Question

Controlling my heating system through my phone....

Aug 26, 2015 9:39AM PDT

Hey everybody, my question was if there is a way for me to operate my hydronic floor heating application through my phone. As it takes a little while to actually heat up the floors through the PEX tubing I was wondering if there is a way to start it electronically? Meaning I can turn on the application on my way home instead of when I get home... Thanks for any input!

Very interesting! Are these devices tested? Do they work well? Are there any glitches? I'm excited about the idea that something like this exists but i want to make sure its fullproof before installing it.
