Hi, this is my first question here coming to you all from Los Angeles, CA... Insight or thoughts helpful... Did some google searches, but nothing very confidence building... Also converses with Stefan of Loxone US, who didn't have any particular brand suggestions...
A vendor called Steamist allows their proprietary control system to be run from both the crestron and control4 with drivers.
Codes and UL listings are always in play in new construction, and much of the time safety for something like a steam sauna is important... Our electric here is 240V single phase 60Hz AC so any steam generator we use must use work with the US electric. For that reason, we might be forced to use already engineered systems rather than components, but maybe not...
All that aside,... The question is when using Loxone, what is the best way to implement a steam Sauna?
All you sauna enthusiasts out there have probably already thought about how you could control your sauna using Loxone. So let me explain to you how to get it done real easy.
Total costs (list price):
1x Loxone control (relay, digital input, analogue input) 49,75 €
1x temperature sensor 49,00 €
1x overheating guard STP
1x power contractor ca. 10 €
1x reed contact ca. 0,7 €
1x adhesive magnet ca. 1 €
Total costs just over 100 €
Anyway, the job electrician has hooked up Steam Saunas before, and our vendor is suggesting US companies, Mr. Steam, Steamist, and Thermasol. But again, it seems we just need a reliable steam generator, and loxone can control (with some back up safety shut offs), and perhaps a simple control to use in addition to the Loxone...
The thing is being able to warm up the steam shower before use and ensure it's off (with a fail safe time out) is kind of important.
