Ecovent utilizes HouseWide philosopy: Calm, Cool, Connected

August 1, 2016 HouseWide Support

Ecovent is a whole home, intelligent zoning system that delivers room-by-room temperature control. The system is made up of self configuring room sensors, vents and a Smart Hub. The sensors plug into a standard wall outlet, detect the climate of the room and send the information to the Smart Hub. The Smart Hub then opens and closes vents in your home and communicates with the Wi-Fi thermostat to achieve your temperature preferences. All you have to do is set the temperature you want in our mobile app, and Ecovent does the rest.

Calm
In other systems, if too many vents are closed off in your home, pressure builds up in your ducts. This can have costly and potentially dangerous consequences. Ecovent doesn’t blindly close off vents. Ecovent system monitors the static pressure and airflow conditions at each vent and in each room. We optimize your comfort, but will never put your home in a position where your heating or cooling equipment will be damaged

In order for Ecovent to work effectively to solve the comfort and control issues so many homeowners face, it’s important to replace as close to 100% of the vents in your home as possible. This is because our system strategically closes vents across the home in order to achieve the desired temperature in each room. You can usually skip replacing vents in bathrooms and closets (because they tend to be smaller and have less airflow).

Cool

Even if you have a multi-zone home, Ecovent can still help. Chances are, you have rooms that are hotter or colder than you’d like them to be. The Ecovent system enables you to break your pre-existing zones down further, and set your temperature preferences on a room-by-room basis.

They use sensors that read temperature, humidity, pressure and Bluetooth low energy (BTLE), which offers iBeacon compatibility. Each sensor helps us tailor the temperature of each room to your preferences.

The opening and closing of vents is completely inaudible from about 5 feet away. Our vents are designed for optimal airflow, which means they usually make significantly less noise than a standard vent.

Connected

Ecovent is controlled from your smartphone or tablet. We currently have iOS and Android apps. The mobile app allows you to control the temperature in every room, turn your thermostat on and off, and see the status of every room in your home – whether you’re on the couch or away from the house.

It’s important that Ecovent works with or without internet – it’s why it is designed to communicate using a custom, low-powered radio frequency. Very shortly after setup – where you do need a wired ethernet connection – you won’t need to worry. And even if your internet signal drops out, you can still control your HVAC system directly from your thermostat. Firmware is updated remotely, so you are connected to up to date upgrades.

HouseWide Design Systems can help with your Heat/Cooling monitoring needs, to keep you calm, cool, and connected.
