USE CASE : smart control of heating of dishes in satellite teleports

I saw a nice and simple, but very effective automation with DataMiner, done by a major teleport operator.  The dishes in a teleport have a heating system in area's where it can freeze and/or snow.  Because the latter could affect the quality of the uplink/downlink.

Before DataMiner was in place, those systems were simply manually switched on or off, i.e. an all or nothing type of situation.  And this while these systems can consume quite a bit of power, as they need to heat quite big surfaces.

With DataMiner they implemented some basic logic to switch the heating systems on and off periodically at different time intervals, to save quite a bit on consumption for situations where full heating was definitely an overkill.  Also they cycled from one antenna to the other, to have more continuous consumption, instead of high peak demands.

I believe they also had other plans to further automate it with data from their weather station, to make sure that it was only used when needed (because in the past it was often switched on way too long).

That is really interesting and reminded me of Starlink dishes that have a Snow Melt mode.
Not sure how it works or what sensors they use but I guess it is a use case that can be expanded to more things where proper temperature management leads to more efficiency like telecommunications or battery management
