Gaia's flush sensor for invisible heat control

One of the advantages of underfloor heating over traditional wall-mounted radiators is that the heat source itself is invisible - hidden within the floor. The same advantages are now offered by Gaia's flush-mounted temperature sensor. The flush mounted sensor is embedded within the wall, ceiling or floor and skimmed and painted over to conceal it.

This unit uses a thermistor that senses room temperatures and sends a signal, via a two-core cable, to a remote thermostat which can be discreetly located in a utility room or cupboard elsewhere in the building, usually near the UFH manifold.

Each room within the building can be equipped with its own sensor linked to the appropriate thermostat so that different temperatures can be maintained in different rooms. Heating is controlled either by the Gaialink control panel, which is set manually via a touch-pad, or by individual programmable thermostats which can be set and adjusted via a smartphone app.

"The flush sensor is especially popular in high-end installations where a wall-mounted thermostat would look out of place," comments Gaia engineer, Steve Burnett. "The thermostat doesn't have to actually be in the room where it controls the heat," he adds.

The GAIA flush sensor is designed to be integrated into a central home automation system. These are increasingly popular, especially in prestigious developments, and allow functions such as heating, lighting, security and even entertainment systems to be controlled remotely via a computer or portable device.

"Although the flush sensor is mostly used in high-end developments, it's actually not expensive and is well within the reach of most home-owners," comments Steve.
