Marca: Homematic IP

1. Producte acabatview

The Homematic IP 230 V floor heating actuator is an integral component of the Homematic IP Smart Home system, designed for precise control of floor heating systems. It can manage up to fifteen 230 V valve motors. Utilizing secure 868.3 MHz/869.525 MHz wireless technology, this system eliminates the need for complex wiring, simplifying installation and operation.

Individual room temperature settings can be configured through various methods:

  • Via the Homematic IP wall thermostat (HmIP-WTH-2).
  • Through the Homematic IP app, connected via the Homematic IP access point.
  • Using the Homematic CCU2 central unit.

For enhanced functionality, the optional Homematic IP Multi IO Box allows for the control of a heating source or a heat pump, enabling the floor heating system to also provide cooling. Multiple Homematic IP floor heating actuators can be employed simultaneously if more than fifteen valve drives are required. The system supports concurrent operation of both floor and radiator heating, provided radiators are equipped with Homematic IP radiator thermostats. Advanced control algorithms ensure a consistent flow of heating water, promoting uniform and efficient system performance. The actuator can control fourteen 230 V valve drives and one 230 V circulation pump.

Característiques principals:

  • Requires a Homematic IP access point with smartphone app and cloud service, or operates standalone with a wall thermostat, or integrates with a CCU3 central unit.
  • Controls up to fifteen 230 V valve actuators or fourteen 230 V valve actuators and one 230 V circulation pump.
  • Offers individual temperature variations with up to 13 daily changes across 6 adjustable heating profiles (3 heating, 3 cooling).
  • Utilizes secure 868.3 MHz/869.525 MHz wireless technology to minimize wiring complexity.
  • Ensures constant heating water flow for efficient system operation. Ambient temperature range: 0°C to 50°C.
  • Compatible with Homematic IP Multi IO Box for heating source control and switching to cooling mode.
