RE: Stun me with your bathrooms!

The thermostat for the under floor is manual



You cant "turn the heating" with under floor heating

Think of it as a storage heater

For the rads I use Homvision and dallas temp sensors

I can change the required temp ( variable) via ACE which then gets
Homevision to operate relays to ether turn Rads on or off for localised
control

Or turn the whole heating system on or off

So, do you have a thermostat that can pump a variable figure into
Comfort,
so that you can program Comfort when to turn the heating on, etc ?

ie thermostat tells Comfort it is currently "15" (as in degrees)
?

Having used the "under-floor heating" with the tiles for a couple
of
months I can highly recommend it

I intend to control the heating via Comfort /or/and/ HomeVision and
relays

The actual temp control is via a thermostat.

But it has a huge lag, so instant heat is not an option

As it is winter It is on all the time, and trust me it is well worth the
money



If it did it again I would have put the under-floor circuit (which is
bigger)  behind the tiles and the smaller circuit just heating the floor
underneath the sink and where We stand when getting out of the Bath



In reality the control should be ( I think) on over night for a morning
shower OFF between 9AM and 12 PM



All the kit was bought from

http://www.penguineurope.com/index.htm

Excellent and cheap

Only go for the basic thermostat unless you can't control it any other
way



Shower is from

http://www.aqualisa.co.uk <http://www.aqualisa.co.uk/>



Brilliant shower

We are also using the workings to control the bath.

No taps the Bath just fills via the overflow outlet.

Aqualisa can supply a remote start/stop, as all the control is just
electronics at the shower head feeding a mixer unit

I have the circuit to easily put in a remote start stop from HV or
Comfort



Sorry for the late post, just arrived back form the NEC Furniture show.

I'm in the middle of "doing up" my bathroom
So far the biggest hit is under-floor electric heating underneath the
wall tiles in the shower.
Very easy to do and changes the shower completely.
I can also recommend a seat area in the shower but obviously that
depends on room available. (Saves falling over whilst cleaning feet!!)
Other goodies planed are
Auto filling bath
Remote start of shower and bath
Electric flush
C-Bus switches
TV
Phone
8 dimming lighting circuits
Under floor heating
Behind Mirror heating

Pictures on completion

Stun me with your HA enabled bathrooms.

I'm looking at re-fitting an en-suite bathroom this year and was
thinking about what HA gadgets and controls I could put in - like a
digitally/computer controlled shower with LCD or TV display etc. I don't
want to go too overboard but as I'd be re-fitting, it'd be a shame to
waste the opportunity.

Anyone already done this? I'd be interested in your installation and
what gadgetry you have.

Go on, inspire me :-)

Paul.
