Abstract

An energy saving system able to optimize power management and energy efficiency of an home heating plant is proposed. Thanks to an advanced interface and control architecture based on ZigBee wireless devices, a continuous control of temperature is warranted making efficient the heating plant. The system uses a sensor and actuator combination to control and guarantee the desired system parameters; the information is transferred point-by-point using ZigBee communication network and it´s sent to a central unit used to check the peripheral devices state and to take appropriate measures in case of failure or alarm.
