Activating the open window function at the thermostat

Activation of the open window function on the thermostat

What is it about in the video tutorial Activating the open window function on the thermostat?

In this video tutorial (Activating the open window function on the thermostat), I will show you how to activate the OWD (open window detection) function, which in Romanian means "open window detection", on smart (generic) ambient thermostats.

I mean the generic thermostats, which we find in different stores, but which are sold under a different brand.

What is the OWD function in room thermostats?

OWD stands for Open Window Detection or open window detection. This function stops the heat source (central unit, heat pump, etc.) when it senses a sudden drop in room temperature.

The OWD function also does not let the boiler start in the same scenario, that is, when it senses a sudden drop in temperature.

The "open window" detection function, in the present case, is activated when the temperature drops by 2 degrees Celsius in a 15-minute interval.

What is the good function of the open window on the thermostat?

The OWD function of the room thermostats is extremely useful for saving energy and protecting the heating system from unnecessary stops and starts.

Advantages of the open window function:

Energy saving
Editing unnecessary power plant starts
Comfort, by avoiding excess heat

Be careful when choosing where to place the thermostat:

If you place it in the hallway where there are no radiators, the boiler will overheat the rooms
If you put it near the window, it will be affected by the cold air current
If you put it in the kitchen, where it is cooked, the boiler will not start and the rest of the rooms will be cool
If you place it near electronic or household appliances, the ambient temperature reading will be confused by the heat of the appliances
