Since 1889, when Mr.Edwin Ruud invented the world’s first automatic positive displacement water heater, human beings’ exploration for a smarter lifestyle has never stopped. The story about the iterative transformation of water heater products for more than a century has also been staged in various water heater manufacturers.
Today, let’s talk about the story of IoT and Water Heater 1+1>2.
IoT+Water Heater, working with Ayla to build the first intelligent control system of water heater.
A few days ago, Ayla Networks cooperated with Aquanta, an innovative energy company headquartered in Virginia, and used Ayla Internet of Things technology to build an intelligent control system for water heaters, which was officially launched for water heater manufacturers recently. This is the first system that can remotely control almost any existing water heater through smart phones or network devices.
As we all know, water heaters are one of the major consumers of water and electricity in every household. This time, Aquanta and Ayla’s Internet of Things Siege Lion work together to control and improve household water heaters by building a cloud connection, which can help consumers achieve the purpose of saving water and electricity and improving energy utilization.
David Friedman, co-founder and CEO of Ayla Networks, said: "Aquanta has launched reliable and secure networking products through the Ayla Internet of Things platform, without the need for users to become Internet of Things technical experts themselves. This creative approach in the Internet of Things market allows more traditional products to enter the intelligent interconnected world of global networking."
10%-30% of energy-saving benefits, turning into an "energy-saving king" by IoT.
The water heater controller connected with Internet of Things technology will ultimately bring practical benefits to home users. Compared with the traditional control system, the intelligent control system improved by Aquanta using Ayla Internet of Things technology has added some practical benefits.
1. It can save at least 10%~30% energy, because it will only be heated when the user gives the demand instruction. At the moment when all kinds of energy resources are tight, IoT has not only brought new business opportunities to traditional enterprises, but also excavated a "new skill" for energy conservation. Other facilities can also use the Aquanta water heater controller as a part of the project to achieve the purpose of energy saving and effectively avoid the overload of the power grid.
2. It can be conveniently installed on the existing gas or electric water heater at home, and accurately measure the energy entering the water heater and the energy used, and can also obtain the user’s usage habit information according to the user’s actual usage mode.
Transforming tradition, IoT is infiltrating into various fields.
Matt Carlson, CEO of Aquanta, said: "In North America, home users and small businesses add up to 125 million water heaters. No one can turn these inefficient devices into smart grids by providing convenient modified equipment like us. Ayla provides a comprehensive IoT platform technology that meets our needs, allowing us to meet all the impossibilities with a low-cost and efficient model. By introducing Ayla’s Internet of Things technology, we have made clumsy water heaters smart, helped users save energy and money, and helped the emerging smart grid become a reality. "
Aquanta’s improved intelligent control system for water heaters is one of the recent cases in which Ayla Internet of Things technology helps manufacturers in various fields to join the growing Internet of Things market and create value for themselves and customers. In fact, many smart home products have been built by using Ayla Internet of Things platform technology recently, including Hunter Fan ceiling fan, Fujitsu General air conditioner, Kidde fire protection equipment, LockState access control system and Dimplex electric heater. ……
Ayla Internet of Things platform can provide integrated device, cloud and mobile application connections for any type of products. Ayla enables manufacturers to introduce safe and reliable networked products to the market in the shortest time and with the least cost and energy, and enhance the new competitiveness of enterprises in all aspects through the live information obtained from the data generated by networked devices.
Ayla Networks is the world’s leading enterprise-level IoT cloud platform service provider, focusing on the research of IoT solutions in smart homes, smart buildings, consumer electronics, retail and service providers. Founded in 2010, Ayla Networks is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA, and its business service outlets cover Europe, China, Taiwan Province, Japan and other parts of the world. Chinese mainland Branch is located in the emerging Silicon Valley of China "Shenzhen". In June 2016, the company officially completed the $39 million Series C financing of well-known investment institutions such as Anci Capital, Sannuo Group, Safran Asia Fund, Cisco, IFC, Linear Capital, Mitsui Consortium, Acorn Pacific, Voyager Capital and SJF Ventures.
