January 30, 2008—Telkonet, Inc., the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, has announced a major evolution in its proven SS5000 Energy Management Thermostat line with the Version 4.5 model.
The new thermostat incorporates a range of technology advancements over its Version 4.0 predecessor, including increased HVAC system interoperability, customization and flexibility, as well as improvements to make installation easier, says the company.
Reinforcing the market imperative of delivering interoperability, Telkonet has become an Adopter Member of the ZigBee Alliance, an association of companies working together to enable cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly-networked monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.
The fundamental benefit of Telkonet’s Version 4.5 is the extensive degree of field-customization that it offers, greatly enhancing the speed and ease of installation. This capability addresses precisely how the thermostat can be fine-tuned for direct control over relays to give customized actions for heating, cooling, and multi-speed fan control without having to rewrite internal code. Settings can be field customized on screen or in more detail with the SmartView software.
