In addition to comfort, the intelligent control of your home also means that you only heat when you want it and, thanks to individual room control, only in the rooms you select. This saves you energy and money. With the option of group switching of several thermostats, you can, for example, control or program an entire floor or all bedrooms at the same time with the push of a button.
