Smart heating technologies and energy-saving solutions
Various advancements and products are enhancing residential heating efficiency and control. Heat pumps utilize ambient energy from air, soil, or groundwater to heat homes, often utilizing a buffer tank to store excess heat. This buffer tank acts as a thermal battery, ensuring stable indoor temperatures and reducing system wear by minimizing frequent on-off cycles.
In the smart home market, Action is offering affordable Hombli smart radiator valves. A starter kit including two valves and a bridge is available for 69.95 euros, with individual valves priced at 29.95 euros. These devices allow users to control temperatures per room via a smartphone app and set weekly heating schedules.
Tado is also rolling out software updates for its smart thermostats and radiator valves. These over-the-air updates include AI-driven open-window detection, which learns the specific climate behavior of individual rooms to prevent unnecessary heating pauses. Additionally, Tado is introducing a mold index based on the Finnish VTT growth model, which analyzes temperature and humidity trends to alert users of potential mold risks.
