the entrance / hallway level get in, and it is she who gives guests the first impression of your home.
The first thing you should think about when furnishing the living quarters in the house is how much free space you are willing to allocate for furniture. If you are a supporter of minimalism, then you can limit yourself to:
If you are going to use the living room not only as a place for receiving guests, it would be appropriate to install several wardrobes for storing clothes. This is a much more rational way of using space in the living room.
What would you like to see the most comfortable place in your house? If your dream is made in high-tech style, choose metal and glass furniture. If you are a supporter of the classics, modular or cabinet furniture will suit you.
The case option is found in many houses and apartments. Such furniture is popular because it allows regular rearrangements, changing the interior. But at the same time, the size of the cabinets remains unchanged.
Recently, more and more attention has been drawn to modular furniture, with all its advantages. But before you go to buy it, decide on a set of elements that you consider necessary for the living room. The contents of wardrobes are increasingly "moving" to wardrobes, which are installed in the hallway, and sometimes even in the bedroom. You will definitely need a rack or cabinet for appliances, as well as a large dining table. But in a small kitchen, it does not fit, so it is often installed in the living room. After all, this is a gathering place for the whole family! If you are particularly limited in space, a folding option will do.
In order for the furniture to serve you for a long time, bringing pleasure from its use, it is necessary to choose high-quality products from good materials. Here you have three options:
Of course, when buying, you will have to focus not only on the advantages and disadvantages of materials, but also on your budget. However, once you make a successful investment, you will provide your home with high-quality and reliable furniture for many years to come.
When choosing furniture for the living room, think over every detail of your future interior. After all, coziness and comfort are what should “meet” you in your own home, no matter what.

Fortunately, nowadays everyone can remotely control the temperature in a country house. The company offers the most modern and efficient solutions for temperature control during the winter months using remote control.
As a rule, the heating control system has two tasks:
1. Maintaining the required temperature in the house. At a minimum, it should ensure that the building itself and the heating system in it do not freeze.
2. Remote switching on of heating in the country or in a smart home. For example, before the arrival of the owners, so that by the time of arrival all the rooms have warmed up to the desired temperature.
To solve the designated tasks, the temperature control system must meet the following requirements:
1. Provide information about the current temperature in the house and outside.
2. Send out alarms if the temperature is out of range.
3. Have remote control, in particular, the ability to control the temperature in individual rooms or in the entire smart home in any convenient way (using a mobile application, via SMS messages, etc.).
4. Possibility of self-configuration and installation.
There are two ways:
1. If the cottage has Internet access with a Wi-Fi router. In this case, you just need to purchase a GSM system that works via Wi-Fi. You can receive information about the temperature and control it through a program on a PC or a mobile application on a smartphone.
2. If there is no WI-FI in the country house. In this situation, the way out will be to use a regular SIM card in a GSM system. There are a large number of manufacturers of this equipment on the market, and our company is ready to offer you the best options available.
The basic device of the GSM system is to which you can connect various sensors (water leaks, gas leaks, smoke detectors, and others), including.
Modern GSM-thermostats, improved with additional software functions, equipped with relays, are equipment for full-fledged control of the temperature of heating boilers.
The program underlying the operation of the GSM thermostat allows you to:
1. Set temperature thresholds (lower and upper) and receive SMS messages or voice alerts via an incoming call if the temperature has gone beyond these values.
2. Call the control module and receive voice information about the temperature from each thermometer connected to the unit, or send SMS commands and receive information about the temperature in the country house in the form of SMS messages.
3. Program the notification function: for example, to receive an SMS message with information about the temperature in the smart home and beyond several times a day at a certain time.
4. Set a certain temperature in the interior of the house and change it by calling or SMS at the right time for you (for example, half an hour before your arrival at the dacha).
The principle of operation of all GSM thermostats is the same. Only parts (controller and microcircuits) can differ depending on the manufacturer. We can connect the functions of water leakage, security with video and photo fixation for minimal money. Subsequently, it will be possible to extend the functionality as needed (constructor principle).
The technical component of the GSM thermostat operation is provided by a modular system, since there can be quite a lot of external controlled devices (modules): a heating boiler, electric heaters, burglar alarms, etc.
In fact, the GSM heating control system is a specialized controller, correlated with external sensors and having the ability to change the operating modes of the heating boiler.
The GS-module for temperature control can operate in four modes:
1. Manual. When the system is controlled by SMS messages or calls, with the help of which the user sets one or another temperature regime.
2. Automatic. When, according to signals from external sensors, the controller maintains the temperature conditions set by the user. At the same time, you can change the settings for automatic mode at any time.
3. Control mode. When the system sends SMS messages to the user with alarms: smoke, gas leakage, critical temperature values, etc.
4. Mode according to the schedule for the week. With the ability to set the temperature at certain hours and certain days of the week.
The main selection criterion is that the module must perform the functions you need:

Sometimes it is useful, and in some cases necessary, to find out the temperature in the house, in the country and, if necessary, control it remotely :
The air temperature inside, in various rooms
Fluid temperature in the heating system (boiler)
The air temperature outside, suddenly you are in another city.
Temperature is information in electronic form that must be transmitted over a distance. Of course, this can be done using cellular gsm via SMS or via the Internet, there are no other options, because it is required to control and manage from anywhere.
1. If the house has a full-fledged Internet with a wi-fi router, then there is no problem, you need to install a thermostat with wi-fi. Through a mobile smartphone application or a PC program, you can receive all the necessary information, control, and, if necessary, manage. In this case, there is no need to pay for additional SIM cards that are inserted into thermostats.
2. Internet is not available everywhere. Therefore, the solution can be found in the use of gsm thermostats, control modules. There are many manufacturers of this equipment.
To know which one to choose, you need to understand how it works.
Recently, this device has been separated into a separate group due to its demand in the market. The beginning of everything was laid by the usual gsm alarm - a unit to which various sensors can be connected: motion sensors, fire smoke detectors, gas leak sensors, water leaks, including temperature sensors.
Now, having finalized some software functions for this unit, the relay, having completed it with a pair of thermometers, is positioned as a temperature control device, in particular the boiler.
The principle of operation is quite simple:
We set the temperature values (thresholds) on it and get:
Messages about temperature changes below or above a given threshold in the form of SMS messages.
At the same time, the relays associated with the heating gas boiler or freezer are turned on (closed), depending on what is required. A kind of climate control, like in a car. The only difference is that we receive SMS notifications. Although all this can be done manually (close the relay) using SMS commands.
The working principle is as follows:
It is possible to get information by sending a request (SMS command), a response comes with the temperature value from SMS
It is possible to receive the status in SMS once a day or automatically according to the schedule. The notification function is pre-programmed, the temperature sensors are set to a certain temperature. The system calls or smsits you and reports, for example, that the temperature in the country house has fallen below +5 degrees.
Thus, the principle of operation for different manufacturers is the same, but the details differ. The main thing is that they suit requests.
1. Which performs the functions you need:
Supports the right number of thermometers at the same time (for example 2, 5, 10 ..)
Informs by call or SMS (to whom it is convenient)
Number of alert phones, usually 5pcs support all
If you need it specifically for the boiler, then compatibility with this boiler model
2. Which manufacturer to choose? If a firm or a master makes you, gives a guarantee for the thermostat, then he will trust him.
If you decide to install it yourself, or the master is not sure of the choice, then you can take the most popular models sold, which are produced from 5 years.
As a rule, all new items are "raw", something may not work, there may be failures or something will burn out.
2. Board with parts
There are 2 main parts on the board: the controller (brains) - an atmega32a chip (or similar) and a SIM900 gsm chip, possibly from another manufacturer, which is responsible for communication.
Components of the gsm thermostat board
Their location on the manufacturer's board - 1
Location at the manufacturer - 2
Thus, if the devices are made of the same parts, then no fundamental difference.
Choose those manufacturers who give a more convenient warranty in the event of a device failure.
This completes the description.
1.GSM module.
2. Digital temperature sensors with a measurement range of -50 - +100 degrees, an accuracy of 0.5 degrees.
3. An element of informing about a power outage of 220 volts in the country.
4. It is possible to additionally install an uninterruptible power supply and a battery to the system so that the system can work for a day without electricity.
5.It is possible to connect up to 5 thermometers.
6. The length of the cable from the unit to the thermometer can reach up to 20 meters.
Cable brand KSPV 4x0.5
8. Optional: it is possible to turn on any electrical load in the house remotely - by phone, for example, an electric heater.
The most pressing issue is the temperature control in the heating system of the house in winter. Since not everyone has anti-freeze liquid in the heating system. Very often plain water is used in it. And as you know from the laws of physics, at negative temperatures, it has the property to freeze. But everything would be fine, but during the transition to the state of ice, expansion occurs. As a result, the strongest metal pipes are torn in the literal sense of the word. Therefore, many people think about how to make the heating system warn of a boiler shutdown or a power outage.
To do this, an electronic thermometer connected to a GSM module with a SIM card is installed in the dacha. This module is an analogue of a mobile phone that transmits information to the owner of the dacha or plumbers servicing the dacha about an emergency - simply a drop in temperature below a predetermined level, for example +20 degrees Celsius by water or +5 degrees by air inside the house.
The photo shows such a device. It consists of a plastic box with a gsm module, a power supply adapter and 2 thermometers. The removal of one thermometer by 10 cm from the block - it measures the air temperature. The second thermometer is on a cable 2-3 meters long. It can be fixed on the heating pipe. The system does not require any installation. Plugged it in and everything worked. The SIM card is already installed and configured inside.
Security alarm for a summer residence- the choice of prudent people who value the peace and security of their family. But some people would rather be robbed twice than have their dacha burned to the ground. And if you were faced with such a choice, where would you stop? The first option is considered more “humane”, since not all valuables in the house are lost forever. However, do not forget that both fire and robbery are more than unpleasant things.
Installation of warning devices in the country will help protect your home from the deplorable consequences of a fire, and from the criminal actions of robbers. You can also check the temperature in the country. Thanks to new technologies that are being actively introduced in the production of various types, there are now many ways to ensure the highest level of security in the country. Modern sensors for the home it is quite possible to call them "intelligent", since some of them are connected to communication devices in such a way that in the event of an emergency, the signal about the incident is transmitted to the control panel of the security services, which react immediately.
Security system installation will provide you with a sense of peace of mind for your property when you are away from your cottage. The price range for the proposed security devices is quite wide, so you can always purchase the necessary equipment in accordance with your financial capabilities.
Your safety is only in your hands. And if, due to some circumstances, you cannot afford installation throughout the dacha, take care of at least some of its sections. The alarm system for summer cottages should at least be represented by sensors that are installed on doors and windows. After all, every robber first tries to enter the house through window or doorways. Some species for giving emit a loud sound signal, thereby scaring off robbers, others will immediately notify you or the relevant security services
We all know that a harsh winter makes us think about the safety of the heating system in the house, and I will tell you how to do this today.
There are systems to help owners of suburban real estate to control the temperature in the house. Namely, these systems allow you to know at any time the temperature in the room where the device with a temperature sensor is installed, as well as set a certain critical temperature at which the device will notify the owner via SMS or a call that the temperature has reached this threshold and it is time to take action. .
There are also systems that themselves can control heating equipment, focusing on all the same temperature thresholds. Those. the device, receiving information about the temperature from the connected temperature sensor, makes a decision to turn on or turn off the heating equipment. For example, we set two temperatures in the device: the lower threshold is 10 degrees, and the upper 20 degrees, it turns out that if the temperature drops below 10 degrees, the corresponding output is activated in the device and the boiler turns on, heating of the room starts, after reaching a temperature of 20 degrees, the device understands it's time to turn off the boiler. Thus, we can set exactly those temperature thresholds that are necessary to maintain the heating system in working order. Also, these systems can significantly save energy.
I think the principle of operation is more than clear and the advantages are obvious. If you want to save money and keep your home heating system working in working order all winter, you just need to install such a simple device.
Now let's stop it is on devices that perform the function of thermal control that there are a sufficient number of them and they all differ in their characteristics.
The sensor will let the owners of the house know if the temperature drops below the set threshold, notify you of a power outage / turn on, and also allows you to find out the actual temperature value at any time via SMS. You can even check the balance of the SIM card installed in the sensor remotely. Therefore, if you need to control only all of the above, then there is simply no better device, especially since the price of this sensor is still 4800 rub.(specially for government agencies - there is no microphone in it, do not spend government money on test purchases)
Well, perhaps all the most popular devices that perform the function of thermal control, which our company offers. Of course, there are others on the market, but we will not judge them, because we settled on these for ourselves, because over the years of work they have shown themselves only on the good side, they are easy to use, install and program, this shows the experience of installing hundreds devices for our customers and grateful feedback from the latter.
In this article, I did not dwell on the security functions of devices, because the task today was to consider exactly the function of thermal control, which is the most relevant for our customers at this time. I hope this article will help you decide that a temperature control system is a must for reducing your costs and for your personal peace of mind about your home heating system as a whole.
In general, I wanted to write a lot and in detail about each system separately, but I think a shorter description in this article would be more appropriate for understanding.
And separately I want to note that each device has its specific nuances which you also need to pay attention to when choosing a system, so be sure to contact our experts for advice.
Initially, be sure to decide what you want from the whole system as a whole!
Do you own a country house and are you interested in effective temperature control? It turns out that at present there are several more or less effective ways, thanks to which the temperature in the country can be controlled.
The ability to control the temperature in a country house guarantees a number of significant advantages, which we will discuss in this article. And, of course, we will consider the most relevant technologies to date to achieve such results.
By installing special equipment, through which the temperature for giving will be regulated, it will be possible to achieve the following results:
So now we know the benefits of remote temperature control. It remains to consider the technologies on the basis of which this control is carried out.
To ensure effective control of the temperature parameters of the air in the room, you can use a GSM thermometer for summer cottages and special temperature sensors. The use of such technology is a relatively new development, which is becoming more widespread both in our country and abroad.
Using modern GSM systems, you can not only receive real information about the temperature in the room, but also remotely control these parameters, bringing them to the required value.
The functioning of the remote control system is carried out as follows:
Remote temperature control is a progressive technology that is actively used in modern Smart Home systems.
Important: A prerequisite for the effective functioning of the GSM thermometer is a stable supply of electricity.
If the power supply is intermittent, you will need to purchase or rent a diesel generator to give.
At the moment, the following versions of GSM-thermometers are presented on the market:
Thermostats of this type are installed at a certain distance from the heating equipment. The required temperature is set on the thermostat, and the heating device starts to work in such a mode that the set parameters are constant with minimal deviations.
In the photo - a stylish thermostat that will decorate any room
The thermostat is controlled by means of keys that duplicate the controls on the heating device. The device is equipped with a digital display, which displays readings about the air temperature in the room.
The advantage of this solution is that the price of a remote thermostat is an order of magnitude more affordable than the cost of a GSM thermometer. At the same time, using the thermostat, you can set the operating parameters of the heating equipment for several days in advance.
A significant disadvantage of such devices is the impossibility of notifying the user at a distance about malfunctions and malfunctions in the operation of heating equipment.
Important: The use of a special thermostat allows you to ensure optimal temperature parameters within a single room or several adjacent rooms.
At the same time, energy consumption becomes more economical, and the resource of heating equipment is longer.
