How to create the Thermal Comfort scene?
The summers in our country are getting warmer, which can cause the temperature in the house to rise considerably. During other seasons of the year it is often uncomfortably cold and wet outside for longer. In both cases, we want to keep the temperature and living environment in the home comfortable and pleasant for as long as possible.
Save energy by keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The most efficient and energy-efficient way to do something about this is to make smarter use of that free heat source: the sun in combination with opening and closing your sun blinds, shutters, curtains and window decoration.
The "Thermal Comfort" scene in the TaHoma app gives you the opportunity to optimize your comfort all year round by automating your solar protection according to your devices, the season and the time of day.
How does the Thermal Comfort scene in the app work?
Programme your internal and external solar protection to respond to outdoor conditions. For example as soon as the indoor temperature rises to summer temperature, your solar protection closes automatically and your house stays cool.
And in the winter the sun is an additional source of heat. The solar protection opens to catch the heat, and they close when the sun sets to keep the heat in.
Key features
- Responds to outdoor conditions e.q. weather conditions.
- Keep your home cool by blocking the sun or heat on warmer days.
- Warm up your home with the sun and keep heat in on colder days.
- Good for your wallet and the environment!
