It is possible to place a room sensor, flush-mounted sensor and/or flush- mounted display or control sensor in each occupied room. This can be extended to up to 15 Room sensors (and 5 remote controls). These sensors communicate wirelessly with the HRC-EcoSmart/SmartComfort ventilation unit.

When the remote control is set to automatic mode, the unit responds to the highest level (air quality in a residential area) measured by the room sensors. This provides fully automatic control, ensuring an exceptional indoor climate for the occupant at all times. You can always choose a different speed with the remote control.
