The next problem is reaching the emergency heating service. The latter must first come by, check the defect, get the spare parts and then install them. It is better if remote maintenance of the heating system is possible — this saves time and money.
With the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote monitoring management, many things have changed: It is no longer necessary to be directly on site. Instead, problems can be identified remotely and, in the best case, even solved.
A permanent connection to the heating system is not necessary so that qualified personnel can help in an emergency. Instead, it can be done on a rotational basis. Messages sent out by the server, on the other hand, can be conveniently forwarded to the cell phone or by e-mail. Of course, this also means that the system supervisor is informed immediately if problems occur.
Based on the error message, service personnel can analyze the defect in advance and initiate emergency operation. At the same time, important information on required spare parts or repair work can be obtained from the transmitted information. This automatic fault message thus ensures the proper functioning of the heating system almost all year round.
If remote monitoring is possible for the heating system, this results in numerous advantages. And these are both for the service personnel themselves and for the residents.
In principle, it is no problem to prepare the heating system for remote maintenance. The result is improved comfort, aimed at saving time and money. In modern systems, smart networking is usually thought of directly. But retrofitting is also possible with many older models.
