The Heat Control app enables the time programming of selected thermostats. Thus, individual temperature intervals can be created for each day, which allow an optimal adjustment of the room temperature. This way, you can use your infrared heater to heat even more efficiently and comfortably. Simply start the app on the phone and connect via Bluetooth® to the suitable thermostat. After a successful connection, the Heat Control app makes it easy to create your own personal temperature intervals for every single day. These temperature intervals ensure targeted control of the infrared heaters and thus ensure maximum comfort with the greatest possible savings. Do you have questions about the app?
