Will you use my broadband?
Yes, we will connect to your broadband to communicate with the units. We'll directly connect to your router to avoid WiFi interference and most of the time the unit will simply be sending some monitoring information (temperatures / fan speeds etc) back to base, so you shouldn't notice any impact. We'll occasionally perform speed tests, and limit any larger uploads and downloads to a fraction of this so we'll never use too much of your bandwidth. We'll also schedule these overnight so it shouldn't affect your daytime speeds. Our intention is that you won't notice - one of the things we'll be doing during the trial is getting your feedback on if we've achieved this. In the future we plan to install a dedicated fibre or 4G/5G connection for the heata unit.
