L’architettura prevede la presenza di 3 macrosistemi:

1. 4HEATMODULE: dispositivo hardware che interfaccia la scheda di controllo TiEmme elettronica e il router Wi-Fi locale;
2. SERVER CLOUD: infrastruttura web server che permette l’archiviazione dati e funge da centro stella nella comunicazione remota;
3. 4HEAT: applicazione per smartphone disponibile da Google Play Store e da App Store in modo gratuito, che consente all’utente di interfacciarsi con il sistema di riscaldamento;

Local Connection:
The connection between the 4HEATModule and the APP is via the home Wi-Fi network, only if both are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Remote connection:
We talk about remote connection when at the time of using the App, the user is away from home. In this case, the App uses the data coverage of your Smartphone and the cloud server allows the triangulation of the signal in order to manage the Module from a distance. Remote connection times may vary depending on data network traffic, network connection conditions and traffic to the server. In the worst case, connection times can be up to 5 minutes late.
