Nuheat Wifi ThermostatNuheat will launch Signature, a WiFi floor heating thermostat.

Signature will give homeowners full access to all thermostat settings with wireless remote access through a smartphone app (iOS or Android) or a web browser. Changing the temperature or schedule, or viewing energy usage will all be at the homeowners’ fingertips. 

“[Signature] has been designed and developed exclusively for Nuheat by OJ Electronics and after over a year of development, we are extremely excited to bring it to market. Extensive market research from homeowners and contractors alike confirmed the market is expecting connectivity for remote access.  A myriad of household products ranging from locks to lights to heating systems offer the ease of on-the-go control. Our new thermostat allows the user to activate the floor heat for vacation properties or, to simply turn up the heat for a cozy return home,” said Wally Lo, Nuheat’s product manager.

Signature will be priced at $265.00 USD and will be available for sales in spring 2014.
