WiFi controlled programmable thermostat for integration with the ClickSmart+ App. The Fort smart thermostat allows you to control and monitor the room temperature and thermostat activity from anywhere in the world, via a smart phone. It is controlled through the subscription-free ClickSmart+ app from Scolmore, which offers users control of a raft of connected home and security products all from one secure, easy to access platform. As more and more households are seeing the benefit of smart devices to control various elements in the home – so too the demand for smart controls that can help with energy saving in particular is on the increase. ESP’s Fort smart thermostat offers energy efficient programming and with remote access via the APP, it allows for constant monitoring and control at your fingertips. It can also be voice controlled through Alexa and Google Assistant. It has been designed to be straightforward to install and operate and is suitable for electric, gas or oil systems. A boiler can be controlled either by wiring into the Fort thermostat or the thermostat’s receiver - giving full installation flexibility. Key features: Optimal start function – this ensures that the optimum temperature conditions are achieved at the required times. The boiler is gradually fired as the set time is approached, as opposed to large, inefficient surges and demand for heat at the scheduled time. This energy efficiency feature adjusts the start time of the heating system depending upon how cold it is. For example, on cold days the heating system will be started earlier to ensure the home is warm at the scheduled time and on warmer days the heating system will be started later to save energy. Open window/door detection – this uses sudden changes in temperature or humidity to detect if a window is open and switches off for a while to save energy. For example, if the room temperature drops significantly, within 3 minutes the thermostat will stop a call for heat. The thermostat will then resume the call for heat if, either the temperature recovers, or 30 minutes elapses. The new smart thermostat has a slimline, contemporary design, with a touch button for manual control and a clear LED display. It features a keylock facility to avoid any buttons being pressed accidentally or by children. It comes complete with table stand or wall mount option.
