7.2 iSocket Smart Thermostat with Energy Saving & Equipment-Friendly
Mode
iSocket ® Smart Software has an advanced thermostat feature that allows you to control
both heating and cooling systems with a wide choice of settings and be very simple in the
same time. The thermostat feature allows you to control the main power socket and
change it depending on the pre-configured "switch-off" temperature. The interval between
temperature readings from sensors is one minute.
NOTE! When the thermostat function is in operation it will override any other attempts to
change the status of the main power socket. The thermostat has the highest priority since
this is the only logical behavior. If you wish to control the socket manually you have to
disable the thermostat. When you disable the thermostat, the relay remains in the status
it had just before you disabled the function, because the device does not know why you
are disabling the thermostat, or what status of the power socket you wish to have after
that. You would need to switch the socket on or off depending what you require.
Example of heating system control. A typical example of temperature control would
be heating activation in remote area if the temperature drops below 50F (10C). The
following settings must be used: THERMOSTAT=HEATING, SWITCHOFFTEMP=50F (or
SWITCHOFFTEMP=10C), THERMOSTATON. With these settings the thermostat will keep
the temperature in the range of about 50F (10C). This means that as soon as the room is
heated up to 50F (10C) the main socket is turned off. If the current temperature in the
room is over 50F (10C) the main socket does not turn on until the temperature drops
below 50F (10C).
Example of cooling system control. Another example is air conditioning activation
when the temperature
SWITCHOFFTEMP=72F (or SWITCHOFFTEMP=22C), THERMOSTATON. This means that as
soon as the room is cooled to 72F (22C) the main socket is turned off. If current
temperature in the room is less than 72F (22C) the main socket does not turn on until the
temperature rises above 22C (72F).
Energy Saving and Equipment-Friendly Mode (ESEFM)
Some cooling or heating systems do not like being switched too often while the thermostat
is working. For that purpose we have implemented a deviation value TEMPGAP
(hysteresis) that is 2F or 1C by default, but can be changed by up to 36F or 20C.
Example of cooling system control with ESEFM. If you want to cool down a room -
for example a wine cellar - to 50F (10C), but you can accept a temperature of up to 57F
(14C) in that room, you can set the deviation (TEMPGAP) to 7F (or 4C). In this case, the
cooling equipment will switch less often. The cooling system will be turned on after the
temperature exceeds 57F (14C) and will turn off when the temperature drops to 50F
(10C). The next time the cooling will switch on again is when the temperature exceeds
57F (14C). Thus in the range 50F-57F (10C-14C) no switching occurs, which is positive
for the relay of the iSocket as well as your cooling equipment, and may save energy.
Example of heating system control with ESEFM. If you wish to maintain the
temperature on the site - for example a greenhouse - at 82F (28C) by heating, but you
accept that the temperature may drop to 75F (24C), the settings are as follows.
THERMOSTAT=HEATING, SWITCHOFFTEMP=82F (or SWITCHOFFTEMP=28C),
