Only a finger-swipe: Controlling a domestic stove by smartphone and app

SPARTHERM is one of the leading manufacturers of modern fireplace inserts in Germany and Europe, and it has now performed a quantum leap. The experts have devised a new concept that revolutionises the operation of stoves, and have unveiled their SEO model, the first of its kind. This concept is based on interactive control via smartphone or tablet. The stove is equipped with the new Neo Control System. This balances and matches all three factors perfectly: Fuel, temperature and air supply – during the heating process. This dispenses with manual air control levers altogether, eliminating the possibility of human error by the stove operator.

This is smart: Electronic control system delivers all data to the app

A small display panel below the fire area lights up as soon as the stove is operating, and it flashes slowly when wood needs to be added. The actual control is performed by smartphone or tablet and an app. This app was specifically designed for this new line of stoves and it can be operated intuitively via a simple menu.

The electronic assistant delivers information about power and operating condition, room and stove temperature – not only in German but in a choice of another eight language versions. Here’s what is so great about it: The operator can even choose between three different power levels, and the system always provides the optimum air supply and temperature. All of which translates into environmentally aware and economical heating – all at the swipe of a finger. All from the comfort of your settee. More at www.spartherm.com.
