Making Outdoor Infrared Heaters Actually “Smart”

When people talk about smart home heaters, they usually focus on the app. But if you’re putting these outdoors, the app is the easy part. The real challenge is the hardware. Think about it. When you hit a button on your phone to warm up the patio, you’re asking for a massive, instant surge of electricity to hit those infrared elements. That’s a lot of power moving very quickly.

Dealing with the Elements

We build these things to IP65 standards because, frankly, gardens are brutal. Rain, wind, and dust don’t play nice with electronics. Without those tight seals, moisture creeps into the terminals, and the moment you flip the switch, you’ve got a short circuit. Not a great way to start a party. Then there’s the heat itself. Most heaters try to warm up the air around you, which is a losing battle outdoors. These use infrared radiation. It travels in a straight line and hits you instantly. We use quartz or halogen tubes so you aren’t standing there shivering for ten minutes waiting for the unit to “warm up.” It’s on. Fast.
