Automation tuning
Automation tuning is the point where engineering systems start working “as intended”. Even good equipment can behave poorly due to wrong setpoints, mode logic or sensors. We tune automation so the climate becomes stable and predictable, without overheating and “swings”.
What we tune
- Temperature/humidity setpoints and the logic to reach them (without harsh overshoot).
- Mode scenarios: day/night/away/ventilation/guests.
- Sensors: reading correctness, placement, verifying external influences.
- Actuators: valves, dampers, drives, pumps, fans.
- System interaction: ventilation + heating + air conditioning.
- Safety parameters: alarms, timeouts, protections by temperature/pressure.
- Noise and comfort optimization: soft starts, speed limits.
- Verification of real behavior in different scenarios.
Common errors we fix
Wrong setpoints
Overheating/overcooling and instability due to overly aggressive control.
Logic conflict
Systems fight: one heats while another cools — comfort is never achieved.
Sensors “in the wrong place”
Automation “sees” the wrong thing and controls incorrectly — we fix placement and tuning.
Tuning result
- Stable modes without sharp swings and unnecessary noise.
- Clear scenarios for the owner: what turns on and why.
- Lower energy consumption thanks to correct logic and setpoints.
- Operating recommendations and seasonal switching guidance.
- A list of points worth monitoring in the future.
- Optional — a follow-up check after a period of real operation.
What is needed for tuning
- Equipment list and current setpoints/scenarios (if already configured).
- Access to control cabinets/controllers and sensor installation locations.
- Owner preferences: “quieter at night”, “faster warm-up”, “away mode”.
- Actual complaints: where it overheats, dries, where it is noisy.
- Who changed settings before (to account for hidden constraints).
- Ability to test different modes on site.
