Is there a system on the market to control these things from your phone?

Question

Hello I would like to control certain things in my newly built house with my phone. From what I've read what I actually want to have doesn't fit into the smarthome password. I would like me to be able to, from my phone: 1. control external blinds 2. control electric underfloor heating 3. control...

I will suggest to a colleague the Polish Supla. Zamel's product, and what is not on offer you can try to do yourself. You have the choice of Ich cloud or you put a server at home on RP .

... I have not heard a serious Smart Home system that supports CCTV. For that, all others will support the rest of the requirements ....

So if we exclude monitoring, would you recommend any?

Anonymous · Answer

Monitoring need not be excluded. There will simply be a different application.

Here you have to start with something else. From the budget. You can make a low-budget system but.... as it is in a low-budget system 'you're poking at it yourself with a soldering iron in your hand'. You can outsource it to an external company and say "here you have access to a bank account and this has to work, I don't care how".

So... what budget? If the low one, do you have programming, electronic, electrical skills.... or are you rather relying on someone to implement it all, teach you....

--Kamil-- · Answer

My skills are more electrical. Maybe a little electronic. In programming I know as much as I did from school which means nothing. But what the colleague below suggested. That is to say, the supla is something along these lines. I don't expect everything to be laid out here. I simply wanted to find out whether it is possible to cover everything (what I have mentioned) from one application using control modules. Because I would not like to choose a certain system and in the course of time it may turn out, when I expand step by step, that suddenly I cannot control the heating or other things.

HomeMatic version with CCU3 (local operation without the cloud).

It has many dedicated solutions (roller shutters, windows, traditional heating). You can also "hold the soldering iron", i.e. add your own solutions.

You will have problems with the control of (electric) heating, because you will not find ready-made solutions. Well... but you can always make something if you know how and if there are technical possibilities.

Besides, the term is not clear enough:

.
2. control electric underfloor heating
3. control mechanical ventilation
4. control the hot water boiler heater

.
Is an ON/OFF control sufficient or will, for example, a temperature control also be needed.

Supla does not yet have a thermostat in the current software version - it will be in the future. At the moment, you can handle it on e.g.: ESP8266 and scripts. I recommend a visit to the Supla forum. There are many interesting ideas.

As far as the boiler is concerned, it can be on or off. But as far as the air handling unit is concerned, it has a couple of gears and it would be nice if you could select the gear you want or specify that there is such and such a gear from this hour to that hour.

. What type of fuel in the CH boiler ? Underfloor ?

steve2 · Answer

Boiler without problem on light switch and schedule. The control panel can be embraced on the module 4 relays and ter schedule. Of course, independently on-off from the app.

--Kamil-- · Answer

Electric heating. Cables or mats

--Kamil-- · Answer

One more thing. Do you know how the heating cables work? Does the thermostat regulate the current or does it simply switch on and off depending on the sensor reading?

Consider also Satel - in the application they have also a preview from cameras and you can immediately assign macros to a given preview, e.g. to open the gate or water the garden. In addition, you will have the possibility to control the alarm - and in total everything you connect.
The main advantage will also be a remote control - one to control everything (gates, light, gate - as you configure it, so you will have it).

I have come across such a system as Ampio. Only on the forums it says that only a certified installer has access to the configurator. Is this true? Will I, as a private person, get such a configurator even if there was to be a charge?
