Temperature control

Set schedules and adjust temps remotely for consistent comfort and efficiency.

Smart alerts

Critical alerts

Get notified when temperatures drift outside your thresholds so you can act fast.

Cost visibility

Cost visibility

Track usage and optimize settings to lower energy costs without sacrificing performance.

Smart automation features

Geo-fencing automation

Thermostats adjust automatically when you arrive at or leave your business. No manual changes needed—the system knows when to save energy and when to prepare for your arrival.

Security integration

When you arm your security system, thermostats automatically switch to energy-saving setback temperatures. Disarm in the morning and the space starts warming up before you arrive.

Humidity monitoring

Track humidity levels alongside temperature. Critical for warehouses, medical offices, wine storage, and any space where humidity affects inventory or comfort.

Multi-location comparison

Compare energy usage and temperature patterns across all your locations. Identify which sites are running efficiently and which need attention.

Lighting schedules

Automate lights to turn on before opening and off after closing. Tie lighting to your security schedule so lights respond to arm/disarm events automatically.

Peak demand management

Reduce energy costs during high-rate periods by automatically adjusting thermostats and non-essential loads. Lower your utility bills without impacting operations.
