Durch die neue Heizregelungs-App wird heizen so einfach wie noch nie! Mit mySOLARFOCUS kann die Heizungsanlage einfach und intuitiv via Smartphone bedient werden – egal ob von der Couch oder vom Arbeitsplatz aus. So können beispielsweise die Betriebsarten (Heizbetrieb, Absenkbetrieb, Automatik, Kurzzeitbetrieb, Ferienbetrieb, Standby) oder auch die Heizzeiten der Heizkreise geändert werden. Aber auch weitere Features, wie z.B. die einmalige Warmwasser-Ladung oder nützliche Infos zu den Pufferspeichertemperaturen können über das App bezogen werden. Über ein Mitteilungsfenster werden wichtige Informationen über Ihr Heizsystem sofort angezeigt. Ist eine thermische Solaranlage vorhanden, so können Wärmeertrag und Temperaturverläufe in einer ansprechenden Grafik verfolgt werden.
