Panasonic unveils new Aquarea Home app

UK: Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has announced the availability of its Aquarea Home app for the control of its Aquarea range of heat pump products.

Downloadable in Google Play and the App Store, the Aquarea Home app allows end-users to conveniently control and monitor their range of Aquarea room solutions from anywhere, anytime, using their smartphone or tablet.

The Aquarea Home app is compatible with Aquarea Air Smart fan coils, Aquarea Loop, Aquarea Vent and RAC Solo, providing the controller has built-in wi-fi for a direct connection. For Aquarea heat pumps and systems where wi-fi is not integrated, the Home Network Hub accessory is required.

Featuring a user-friendly interface designed for ease of use and intuitive navigation, the app also allows users to create personalised scenarios for each room or zone, including setting specific temperatures for each room and individual units. 

Weekly schedules can be programmed to allow users to create their own environments whilst having the ability to change settings effortlessly to achieve maximum comfort within the home.

The Aquarea Home app is part of a range of online applications designed to manage Aquarea heat pumps and their room heating terminals, such as Comfort Cloud and the Tado app.
