LONDON–March 25, 2021– nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, is pleased to announce an innovative update to its premium nVent RAYCHEM SENZ WIFI electric underfloor heating thermostat, which enables homeowners to control their floor heating using voice commands via a smartphone app or home hub device. The new feature combines the energy-efficient, adaptable control of the SENZ WIFI thermostat with the cutting-edge convenience of leading digital assistants and smart speaker devices, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, as well as the Amazon Echo and Google Home smart speaker ranges. This advanced integration gives homeowners the ultimate freedom to control their heating hands-free, and adds the benefits of premium electric underfloor heating to their ‘smart’ home network.
“Whether it’s catching up on the day’s news, keeping track of recipe steps or reminding us to re-stock the refrigerator - many of us have come to rely on digital assistants and smart speakers to help us more easily manage our daily lives,” says Thomas Vranken, nVent Marketing Manager. “We’re therefore delighted to offer smart-device integration and voice command capabilities via the latest update to the SENZ WIFI thermostat. Through this enhanced connectivity, we not only hope to add to the many unique benefits of electric underfloor heating, but also make them more convenient and easier to access than ever before.”
Originally launched in 2016, the SENZ thermostat range brought smart, connected and customizable heating to the home, offering users adaptive energy saving modes, an intuitive touch-screen user interface and the ability to manually manage electric underfloor heating on-the-go from a smartphone or tablet. In line with the continued rise of ‘smart homes’ and the Internet of Things (IoT), the addition of digital assistant and smart device connectivity now allows homeowners to control their heating using voice commands to their smartphone, tablet or smart speaker. This, combined with the SENZ WIFI’s ability to program up to 100 separate heating zones and provide weekly, monthly and yearly energy monitoring, gives homeowners the option to verbally set customized heating patterns for individual rooms and easily track their energy usage for optimal flexibility and energy efficiency, without compromising on comfort.
