MONTREAL, March 1, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - °STELPRO, a leading Canadian manufacturer of integrated heating solutions, extends its commitment to smart home automation by launching MAESTRO®, the smart thermostat compatible with zoned electrical equipment. Simple and intuitive, MAESTRO® is designed to fit the lifestyle of consumers, thanks to a variety of custom features such as geo-fencing, anticipated start, personalized activities and grouping of rooms into zones. In addition to easily managed and personalized home heating, MAESTRO® allows consumers to significantly reduce energy costs and save on their electricity bill.
Orchestrating comfort at home, MAESTRO® controls the thermostats of the house that are connected and compatible with all electric heaters, such as baseboards, convectors and fan heaters. The smart thermostat gives households full control over their comfort according to their lifestyle, allowing to adjust the temperature of each room depending on their activity for a given period of time. With its unique geo-fencing feature, MAESTRO® detects when an occupant arrives or leaves the home within two kilometers and adjusts the temperature accordingly, maximizing energy consumption.
Impeccable heating management
This smart thermostat is perfectly suited for rigorous winter conditions with its anticipated start technology. By accessing the data of an online weather service, MAESTRO® takes into account the outside temperature by advancing or delaying heating to reach the desired temperature at the appropriate time.
"Thanks to our extensive expertise in heating ecosystems and the launch of the MAESTRO® smart thermostat, °STELPRO is taking on the position of leader in the field of smart home," said Étienne Guay, Vice President, Innovation and Product Development at °STELPRO. "Our strong technology infrastructure and well-established Internet of Things (IoT) partners allow us to continue to offer consumers an integrated solution and improve their product experience with the all-new MAESTRO®," he concluded.
The heart of your heating ecosystem
According to a study conducted by the Polytechnique Montréal team, MAESTRO® contributes to saving up to 25% on annual electricity bills compared to a mechanical thermostat, which represents nearly $500 on average. In addition, the app generates energy consumption tracking reports informing the consumer of the number of kilowatts consumed.
This brand new smart thermostat for electric heating is launching to market to meet the growing demand for home automation. Designed and manufactured in Canada, MAESTRO® will be available as of March 15th at electrical distributors. The simple and intuitive MAESTRO® app can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play.
