When it comes to picking wireless devices for the smart home, your selection is typically determined by the technology used—and your budget. However, Venstar doesn’t want to limit the potential audience for its latest lineup of smart thermostats.
With each of the Voyager’s seven smart thermostats, you can actually choose how you want to connect: WiFi, ZigBee or Z-Wave. Just add one of Venstar’s optional wireless modules. Once connected, you can tap into each thermostat from in and outside of the house, in order to cut energy costs or just to make the house how you like it.
The Venstar Skyport Cloud Services app is available for iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices. The app provides access to remote controls, as well as energy info on the fly.
Other features across the Voyager line include easy-to-read displays, adjustable backlight intensity, color-coded buttons and legends, as well as support for gas, electric or heat pump systems, including multi-stage setups.
Three of the Voyager smart thermostats offer a choice of 7-day, 5+2 day or 1-day programming. Model T3700 has two heat stages and one for coolling. Model T3800 features four heat stages, one cooling, and controls to monitor a second temperature sensor, setpoint limiting and smart recovery. And finally, Model T3900 is dual-fuel capable, with controls for humidification/dehumidification and the option to lock out auxiliary heat based on outdoor temperature. The company also offers three models of commercial thermostats, with a fourth designed specifically for schools.
“Ease of use and affordability are big factors for today’s business and residential owners—especially for those managing temperature and energy usage in multiple locations,” said Steve Dushane, president and CEO of Venstar Inc. “Venstar’s new line of Voyager thermostats puts the latest in fully featured, connected indoor comfort control within reach.”
Venstar is selling Voyager smart thermostats through the company’s network of wholesale HVAC distributors and online. Contact Voyager for pricing and purchase information.
