Smart technology enables the second generation Coleman touch-screen thermostat from Johnson Controls to communicate with both conventional and connected HVAC systems.
The thermostat allows contractors to sell a single thermostat solution across multiple product tiers and offer owners a complete Coleman home comfort system. Easy installation and performance are experienced thanks to Johnson Controls’ expertise in building automation. Near field communication, a set of short-range wireless technologies and a dedicated distributor app, available on Android-equipped devices, allow contractors to preconfigure settings before arriving. They can also control fault features to help eliminate nuisance calls.
Owners will enjoy several features:
- A touch-screen proprietary hexagon interface
- The ability to connect to their HVAC system via their smartphones or tablets
- A quick heat and quick cool feature for short-term, high-capacity heating or cooling to reach set points more quickly and is optimized to provide ENERGY STAR performance when connected to select Coleman home comfort systems.
- Alerts sent to the owner when maintenance is required
- Contractor contact information available through the app, when that information is uploaded
