The boiler (gas, automatic pellet, automatic coal, etc.) can be controlled by any Foxtrot system relay output. It is recommended to limit the boiler’s own "intelligence" - the equitherm curve, etc., and design the way of controlling the boiler together with the designer of the heating directly in the Foxtrot system; this provides an option to do the setting, make changes, monitor the behavior of the whole system in Foxtrot, including all remote control tools, monitoring and service.
It is possible to control the heat pumps in a similar way, as they are not themselves capable of intelligent communication with the control system of the house. You can use the input of the room thermostat, which controls the operation of the heat pump.
The boilers equipped with the OpenTherm interface can be controlled via the UC-1204 module. For an example of basic wiring and connection to the Thermona boiler fitted with the IU05 interface module, including the principles of connection,see the following chapters.
The heat pumps fitted with a communication interface can usually be also connected via this interface to the Foxtrot basic module. The heat pumps controlled by the Foxtrot system (included in the pump delivery) can be connected to the intelligent house control system via the Ethernet and also used for a better control and transfer of parameters - e.g. the setting of the pump can be included in the website of the house control and the overall design can be dealt with as a whole. The communication itself (data transfer between the pump control system and the Foxtrot system for smart home) must be designed in cooperation with the supplier or manufacturer of the heat pump.
Some heat pumps only allow basic control using several signals (ON/OFF, heating/cooling etc.). Every specific connection has to be dealt with together with the heat pump supplier, or in accordance with the documentation issued by the manufacturer. For an example of possible connection of a heat pump, see Chapter 4.7.1.
