The thermostat will be mounted in any room fitted with a floor-heating system, radiator, heating unit or cooling unit. It controls the heating or cooling for the room in which it is mounted. The thermostat is used in combination with the heating or cooling module. As Niko Home Control controls the heating or cooling in different rooms, the resident can considerably save energy by linking the thermostat, for example, to the eco-function (all off) or calendar-based functions (contrary to maintaining a fixed temperature throughout when using thermostatic taps, for instance).
