Understanding the evolution of Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats  make controlling your home’s heating an intuitive experience. Using internet connectivity, a Smart heating controller allows you to access your heating remotely; setting up heating schedules from wherever you are with ease or even facilitating automatic heat functionality, so you don’t have to programme a heat schedule at all.

Before Smart controls, most homes used basic mechanical or digital devices that controlled a home’s heating using simple on-off switches or dial-based timers. The first true Smart thermostats were launched in the 2000’s when innovations such as remote control and learning algorithms were introduced: here, the thermostat could learn your daily schedule and preferences over time, automatically adjusting your heating programmes based on your routines.

Today, Smart heating controls have become a key part of a property’s Smart home ecosystem and according to recent research , the market is projected to reach over $13 billion by 2030. The most advanced thermostats allow you to control your heating system using just your voice through a connected Smart speaker and feature innovative technology to learn your routines more efficiently whilst helping to reduce your energy consumption using real-time usage data. As such, using a Smart thermostat can assist in lowering the carbon footprint of your home and save you money on your energy bills too.

What is Matter and why it changes everything

Matter is a groundbreaking development in the world of Smart home technology. It is an open-source connection that ensures devices from different brands can communicate with each other seamlessly. Devices featuring Matter technology can be controlled via any other Matter compatible platform, whether that’s Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home or many others. Matter is designed to offer greater product reliability and ensures connectivity with future Smart home devices as well: for instance, if you upgrade your Amazon Echo to a newer model, setting up the connection between your underfloor heating system  and your new Smart speaker will be effortless.
