Virtual thermostat

INTRODUCTION

This component allows you to configure a virtual thermostat logic in the Ilevia system. It becomes very useful when the system does not include temperature control managed by physical thermostats.

USE CASES

• The system where the Ilevia server is installed does not include any physical thermostats.

COMPONENT PROPERTIES

Enable (Optional): By connecting a Switch component, it allows you to enable or disable the entire virtual thermostat logic;

Setpoint: Connect a Setpoint component, which will allow the user to set the temperature;

Temperature sensor: Connect an Info component, used to display the current temperature;

Upper / lower offset value: These two values set the range taken into account between the current temperature and the value set in the Setpoint;

Valve actuator: Connect a Switch component that will be controlled by the logic.

STEP-BY-STEP CONFIGURATION GUIDE

Step 1:

Add the Virtual thermostat component to the project. The component is located in the Heating / Cooling group in the Component library section.

Step 2:

1. Add a Switch component. 2. Connect it as the enable component for the entire Virtual thermostat.

Step 3:

1. Add a new Setpoint component and make sure its gateway is EVE-GHOST. 2. Connect it to the option list called Setpoint.

Step 4:

Add an Info component that will be used to display the temperature value, and assign it to the option list called Temperature sensor.

Step 5:

Finally, configure the Switch component so that it opens or closes the valve, then assign it to the parameter called Valve actuator.

Step 6:

Customize the upper and lower offset values according to your needs. They define the hysteresis value, that is, the two values at which the valve is activated.
