Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat Manager combines
convenience with technology for affordable, easy building
temperature control
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a leader in the thermostat and HVAC
controls industry, today announced Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat
Manager, the company’s latest innovation to leverage Internet of
Things technology to help ensure human comfort and energy
efficiency.
The Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat Manager is a software application
that can manage and control multiple heating and cooling systems
through one convenient online portal. The software solution works
with Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostats to create a powerful and affordable
HVAC management solution for businesses that typically have
multiple HVAC systems across one or several buildings or even
locations.
The Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager provides a best-in-class
user experience, empowering facility managers to create thermostat
groups and make batch setting changes to balance occupant comfort
with energy savings and operational efficiency.
An alternative to costly large-scale building management
systems, Emerson’s latest offering in its top-rated Sensi platform
became a reality as the result of listening to customer needs in
the research and development process. While bigger office buildings
typically require massive commercial HVAC systems, smaller
businesses, schools and places of worship often rely on solutions
like the Sensi thermostat to keep buildings comfortable
year-round.
“We’re committed to engaging with our customers to understand
their needs and their wish lists for their industries,” said Robert
T. Sharp, executive president of Emerson Commercial and Residential
Solutions. “Customers were sharing that the Sensi thermostat made
it easy to remotely control thermostats in buildings they manage,
but that being able to change multiple thermostats in one process
would help them do their jobs more efficiently.”
Through the Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager, facility managers
are able to experience significant savings—both in energy
conservation and manpower. Facilities no longer have to rely on
janitorial or evening staff to adjust every thermostat to keep the
system from running overtime on evening or weekends. Now, the
facility manager can simply make adjustments in a seamless
interface that impacts multiple thermostats at once.
Schools and churches participating in a Sensi Multiple
Thermostat Manager Pilot have already seen the benefits of being
able to control many thermostats through the group function,
particularly during unexpected circumstances like a sudden shift in
temperature or change in facility schedule.
“The ability to create a group and adjust temperatures with a
single click has been a big time-saver,” said Randy Starkey, lead
pastor at Victory Church in Pevely, Mo. “The batch function has
made it possible to eliminate multiple trips to thermostats, giving
us the resources we need to be more efficient and strategic in our
utility maintenance. We have three buildings on our campus and now
we can easily control a whole building at once, saving lots of
time.”
The Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager works with any Sensi,
including the new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat and updated Sensi
Wi-Fi Thermostat. The application is compatible with many HVAC
systems without the need for an extra controller. Facility managers
can use the keypad lockout feature to prevent changes to individual
thermostats and also receive smart alerts when extreme temperature
changes are detected.
The new Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager service will be
available for $1 per thermostat per month. Monthly and annual
pricing options are both available. Additionally, all new users
will receive a 30-day free trial.
