SALUS UNLEASHES THE FIRST-EVER INTERNET-ENABLED WIRELESS

THERMOSTAT

Renowned for its pioneering designs, Salus has taken another giant leap to revolutionising

the worldwide heating controls market with the launch of the iT500 – the first ever internet-

enabled thermostat with wireless capabilities. Designed to operate via wi-fi and

smartphones, this remarkable product offers homeowners full remote control and flexibility

of their hot water and heating needs from anywhere in the world.

The iT500 features a touch sensitive master control unit that can be positioned anywhere in

the home, both table top or wall mounted, to sense the room temperature. Boasting a

contemporary slimline design with a unique black LCD, this unit operates in conjunction

with an exclusively designed Salus app that can be downloaded via both iTunes and

Android stores. This enables users to take full control of their hot water and heating

programmes - including holiday and frost modes - by selecting various options via their

smartphone or PC to enable the perfect temperature to be set at the required time.

Fully endorsed by the Energy Savings Trust (EST), this phenomenal product not only comes

at a competitive price, it offers improved comfort and flexibility, and will play a significant

role in helping reduce home heating costs.

Commenting on this latest development, Salus’ Managing Director, Dean Jepson, said:

“With 90% of UK landline owners possessing a smartphone, it seemed logical for Salus to

devise a product that can be fully controlled with a smartphone or a PC, at any time and

from anywhere.”

Dean adds: “Having revolutionised the controls market with the introduction of ‘touch ring’

technology, we are confident that the iT500 will take heating controls to a whole new level.

Without doubt, it will become a popular choice for installers and homeowners alike, as they

quickly realise the freedom and benefits of this revolutionary technology.”

Salus has also taken customer service to a whole new level by offering superior online IT

backup and service to assist users of the iT500 with any technical issues. With prior

permission, engineers will even be able to access the users’ smartphone or PC to address

problems via a one-off code that automatically defaults after use.

The new iT500 is available alongside Salus’ existing range of thermostats that features

programmers; electronic, RF, cylinder and frost thermostats, together with a line-up of

bypass valves, wiring centres, TRVs and control packs. All products are available via the

company’s nationwide network of merchants and distributors.
