Smartlife Hydronic Underfloor heating control

Built with you in mind

Smart Hydronic Underfloor Control

Smartlife makes charging an electric vehicle simple, equitable, and scalable at any multi-unit property. Our system manages payments, tracks energy usage, and automates all data reporting.

Energy Efficiency

Hydronic underfloor heating systems use heated water to warm a space, which is more efficient than traditional forced-air systems. This means that less energy is required to heat a room and you can save money on your energy bills

Comfort

Hydronic underfloor heating provides a consistent and even heat throughout the room, which is more comfortable than traditional heating systems that can create hot and cold spots. This can also help to reduce drafts and improve air quality

Green Energy

With Smart Control hydronic underfloor heating systems can heat water during non-peak hours, when electricity is cheaper and less likely to come from fossil fuels. This can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the heating system and make it more environmentally friendly

Help save energy, cost, and the planet.

Welcome to the future of underfloor heating control. Our smart hydronic underfloor heating controller with demand response is the ultimate solution for efficient and cost-effective heating management.

Heating Control via KNX

UFH is becoming the most popular heating source when constructing new builds, as it is proven to be one of the most comfortable and efficient heating systems. In order to achieve maximum comfort and get the most from your system, the right control should be put in place and this can be achieved in a simple way with KNX.

Hydronic UFH
With hydronic, hot water passes through pipes and transfers heat up into the room, with the level of heat being dependent on the depth of the pipes. In order to maintain an even distribution of heat, the pipes should be run in a coil, as shown below.
The incorrect (left) and correct (right) way to run under-floor heating pipes.
Depending on the size of the floor, it is not uncommon for a room to have more than one coil. For example, a large open-plan living and dining area may require two coils. Similarly, two small rooms together such as an en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe can be heated by just one coil.
Each coil is connected to a manifold and each zone on the manifold is controlled with an electro-thermal actuator. This is then connected to a KNX manifold controller.
The Theben HM 12 T is a 12-way heating actuator that allows control of twelve 24V-240V AC thermal actuators in 4 groups with 3 outputs and 450mA each.
Each coil is connected to a manifold and each zone on the manifold is controlled with an electro-thermal actuator. This is then connected to a KNX manifold controller.
The Theben HMT6 6-way heating actuator in the top left corner is controlling a hydronic under-floor heating manifold.
Considerations when controlling UFH
There are three considerations to make when controlling under-floor heating:
  1. Maintained Air Temperature: The most common way to control underfloor heating maintained air temperature takes its demand for each room from the KNX thermostat.
  2. Maintained Floor Temperature: Often used in bathrooms and other tiled areas, this ensures a minimum comfort temperature at all times. To achieve this, a floor probe is required, either used as an input on the room controller with a weighting in favour of the floor, or as a separate control loop.
  3. Over Temperature Cut Off: This is used with electric UFH or as a safety mechanism for certain floor types such as delicate wood finishes. The simplest way to achieve this is to install a floor probe with a separate thermostat. This gives clear definition between the standard thermostat and the ‘over temperature’ override.
