  • Patent number: 11367334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring a base device (11), in particular a building or part of a building or a vehicle, by means of a mobile terminal (10), wherein the base device (11) has at least one heating device, in particular with a temperature sensor, comprising the steps: determining a current state of the base device (11) by means of the heating device, in particular comprising determining a current temperature at or in the base device (11) by the temperature sensor of the heating device and/or determining an energy supply of the heating device, checking whether the current state is a normal state or an abnormal state and/or whether the current change in state is a normal change in state or an abnormal change in state, and outputting of corresponding information to the mobile terminal (10) and/or by said mobile terminal, at least when an abnormal state and/or an abnormal change in state is detected.

  • Patent number: 11161391
    Abstract: A method for operating a fuel-operated vehicle heater, wherein after receipt of a switch-off signal by a control unit of the fuel-operated vehicle heater, a shutdown phase is initiated, during which remaining fuel present in the fuel-operated vehicle heater is combusted, and wherein a restart phase is initiated by the control unit after receipt of a switch-on signal during the shutdown phase, without the shutdown phase being terminated after complete combustion of the remaining fuel.
