Specifications

Fully Weatherproof Heaters
Their IP65 rating means they’re well protected from inclement weather without any shelter needed. This gives you the freedom to install them just about anywhere, letting you create comfortable outdoor spaces that you can use all year round.

Near Infrared Heaters
Using near infrared means these heaters are a bit more intense compared to other models we have, but when mounted on your wall you can maintain a sufficient distance to ensure you feel comfortable.

Smartphone Control
By pairing your heater to your Wi-Fi through the Smart Life app, you unlock a huge range of control methods right in the palm of your hand. You can set a 7-day timer, an hourly timer, create multiple heating zones and even give your family access to manage things themselves. All of this can be done from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection.

This app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, and once paired you can also control your heating through Google Home or Amazon Alexa devices.

Remote Controls
If you don’t have your mobile to hand, you can still manage your heating through the included remote control. This gives you access to all the same features as the mobile app, but you do have to be closer to the heater itself.

It also comes with a child lock, so if your little ones decide to play with it they won’t mess up your heating.

Motion Sensor
For even more ways to automate your heating, the heater features a motion sensor. If this sensor doesn’t detect anyone within 3m in the room after 2 minutes it will shut the heater down. This is a simple way to get complete peace of mind, there’s absolutely zero risk your heating will be running when you don’t want it to be.

Whatever settings you choose, and however you control your heater, you can always see what it’s doing thanks to the integrated LED display.

Choosing The Right Heater
With four models to choose from and since this heater will be most likely used outdoors, we recommend overshooting more than undershooting, because you’ll need to overcompensate for both windchill and the complete lack of insulation. Multiply your required watts by 3 to manage this.

Once you’ve chosen the power level you need, you’ll want to choose whether you want a Wi-Fi or non-Wi-Fi model.

The non-remote options are fantastic for keeping things simple. They’re also the better choice if you already have an electronic thermostat system in place, as they don’t feature an onboard thermostat that can cause conflicts.

Our Wi-Fi models are great if you want to manage your heating directly. Once paired with the Smart Life app, they can be controlled through your phone from anywhere in the world, letting you remotely set timers, schedules and adjust the temperature to your liking. You’ll also get a remote included that offers the same features, so you’re not stuck if your Wi-Fi drops.
