Manage your Herschel infrared heating system from anywhere. Infrasense connects to your Herschel Infrared systems over WiFi, giving you real-time control of temperatures, power levels, and schedules across every zone in your building. CONTROL Set target temperatures with a simple dial or switch to manual power levels. Control individual panels or entire zones at once. Changes take effect immediately. MONITOR See live readings from every panel: current temperature, heating state, room occupancy, and connection status. Know at a glance which zones are comfortable and which need attention. SCHEDULE Create heating schedules for zones or individual devices. Set repeat patterns so your building is warm when it needs to be and saving energy when it doesn't. ZONES & DEVICES Organise your heating by building and zone. Search across all your devices by name or serial number. Drill into any panel for detailed status and sensor readings. BUILT FOR INFRARED Infrared heating warms surfaces and people directly rather than heating the air. Infrasense takes advantage of this with presence-aware control and smart temperature targeting, maintaining comfort precisely where it's needed. Requires Herschel Infrared systems with Infrasense controls and an active Infrasense account. Contact your installer or Herschel Infrared for setup.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: InfraSense at monthly against Bluespark's every 7 months. Bluespark's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
