FlexelTouch WiFi Thermostat

The FlexelTouch WiFi Thermostat provides intelligent temperature control for modern electric heating systems including infrared heating panels and electric underfloor heating. Designed to optimise comfort while reducing energy waste, it allows users to manage heating schedules, adjust temperatures remotely and create customised heating zones throughout the home.

Smart control is particularly important with fast-response radiant systems. Understanding how to choose and configure controls correctly can significantly improve efficiency and comfort, which is explained in our Infrared Heating Thermostats Guide.

Using programmable scheduling and remote access via the Fenix Control app, users can prevent overheating empty rooms and maintain consistent comfort levels. This is especially valuable when systems are sized correctly using tools such as the Infrared Heating Heat Loss Calculator, helping ensure the thermostat and heater combination performs efficiently.

The thermostat supports loads up to 16A, allowing control of one or multiple infrared panels within a heating zone when professionally installed. Its touchscreen interface offers intuitive daily and weekly programming, while voice assistant compatibility with Google Home and Alexa adds convenient smart home integration.

For homeowners exploring the wider benefits of radiant heating, our Infrared Heating Guide explains how precise thermostat control helps maximise comfort and reduce overall heating costs. You can also explore system efficiency and sizing in more detail in our Infrared Heating Running Costs & Sizing Guide.

Suitable for both renovation and new heating installations, the FlexelTouch WiFi Thermostat offers a clean modern design combined with powerful scheduling and automation capabilities. When used correctly with zoning or occupancy-based control strategies, it can form part of a highly efficient electric heating system aligned with modern energy-saving standards.

FAQ's

1. Can the FlexelTouch WiFi Thermostat control infrared heaters?
Yes. Infrared panels are resistive electric loads, so they can be safely controlled provided total wattage stays within the thermostat’s 16A capacity.

2. Does the thermostat require WiFi to function?
No. Heating schedules and manual temperature control continue locally even if the internet connection is lost.

3. Can I group multiple infrared panels together on one thermostat?
Yes. Panels can be zoned together when total electrical load is correctly calculated.

4. Is this thermostat suitable for fast-response radiant heating?
Yes. Programmable scheduling and air sensing help manage rapid heat delivery from infrared panels.

5. Can I integrate PIR sensors or smart automation?
Yes. Smart home platforms can trigger temperature changes based on occupancy.

6. Will this thermostat help reduce heating bills?
Yes. Remote control and scheduling reduce unnecessary heating and improve system efficiency.

7. Can it be used with electric underfloor heating as well?
Yes. It supports both air and floor sensor modes depending on installation requirements.

8. Does the thermostat support voice control?
Yes. It works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

9. Is professional installation required?
Yes. Hard-wired thermostats should be installed by a qualified electrician.

10. What happens if heating demand exceeds the thermostat rating?
A contactor or relay can be used to safely control higher-power heating zones.

Do I need a wireless or a WI-FI thermostat?

Choosing between a wireless and a Wi-Fi thermostat depends on whether you need to move the device around your home for better temperature accuracy or if you want to control your heating remotely from your phone via an app.

When would I use a wireless thermostat?

A "true" wireless thermostat uses radio frequency (RF) to communicate between a battery-powered control unit and a receiver wired to your heater/s.

You need placement flexibility: by using wireless (RF) you can place the thermostat anywhere within the room, it can be installed on to a wall or sit on a shelf or coffee table.

You want to avoid rewiring or redecorating: a wireless thermostat can help reduce the amount of cables that need to be run and can minimise disruption to the existing décor.
When to use a WI-FI smart thermostat?

A Wi-Fi thermostat connects to your home internet, allowing you to manage your heating system through a smartphone app.

You have an unpredictable schedule: You can turn the heating on or off while at work or on your way home, ensuring you never waste energy heating an empty house.

You want smart home integration: These devices can sync with systems like Amazon Alexa or Google Home and can often be part of a multi-zone setup.
