Emerson Announces New Wi-Fi
Enabled Thermostat.
New Sensi™ thermostat offers contractors simple
set-up, unique branding opportunities.
Emerson today introduced the Sensi™
thermostat, which features remote access from a smart phone, tablet
or PC. The Sensi thermostat will be manufactured and marketed by
White-Rodgers, a business unit of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and part of
the Emerson Climate Technologies business segment.
The launch of the Sensi thermostat
represents Emerson’s first focus for the connected home, offering
homeowners a simple and sensible approach to controlling the
temperature in their home anytime, anywhere. For contractors, the
Sensi thermostat provides a new business opportunity to sell a Wi-Fi
enabled thermostat that is easy to install and easy to connect, at a
price similar to comparable standard thermostats today.
“The Sensi thermostat is Wi-Fi enabled to give consumers instant
access to their home’s heating and cooling systems. With this new
thermostat from Emerson, homes can be comfortable when you’re there,
smart when you’re not so you never come home to any unhappy
surprises,” said Geoff Godwin, vice president of marketing,
White-Rodgers.
As with most of the company’s other thermostats the Sensi thermostat
will meet the tight temperature control required to be Energy Aware
certified. It can be hardwired for power or use two replaceable AA
batteries for most applications. “Our long history as an industry
leading furnace control manufacturer and Emerson’s expertise in
power management and system connectivity were instrumental in
bringing this product to market,” Godwin said.
“We believe homeowners and contractors will appreciate the simple
approach we took to create the thermostat on the wall, and will
really be impressed with the results we achieved in the design of
the installation and control app. While designed with the end
consumer in mind we did not forget that contractors are vital to the
success of any thermostat product,” Godwin added. The Sensi
thermostat stores and provides single touch access for a homeowner
to reach the registered installing contractor if any issues arise
with the system.” Story
