What is Different About The New Dashboard?

Our developers have been working to create the best user experience possible for the sonnen ecoLinx driver. After all, what good is cutting edge technology if it isn't easy to understand or simple to use? Intuitive navigation, enhanced infographics and visuals, and an overall clear presentation were all focuses for the new sonnen dashboard. The new sonnen dashboard is available for Control4 T3 and T4 touchscreens.


Customers can now easily:

  • See battery and energy consumption/production in real time

CinDev's tekmar Driver Got A Facelift!

Cindev is always working to perfect our solutions for our customers. Along with developing brand new drivers, we also conduct ongoing improvements of existing code.

Tekmar.png

Cindev has just finalized a new version of the tekmar tN4 482 Gateway driver! This driver is a replacement to the existing tekmar driver and has a much cleaner installation and faster usability.

Features:

  • Simplified installation

  • Better addressing for thermostats

  • Automatic driver configuration once driver connects with the thermostat

  • Humidity Level, Humidify, and Dehumidify setpoints

  • Auto, Heat, Cool mode adjustment

  • Dual temperature monitoring

    • Tekmar thermostats support multiple temperature sensors. The driver has a selection to choose which temperature. This is located under the Settings tab in the proxy!

  • Dual setpoint thermostats 

    • Customers can now choose which setpoint of the thermostat they want to adjust. Adjust the Floor setpoint or the Room setpoint via the Extras Tab.

  • Supports Preset and Scheduling

  • Snow melt group on/off control

  • Single setpoint thermostats with ability to customize the range (32F - 210F)

  • Faster communication and better logging tools

  • Works on Android, iPhone, iPad, and Control4 Touchscreens


Why Would You Need A tekmar Driver?

Tekmar HVAC systems are often installed in homes with radiant floor heating and special HVAC applications.

This driver takes information from the tekmar system and converts it to Control4 information using the existing Control4 Thermostat Proxy system.  That means you can provide the same solution to your customer with this driver as you do with normal Control4 thermostats.  All the information from the tekmar system is presented on the standard Control4 interfaces. Any changes made on either system are communicated to the other, making it a seamless integration.
