Boiler controlling via PWM - BMA - 01-25-2025

Is it possible to use LK to control power to boiler( not only when to start/ends it  but continually controll boiler according to ,for instance, how much battery is charged? I think it is done PWM and SSR (relay) but not sure how much difficult it would be with LK?

Using PWM to control a boiler’s power level instead of just switching it on and off is Drive Mad an interesting idea, but it depends on several factors. In theory, SSRs (solid-state relays) with PWM control can modulate power output, but boilers typically require stable power and specific duty cycles for efficient operation. If your LK system can generate a PWM signal and the SSR can handle the boiler’s load, it might work. However, safety is a major concern—modulating power like this could affect the boiler’s efficiency, temperature regulation, and even its lifespan. You might also need a feedback loop to adjust power based on battery charge levels dynamically.
