A control device for a heating device includes: a thermostat having a control unit, the control unit being connected to an energy source which is used to operate the control unit. The energy source is configured to generate energy in response to the presence of temperature differences between two reference points.

Control device for an heating device and system for controlling an heating installation

A device for connecting an energy-converting terminal to an electric power supply network and for exchanging data via the power supply network, a network connection for connecting to the power supply network, a communications unit for receiving and sending data over the power supply network, a logic unit for controlling the data exchange and for controlling or regulating the power of the energy-converting terminal, sensors and an associated signal processing unit for monitoring the energy-converting terminal, as well as a power section for controlling the energy flow to the energy-converting terminal are provided. The network connection, the communications unit, the logic unit, a sensor unit having sensors and the signal processing unit associated with the sensors and the power section are combined in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A corresponding method is also described.

Device and method for connecting an energy-converting terminal

In a method for identifying consumers in a pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical network, a control unit detects connection and disconnection processes of the consumers, and the connection and disconnection processes are associated with the consumers. Comparative profiles of consumers are stored in the central control unit, each detected connection and disconnection process is compared with the stored comparative profiles, and the detected connection and disconnection process is associated with a certain consumer at least with a certain probability.
