Abstract
A system for controlling a smoking substitute device having a heating element. The system comprises a receiver module configured to receive a periodic signal. The periodic signal is in the form of a series of signal events. The system also comprises a sensor configured to determine a temperature of the heating element in response to the receipt of a signal event of the periodic signal by the receiver module, and a controller. If the determined temperature is below a predetermined threshold, the controller is configured to cause power to be supplied to the heating element for a heating period, the heating period being shorter than or equal to the period of the periodic signal.
