All floor heating systems use a pump to pump the water around. This pump, however, runs 24 hours a day, while it is not necessary and therefore consumes too much energy.

To do this, there are some ideas on the water, but it can be much simpler and more reliable.

The only investment is 2 NEO Coolcam jacks. There is a real price available.

The first points are placed at the Cv boiler and the second at the underfloor heating pump. Normally, both devices are plugged in with a plug so it's very easy.

The cv boiler plug directly hidden in your system, you do not want to turn it off accidentally. (You can give a hard reset from the lazy seat from now on.)

We begin to show the boiler's variable status:

We use a variable because we may want to use the status of the heating in other scenes.

Now we will decide when which of the 2 statuses applies. We base this on the power take-off of the Cv boiler (not decreased power since HC-2 version 4.140 no scenes can be made with reduced power as a starting point)

In the example, the power take-off of the Cv boiler at rest 0.05A is only the Cv boiler's electronics and if it is going to heat and thus activates its own pump 0.3A.

To turn on the heating status we make a scene that determines that this happens when the value of the decreased current is higher than 0.1A.

This scene looks like this:

To turn off the status we use the following scene:

Now we are ready to operate the underfloor heating pump, and that is very easy to expect.

The pump will run with the following scene:

And the pump stops rotating with the following scene:

The nice, or perhaps ingenious, of this solution is that the underfloor heating pump "empowers" the intelligence of the Cv boiler. In most Cv boilers, the after-run time of the built-in pump is set and there is also a maintenance program that allows the pump to run regularly to prevent jamming. That makes it very easy to use!
