Welcome,
I need a concept on how to solve a problem with the control of the central heating circulation pump.
I have underfloor heating which has a circulation pump plugged into the hydraulic manifold to force the circulation of the liquid.
The central heating system has 2 independent heat sources (A and B) with their own controllers without mutual communication. Both heat sources are able to manage the said circulating pump in a simple way, by applying voltage to the terminals of the pump which turns it on (voltage 230V, current consumption max 50W).
The problem for me is that I have to switch this pump to separate sockets manually to run it if either heat source is running. The plumber suggested I add a second circulation pump, but for lack of space, cumbersome conversion and cost I would like to avoid this.
So I would need some kind of circuit, maybe a relay or a bistable relay, which would simply switch on the circulation pump when there is voltage from heat source A or B or AB at the same time.
