Feature 01

🌡 Auto-Melt

The brain of the system. HeatBots combines several inputs to decide when your heat tape actually needs to run — and shuts it off the second it doesn't.

Roof-edge temperature sensor — knows when ice formation is possible.
Ambient + moisture monitoring — distinguishes a dry cold from an ice-forming cold.
Smart cycling — short, effective bursts instead of 24/7 burn.
Custom thresholds — tuned to your roof, your climate, your tolerance.

Feature 02

📱 Remote Control & Alerts

See your roof from anywhere. Manually override before a storm. Get pinged if anything goes sideways.

Live power draw — watch the tape ramp up and ramp down in real time.
Manual override — preheat before a big storm, or force off during a maintenance day.
Push alerts — internet down? heat-tape breaker tripped? you'll know within seconds.
Monthly summary — kWh used, dollars saved, runtime hours.

Feature 03

📶 Local-Intranet Fallback

A smart thermostat that needs the internet to stay safe is a bad thermostat. HeatBots runs on its own local intranet — your roof doesn't care about your ISP.

Offline-first logic — Auto-Melt runs locally, not in the cloud.
Storm-resilient — when power flickers and your modem reboots for ten minutes, HeatBots keeps working.
Self-healing — when internet returns, app reconnects automatically.
Buffer logging — runtime and energy data are stored locally, then sync when online.

Why HeatBots

Smarter than a thermostat-on-a-timer

There are a few ways to "control" heat tape. None of them match what HeatBots does.

⏱

Old timer / manual switch

You flip it on in November, off in April. Burns full power for 5 months — most of which is wasted.

🌡

Dumb thermostat

Powers tape whenever it's cold. Doesn't know if ice is actually forming. Runs 18+ hours a day all winter.
