Today I take a look at a fancy smart far infrared panel heater sent to me by AENO ‪@aenoglobal‬. It is WiFi connected and compatible with Tuya SmartLife meaning it integrates nicely with Home Assistant too. I test out its heating performance using ‪@Aqara‬ zigbee temperature and humidity sensors.

Thanks for your detailed review, the only one found for this unit that measured temperature gains and discussed the downsides in graph form. Also, it’s too bad your wife didn’t like the look of it… wondering if you’d part with it for a fair price to make her happy - I’d be delighted to take it off your hands!

Infrared heaters are basically light bulbs for a specific long wavelength of light. As such the intensity of that light (heat) decreases at the same rate as light does from the source. It's called the "inverse square law": 1 over the square of the distance. So yeah, expect exponential drop off as you move away from it. Conductive or convective can me more effective. Or you can use a parabolic reflector to reduce the drop with distance.

700W of input gives you very nearly 700W of heat output, regardless of the kind of heat..
@Leo99929
@Leo99929 6 месяцев назад
@@MikeGleesonazelectrics It gives you 700W of heat. Even light is absorbed by surfaces and turns into heat. Even sound is absorbed by surfaces and turns into heat. But if that 700W heats the thing that you need heating is another matter. Think about this: You put in a 3kW IR heater on your patio. You're barely comfortable with it, and it's uneven with one side of you a lot warmer than the other. You put on a 50W (0.05kW) heated jacket and you're a lot more evenly heated and for a fraction of the energy usage. Electrical heating element efficiency might be 100% regardless of the implementation, but it's application rarely ever is.

@Leo99929 4 месяца назад
@@nickwulf can you be more specific? It's a pretty simple concept: All electric heaters are (approximately) "100% efficient" meaning 100% of the watts you put in, end up as heat. Caveat to that being an electric heat pump that can potentially emit up to 5W for every 1W you put in. However, in this instance what we really care about is the thermal comfort of a person in a room. if you sit in front of an old window and point an IR heater at you then most of that heat heats the windows or goes through them and is lost to the environment. But if you wear a heated jacket then you don't waste all the heat that doesn't land on the person, so you don't need to use as much power to keep a person comfortable. As for why an IR heater feels exponentially less warm per unit distance away from it: Draw a 1cm square on a deflated balloon. You don't get more balloon material when you inflate it, it just gets thinner. So now inflate it and that square still contains the same amount of material, but is much bigger, meaning that it's less dense. The same is true for light: Shine a torch at a wall point blank and it's SUPER bright. point it at a building tens of meters away and you might not even be able to see it. Fancy torches use lenses to try and minimise the amount the light spreads out and maintain a narrower more constant brightness beam. IR heaters don't have lenses like this, so they spread their heat out generally more like a candle than a torch.

These are ok for very specific user cases. But bare in mind (is that the right sort of bear?) that it’s 5°C right now where I am, and for 1000W I’m heating a 125 sqm house with a heat pump.

Yes my main heating is an ASHP too which these won’t beat on efficiency. They are handy for supplemental heating where heat pumps aren’t yet practical though.

I liked the upping your game with temperature sensors, but balancing them on corks. Infra red heaters, don’t they work by generating radiant heat that heats the object rather than the air in between? So your tests may be getting lowish results because they’re air temperature sensors. Not sure how you get an accurate reading though, put the sensor inside an apple? Dunno. Tuya is easy to setup and use but not perfect integrating with home assistant. The cloud integration works ok, but it’s just that, cloud based. I personally found Tuya local to be lengthy to setup and when I did get there I found it was reduced features so went back to the cloud.
@SpeakToTheGeekTech
@SpeakToTheGeekTech 6 месяцев назад
The corks were necessary to both lift the sensors into the direct path of the panel, and to insulate them from the cold tile floor. When you place them on a surface they are extremely influenced by the temperature of that surface - I used them around my house too and it makes a difference if they're placed on an internal vs external wall! Tuya local *can* be a lengthy process to set up I agree, it really does depend on the device and it's hit and miss. Heaters in particular can be a pain to get working locally because of the vast number of sensors and controls you have to map. Tuya are, annoyingly for local-advocates such as ourselves, very reliable in terms of their cloud availability! When I get chance I will get it working fully locally and post a pinned comment with the datapoints people need.

If your home can't be insulated for some obscure reason, you have to accept higher heating costs. Not heating your house will result in condensation and mold issues. Most houses can be insulated though. You'd have to have a very specific reason not to be able to insulate. Homes can be insulated internally with dry lining or externally with "wrapping" .

Kinda bummed regarding results. I wanted to mount this on the wall above a nightstand situated behind the head of a twin bed which runs the length of the back wall, hoping that it would both keep me warm as well sufficiently heat the rest of the unit. I just can't seem to determine, however, what type of heater, be it an oscillating ceramic, oil-filled radiator, fan generated etc. with thermostatic control, would be best for this unit which has no heat source of its own. Still, might this AEON work for me considering that I live in a Mediterranean like climate (San Francisco, CA) where the temperature gets in to the 30s-40s (farenheit) only during the coldest months, but otherwise hovers in the low 50s at night?
@SpeakToTheGeekTech

Personally speaking, I think these sort of infrared heaters are great as an additional heat source to replace a fan heater or similar, or for unconventional spaces (such as churches and halls) which require locational heating. Given your situation where you only require occasional heating, I'd say infrared panels would probably be suitable. However this particular model may not be powerful enough for a whole room or large area. Also when you say behind the head of the bed, this is probably not a good place for it. It would be very close to you to start with, and shouldn't be covered up at all. In a bedroom you are best mounting a couple on the ceiling, or at the opposite end of the room to your head (depending on the length of the room of course). There are companies that specialise in infrared heater placement that you may find helpful to contact, although I don't have any recommendations.

Got this 2 weeks ago, and while it's beautifully built it's not amazing at actually heating a space. I've a 200sqft insulated outside office, gets down to 0 on cold nights, after two hours room goes to 4 degrees. But for low energy heat and you sit right in it, then it does what it says.
@SpeakToTheGeekTech
@SpeakToTheGeekTech 6 месяцев назад
I agree, it would not heat a room that size at all and it's not designed to on its own. As a freestanding heater for a couple of people sitting on a sofa it's great, but if you're heating a whole room and expecting warm air then there are quicker and more efficient ways of doing that, or you'd need a lot more panels!

It really depends on the space and your needs/expectations. For example, in my little 2m x 2m study a 220w infrared panel heater is perfect. But in our larger conservatory (8m x 6m I think) that wouldn't even touch the sides - the 500w or 700w panels would keep you warm if close to you and pointing directly at you, but it wouldn't heat the whole room or anyone else in it! In my conservatory, if I want to use it, I use a 2kw convection heater. Expensive, but it rapidly gets the air up to temperature (25 minutes ish). In a 200sqft office that you mention, you need a lot of power to heat all of that air. Either several small infrared panels all strategically placed to heat the individuals working in their various locations... or an air-to-air heat pump unit if you want the whole space up to temperature as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Infrared heaters are weird. They don't heat the air, they heat up things (furniture, the floor, walls) which then radiate that heat into the air. Maybe having it sat pointing into empty space like that isn't the ideal set up?

I've got two 800w Herschel IR panels. No comment on Herschel, but the heaters are a bag of crap. Absolutely no benefit in these for hearing over much smarter and effective electric convection radiators. We have several and they modulate down to a few hundred watts once a room is up to temp. They'll be getting replaced with either a2a or a2w in the very near future
@SpeakToTheGeekTech
@SpeakToTheGeekTech 6 месяцев назад
There’s no denying that a2a or a2w are going to be considerably more efficient than direct electrical heating solutions. I would always advocate those as a first choice wherever possible. I do still stand by a small portable infrared heater as being a great choice for keeping me warm in my study while I’m working though.
