This application can be used on all new BRISACH stoves that are equipped with a control panel with WiFi receiver (for example: NAGANO, SOTCHI, etc.). This technology is designed to improve operation of pellet products and allow them to be controlled using the on-board control panel or from your smartphone, thanks to WiFi technology and a connection that connects the device to the Internet. Through this app it is easy to carry out all operations remotely like, for example, choosing the operating power, the room temperature or the ventilation power. The very simple interface also allows you to program the thermostat, the Ecostop or all of the more advanced features, in addition to controlling the operating status of the product itself.
