How internet connected smart heating controls use and store data

Published: 14-08-2018

Internet connected smart heating controls are favoured by tech-savvy homeowners who want complete control and access to their heating and hot water appliances, whenever and wherever they are.

With more people concerned about how internet connected devices are storing and using personal data, it is worth knowing exactly how smart heating controls work.

How is data uploaded to an internet connect smart heating control?

While every smart heating control is different, during the set-up process a customer will be prompted to input information. Information will vary from setting the time you want your boiler to provide hot water, to more personal information including connecting devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, so that the control can talk to your tech remotely.

Is it safe to use smart internet connected heating controls?

At Worcester, the security of any data recorded on a device is paramount. To ensure peace of mind, all data on the Bosch EasyControl is kept on the device, which minimises any security risks associated with cloud storage and guarantees that information will not be shared with any third parties. Because the device stores all the data, this also means that the device can continue to work even when offline.
