| This
holiday home overlooks Cape Cod Bay in the USA. It
was fitted with an |
|
IDRATEK system primarily for security and remote monitoring
and control |
| purposes,
but as is common to our experiences soon expanded
to include other |
| functions.
|
| |
| As
a holiday let it was important to our client that
the property could be |
|
monitored remotely when unoccupied and also that well
controlled heating |
|
would not only provide extra efficiency and comfort
during occupancy, but also
|
|
prevent frost damage during cold winter spells.The
ability to bring heating and |
|
hot water out of fallback mode remotely meant that
the house was welcoming |
|
upon arrival - with minimal energy waste.
|
| |
| During
the project a number of interesting additional features
were integrated. |
| Radio
controlled motorised door locks operated via an IDRATEK
module |
|
allowed our client to unlock selected doors for guests
remotely either via the |
| Internet
or his mobile phone. In addition, a watt-hour meter
readable via an |
|
IDRATEK digital input module would allow easy real
time monitoring of electrical |
|
power consumption. An oil level sensor interfaced
via an IDRATEK analogue |
