I have a house which I am trying to control remotely. It is in danger of freezing in cold weather so I want to be able to turn the electric water heater on remotely, drain the water system remotely and to turn on the the underfloor heating remotely.
I would like to ask for some help on how to do this. I am thinking of doing the things below. My starting point is, I think, to get a micasaverdi vera controller (ie z wave as my standard).
1. Turning on a water heater - I am thinking of using a high current relay with something like a Düwi Z-Wave Built-in Switch
2. Draining water using the same type of switch connected to a standard heating actuator that opens and closes a tap when activated. I would need three of these (to turn off the stopcock, to drain the hot water and to drain the cold water)
3. Turning on electric under floor heating - This I don't know how to do. I would like to find a z-wave DIN fuse that can take high loads.
My question is - are there better ways to do 1 & 2, and how do I do 3?
Thanks in advance.
