Do you happen to know Homee? Would that be a suitable good overarching unit?
Homee? They still exist? I thought they were dead.
Why? Can't you just set the temperature there and the underfloor heating regulates the flow by itself?
Because the reaction times of a surface heating system usually range from a few hours to days. Therefore, it makes no sense to fiddle with it, for example, when coming home from work and wanting it warmer... or if you’re leaving, it also makes no sense to lower the heating.
The result will be that you always sit in the cold because the heating can't keep up. If you go on vacation for a week or two, then it makes sense to turn down the heating... but don’t forget to reactivate it 2-3 days beforehand, which can of course be automated.
On regular days, when the house is permanently occupied, it is usually counterproductive to tweak the underfloor heating. You heat based on outdoor temperature control and basically don’t touch the underfloor heating.
I also find the statement implying that new buildings without wired BUS systems must be labeled as old buildings to be too narrow.
No one has mentioned anything about buses. Read through what is written above. Conventional wiring is outdated and belongs in the realm of old buildings. (But it is still happily installed in quasi-modern houses... o_O). Structured wiring is the better solution. However, this then has little to do with buses. It can be quickly adapted to any kind of control variant. (Not necessarily BUS, it can also be a PLC or something else entirely.)
Conversely, this means that with conventional wiring you are very limited and then have to resort to crutches (Wi-Fi switches).
