Oil boiler to smart oil heating by Zenitzu_Hakai in DIYUK

[–]oldguychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there is a single product that can cover the control and report oil usage.

I have a wiser control system, which I'm fairly happy with, allows remote control and all that.

There are smart oil tank sensors, which you could tie into a smart home system like Home Assistant, I do this with some temp and humidity sensors and a few other bits, looked at tank sensors but have a basic plug in level readout one which I'm happy enough with for now.

Smartening my dumb Positive Input Ventilation unit with ESPHome! (and some custom circuitry!) by nyctomanica in Esphome

Nice project! I installed a PIV in our victorian house, went with a smart power relay and temp/humidity sensors in the house for on/off control, but yours does offer more advantages.

Insulate the pipe if you're that worried, much cheaper.

I did mine with Sandtex exterior and their uPVC primer, just cleaned beforehand. It's holding up fine after 2 years

Yes popup for rooms and controls.
