New controls tech at Regulator Automation

Regulator Automation is now stocking Distech Controls’ Allure Unitouch touchscreen sensors, designed for a range of HVAC, lighting and sunblind applications.

Distech Controls says its sensor features an “intuitive interface for a modernised occupant experience”.

“Elegant and compact design provides a modern appearance when installed in any environment,” says the company. “[This] distinctive solution offers advanced technologies within a single product: Bluetooth low energy, glass front panel, capacitive touchscreen, LCD color display, sensors and more.”

The Allure Unitouch device is compatible with the “my Personify” mobile app, allowing users to control comfort settings from anywhere within an office or hotel room. It uses Bluetooth low-energy technology for system connection and secure authentication.

Distech says the device has multi-sensing capabilities for temperature, humidity, and CO₂, all using one wire and one connection. Both power and communication pass through a single Cat 5e cable, and two RJ-45 ports facilitate the daisychain connections to room devices.

The Allure Unitouch is configurable using ECgfxProgram to customise the user interface, including the applications (temperature, lighting), images and languages. Home and menu images can be customised to display an installer or end-client’s logo.

Allure Unitouch is compatible with the Smart Room Control solution and is part of Distech’s Eclypse Sky Ecosystem, a controls solution embedding wireless technology to manage connected spaces.

Distech Controls’ Eclypse Connected Thermostat is also available now through Regulator Automation.

Designed for use in new or existing commercial offices, educational facilities or hospitality buildings, the thermostat is available in a range of models for a variety of applications, leveraging ECgfxProgram to customise control sequences for specific applications.

“The Eclypse Connected Thermostat has been designed for ease of use, providing flexibility and functionality in its user interface that modernises your building portfolio,” says Distech.

Distech says the benefits include reduced installation costs with wi-fi connectivity and built-in web server, and the ability to provide comfortable and productive spaces via the editable seven-day schedules directly from user interface.

For the commercial office, Distech says its thermostat offers a wi-fi communicating rooftop and zone control solution with retrofit buildings in mind, requiring no new wires or gateways, helping to reduce installation costs while upgrading it with a modern user interface.

In education applications, the Eclypse delivers an IP-based, networked solution with Bluetooth connectivity allowing teachers to use the “my Personify” mobile app for added control over their teaching environment.
