Re: Underfloor heating and HA control?

["Simon Coates" <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I used stuff from IPPEC. http://www.ippec.co.uk/
All radiators and UFH is fed from manifolds using PEX pipe.  Each room is
individually fed via control valves on the manifolds (one upstairs and two
in the cellar)

They also supply 'pipe in plate' systems for timber floors.

Regards

Simon

Subject: [ukha_d] Underfloor heating and HA control?


I'm going to be putting a wet under floor heating system into my loft
conversion. The floor will be a timber and real wood flooring. My architect
says this is possible and there are systems available to do this (rather
than embedding in concrete).

Obviously! I want to be able to control this and feed it into my HA system.
I currently use Smartfit connected to Comfort - but this is only a single
zone solution.

While we're doing this, we may also be doing a fair bit of work to the
house
heating system and may even be replacing the boiler. This would be a good
opportunity to finally create a proper zoned system - I'd ideally like to
be
able to control the temp in a number of zones around the house - if not in
every room individually.

So - any ideas or recommendations for:

a) Type/manufacturer of the UFH
b) Type and manufacturer of the control system
(automatable/with status control)
c) Type of system to fit in the existing rooms?

Having Comfort, HomeVision Pro, HomeSeer and a xAP network, how might I
integrate this heating system? I'll also be getting CBus if that makes any
difference?

Thanks,

Paul.
