Abstract—This paper presents a home automation plant, consisting of a distributed heating system. It is a system implemented on a residential home, however it could be extended and used for other buildings as well. The paper presents the distributed heating system’s structure, extended from a classical heating system, and the authors also describe the equipment used for the designing and implementation of such a system. The way the system works is depicted, and the authors enfold all the benefits of using such a distributed heating system, such as, increasing the user’s thermal comfort on different living areas and reducing the costs of thermal heating.
Index Terms—Home automation, distributed heating system, thermal heating, thermal comfort, central heating unit.
