Alpha has just launched the Alpha Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat—a new wireless solution which the company says has been designed to allow users to have complete control over heating at home or on the go.
Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, Alpha Touch allows users to adjust the temperature through its app. Its geolocation fencing automatically adjusts heating when users arrive or leave home, and its optimised start feature ensures the heating system is ready when needed – designed to reduce energy waste and maximise energy efficiency.
Its OpenTherm compatibility allows for integration with new and existing heating systems.
Darran Smith, Technical Manager at Alpha commented: “The Alpha Touch takes heating control one step further. It’s a completely wireless system that gives occupants complete control of their heating via the app whether they’re at home or out and about. For specifiers, it’s the ideal thermostat control for projects where energy efficiency, ease of installation, and smart integration are priorities.”
The Alpha Touch is Boiler Plus compliant, offering several features designed to meet the demands of new build, retrofit, and refurbishment projects. Its environmental adjustment feature provides occupants thermal comfort whilst reducing energy waste and heating costs. It can also be set in holiday mode, which keeps the property at the comfortable temperature while occupants are away, saving energy.
