Upcoming regulations
Open protocols are set, non-proprietary communication standards that allow smart heating controls and boilers to ‘speak’ to each other, regardless of manufacturer, sharing data such as flow and return temperatures, sensor inputs, and fault codes. Historically, many heating systems used a basic on/off control, where a thermostat would demand heat,
