Radar sensors detect occupancy room by room, adjusting heat based on absence time

System pre-heats living room when family returns; hot water ready 10 minutes ahead of use

Kiturami has unveiled an AI boiler system that detects whether anyone is in each room of a home, automatically adjusts heating temperatures and predicts when hot water will be needed. Rooms with no occupants are kept at lower temperatures, and when family members return home, the living room is heated first.

The company announced Monday the launch of the Kiturami Boiler AI Room-by-Room Heating System, which integrates AI heating and hot water control into its premium gas boiler, the Geokuro NEW Condensing L10.

At the heart of the system are radar sensors built into the thermostat installed in each room. When a sensor detects occupancy, the AI analyzes the data and adjusts the heating temperature for that space. The system is designed so users do not need to set heating schedules or temperatures separately for each room.

AI is also applied to hot water management. The "Hot Water AI Mode" analyzes hot water usage patterns over the previous six days, dividing each 24-hour period into 144 ten-minute intervals.

Based on that analysis, the boiler pre-heats about 10 minutes before hot water use is anticipated, reducing wait time. Older usage data is discarded and replaced with more recent patterns, allowing the system to adapt to changes in household routines.

Kiturami had earlier introduced a smart hot water feature with the 2022 launch of the Geokuro NEW Condensing L10, which learned hot water usage times and pre-heated the heat exchanger in advance — at that time, pre-heating began about 30 minutes before anticipated use. The new system shortens the pre-heating window to about 10 minutes and combines it with room-by-room occupancy detection, expanding AI control across both heating and hot water.

The AI feature activates when the user presses the "AI button" on the room thermostat. Lifestyle pattern analysis runs within the thermostat's own system, which then automatically controls boiler operation based on the results.

The system has received KTR-AI certification from the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR), according to Kiturami. The KTR-AI certification evaluates the functional suitability, reliability and usability of software and products that incorporate AI technology.

Ahead of the official launch, Kiturami began running an advertising campaign titled "Boilers Enter the AI Era" on Oct. 1 and held a pre-order sales period through Thursday.

"The AI Room-by-Room Heating System focuses on enabling the boiler to independently assess the user's hot water habits and the lifestyle patterns of each room to provide a customized heating environment," a Kiturami official said. "We will continue developing it into an AI boiler that combines low-storage heating and hot water technology with artificial intelligence to deliver a comfortable and efficient living environment."
