About this tag
The real-time clock (RTC) tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using RTC hardware in embedded systems and home automation projects. One thread describes a .NET Micro Framework project that uses a real-time clock to schedule a gas water heater, reducing energy consumption by heating water only during peak usage hours. This demonstrates practical applications of RTCs for time-based control in energy-saving scenarios, particularly with older hardware. The tag may also relate to Windows or .NET development for microcontroller platforms, but the primary focus is on leveraging RTCs for efficient scheduling in custom automation solutions.

VIDEO Saving energy with the .NET Micro Framework
Our home is equipped with a relatively old gas heater, built in 1996. It still works great, has been serviced regularly since it was installed and there is no good reason to replace it yet. However, it isn’t as energy efficient as more recent models. The other aspect of this gas water heater is...- News
