I'm about to install a new central heating system.
What I would really like to be able to do, is to phone home and switch
on the heating. I work irregular hours, so programming the timer
doesn't do it for me. I guess what I need is a way of linking the
heating programmer to either my BT line, or a mobile.
Does anyone know of such a system? I have searched, but so far without
success.
I have mine under the control of a Comfort alarm system, which
allows me to phone it to switch it on and off, and it will phone
me if it locks-out (not happened yet, except when deliberately
engineered). There are also some timed programs, e.g. for doing
the hot water cylinder for half an hour per day, but as it's
part of the alarm, it has the intelligence not to bother if I'm
away. Also, when the alarm is switched to night mode, the
downstairs zone automatically falls back to a setback temperature
setting.
I also have a PC interfacing to the alarm, and this enables me
to switch heating and hot water on and off from work across the
internet.
