Underfloor heating

Any experiences good/bad with Cbus and underfloor heating? Thinking that we will do a few bathrooms with under floor heating and Cbus controlled thermostat but not sure if the hassle/complexity are worth it or not. Is this straightforward?

 

Are you able to post a pointer to the logic code? Also, any reason why a sensor in both the room and the slab/underfloor is required? (I'd have thought only underfloor is required or is the room sensor needed for calibration?)

 

Underfloor

Hi
Another option is to use Cbus relay purely for bringing on heat mat and use temp probe and thermostat that comes with various heating matts , I've used this myself and is reliable and very straight forward .

Not having an underfloor heating system I wonder do you change the temperature at all or do you just set it and forget it.

To just use a relay would mean that you cant change the temperature from C-bus, whereas using a thermostat would give you that option.

Yes agree you can't change temperature from CBus , I just set temperature manually as it's not the primary heating in my bathroom it doesn't need any alterations normally .

In my experience, all the underfloor heating systems come with their own temp sensors & Controller.
as it was already supplied & self contained, there was no value to include it on my c-bus system.

 

Check out the Aube TH131 UFH controller. It has an input line that allows you to alter the set-point, command "off" and frost-protection modes.

I used a couple of relay channels, some logic and a few diodes to link up to CBUS.

 

Every under floor heating system I've dealt with so far has been a standalone system with a wall controller to set temperature, then the Cbus Relay is just used to turn the whole unit on or off.
