MCZ Group SPA is one of the leading suppliers of pellet products which all share the same DNA: innovation and design. Via the GPRS modem connected to the stove’s electronic board, you can carry out basic tasks to control the product remotely, check its operating status and receive a text message in the event of an alarm. All tasks are performed by simply sending an SMS message and the modem replies with an SMS message or rings once or several times. By downloading this APP, text messages are created automatically and interaction with the GPRS modem is very user-friendly, quick and error-proof. The APP has pre-written SMS messages and the various tasks can be easily identified without having to check the manual. To download this APP and ensure it works properly, you need to purchase the GPRS modem, which is compatible with products with the Active+ system to control combustion. Check the network coverage in the area where the product is installed before launching the APP.
