The right thermostat in the right place.
The latest Polar Bear firmware, together with our Control4 and Crestron Home integrations, now supports virtual thermostats, providing greater flexibility and the opportunity to reduce system costs.
But choosing virtual thermostats everywhere isn't always the best answer.
🏠 Underfloor heating?
A room with underfloor heating only is often an ideal candidate. Because underfloor heating responds slowly, occasional adjustments from a phone or touch panel feel completely natural.
🌡️ Fast-response heating and cooling?
Rooms with air conditioning, trench heaters or radiators behave very differently. Clients generally expect to walk into the room and adjust the temperature immediately, making a well-positioned physical thermostat the more intuitive choice.
💡 These decisions matter early.
Choosing where to install physical controls—and where virtual controls make sense—can reduce installation costs while creating a better everyday experience for the homeowner.
🎨 Climate control is part of the interior design.
Thermostats, sensors and control interfaces become part of the fabric of the home, just as much as lighting, materials and colour palettes. The best systems balance aesthetics, functionality and ease of use.
🤝 More than software integrations.
At Janus, we work alongside dealers, consultants and interior designers to develop the right control strategy, provide design guidance and commission every system to deliver the best possible user experience.
✨ Great technology is important. Great user experience is what your client remembers.
