A hot water supply device comprising:
- a water heater and a remote controller;
- a first device performing control related to hot water supply;
- a second device connected to be able to communicate with the first device and performing control related to hot water supply;
- and
- a communication unit provided in the first device and able to be connected to an external communication network, wherein
- the first device divides data of control software of the second device acquired from an external device via the communication unit into a plurality of pieces and transmits the divided data to the second device,
- wherein the first device divides the data of the control software so that a transmission time of a separate unit of the data of the control software is shorter than one cycle of regular communication performed between the water heater and the remote controller connected to the water heater.
