| Viessmann apps  Apps, the innovative application programs for mobile communication devices make life much easier and more comfortable. They also help the user to keep up to date with the latest developments. About the current status of Viessmann heating systems, for example, or information concerning the use of specific appliances or spare parts. The new Vitotrol app enables convenient remote control of the heating system via a mobile internet connection. The user interface is identical to the color touch screen of the Vitotrol 300 RF remote control unit and it is particularly easy to use thanks to the clearly structured layout of the color display. It offers an easy means of monitoring and adjusting room temperature settings, party and energy-saving modes, as well as various heating programs at any time, wherever the user may be. Messages from the boiler are sent to the iPhone, iPad or the iPod-Touch automatically by e-mail.Installation of the Vitotrol app requires the addition of a Vitocom 100 LAN interface to the Vitotronic control unit for the boiler, which must then be connected to the user's broadband router. The Vitocom 100 configuration procedure takes place automatically to a great extent without any need to alter the settings of the broadband router in the home. The application is a user-friendly tool for user control of a heating system, not only for the end customer. The heating system's LAN/broadband connection also gives the contractor or heating engineer an opportunity to offer additional services to his customers. Viessmann's new Energy savings check app helps consumers and contractors to quickly and easily determine how efficiently a heating system works. At the same time, they are also given a suggestion for modernizing heating systems up to an output of 60 kW and find out how much money they could save by modernizing. When the annual gas/oil consumption has been entered with the size of the living area, the application first calculates an up-to-date characteristic energy value. The efficiency of the heating system is then displayed according to a scale from green to red. Specific system parameters are entered and the app formulates a modernization proposal on the basis of these. The user then has information on the amount of energy, money and CO2 emissions that would be saved following modernization in black and white. This new app offers contractors or heating engineers a means of accessing essential information concerning individual components and spare parts directly via mobile phone (with browser) or smart phone. Irrespective of whether the information relates to price, use, predecessor or successor of the pertinent individual component everything is communicated as soon as the material number has been entered. If the order number for the main product is entered, the app responds by displaying a list of all associated individual components. This means that the contractor or heating engineer receives a complete overview quickly and easily. The Product app presents all of Viessmann's important innovations, information concerning the brand and references in German or English. This makes it an ideal tool for use when advising customers. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
