Smart Zone Boiler Interlock Solution – Eliminate Gas Waste

Overview

Link Every Radiator to the Boiler - Fire Only When Heat is Needed

A standalone TRV can only close a single radiator valve - the boiler keeps running regardless, wasting gas and wearing out equipment. Our boiler interlock solution changes this at the system level. Each TRV reports room temperature and heating demand to the gateway; the gateway relays these signals to the receiver; the receiver starts or stops the boiler based on actual demand across all zones. The result: your customers get true whole‑home energy savings, not just individual room control.

Core Capabilities

● Boiler On‑Demand Interlock
● Per‑Room Zone Scheduling
● Remote APP Control
● Multi‑Protocol Support

Architecture Highlights

● All rooms share one gateway and one receiver - unified interlock logic, no per‑room wiring

● Gateway aggregates demand from all TRVs - receiver acts on aggregate signal

● Boiler fires only when at least one TRV calls for heat - shuts off when all are satisfied

Application Scenarios

Single Family Homes - No More Heating Empty Rooms

Challenge: Boiler runs 24/7, heating every room regardless of occupancy. Empty rooms waste gas; occupied rooms overheat.

Our solution: TRVs in each room detect temperature and demand. When a room reaches setpoint, its valve closes. When all rooms are satisfied, the boiler shuts off completely - zero waste.

● Boiler auto‑shutoff when all rooms satisfied

● Demand‑based boiler firing

● Per‑room independent TRV control

Rental Properties – Stop Tenants from Wasting Gas

Challenge: Tenants leave heating on full blast with windows open – no incentive to save. Landlords bear the cost.

Our solution: Boiler interlock overrides tenant behavior – no heat needed, no gas burned. Even if tenants forget to adjust, the system shuts off automatically when all rooms are satisfied.

● Automatic boiler shutoff regardless of user behavior

● Schedule limits via APP

● Landlord control override

Small Offices & Shops – Weekends Cost You Nothing

Challenge: Staff forget to turn off heating. The boiler runs through nights and weekends, heating empty offices.

Our solution: 7‑day programming aligns heating with business hours. Off‑hours: boiler only runs for frost protection (5°C). Monday morning: pre‑heats before staff arrive – comfort without waste.

● 7‑day programmable schedule

● Frost‑protection only during off‑hours

● Pre‑heat before occupancy

Need True Room Temperature Sensing for Radiators Behind Curtains or in Corners?

For installations where one‑piece TRVs can't read true room temperature, our GEM208 Split TRV places the sensor where you actually live – delivering genuine spatial comfort with boiler interlock as an option.

Advantages

Boiler Runs Only on Demand - Stop Wasting Gas

The system fires the boiler only when at least one room calls for heat. When all rooms are satisfied, the boiler shuts off completely - eliminating dry-run waste that standalone TRVs can never fix.
One Complete System - No Component Guesswork

A fully integrated kit of TRVs, gateway, and receiver ensures seamless communication between every radiator and the boiler - no compatibility issues, no missing parts.
Multi-Protocol for Any Project

Choose from Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, or LoRaWAN - the same gateway-receiver architecture supports all, adapting to any building or regional preference.
