This residential thermostat is engineered and designed to integrate with any conventionally wired HVAC system. Near field communication, a set of short-range wireless technologies, and a dedicated distributor app allow the contractor to preconfigure settings before arriving at a residence.

While some consumers want geofencing to control their thermostat, others want to simply set it and forget it. Thermostat manufacturers are learning that they need to be all things to all people.

Are you seeing more homeowners buy or express interest in a smart or connected thermostat?

TEC3000 Series thermostat controllers load all configuration files and parameters at once using a USB stick. 

The Skyport™ mobile app allows users to control Venstar’s ColorTouch^® or Voyager thermostats with built-in Wi-Fi control. 

Smart thermostats may not always be the best option for everyone. For many, a simpler thermostat without the bells and whistles is all they need and want.

In just a few short years, a thermostat with Wi-Fi connectivity went from a novel concept to an expectation. And, with consumers demanding more and more from the devices in their increasingly smarter homes, it’s clear the market will only continue to grow and change.
