Emerson Introduces Technology to Control Multiple Smart Thermostats on Single Dashboard

Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat Manager combines convenience with
technology for affordable, easy building temperature control

ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a leader in the thermostat and HVAC controls
industry, today announced Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat Manager, the
company’s latest innovation to leverage Internet of Things technology to
help ensure human comfort and energy efficiency.

The Sensi™ Multiple Thermostat Manager is a software application that
can manage and control multiple heating and cooling systems through one
convenient online portal. The software solution works with Sensi Wi-Fi
Thermostats to create a powerful and affordable HVAC management solution
for businesses that typically have multiple HVAC systems across one or
several buildings or even locations.

The Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager provides a best-in-class user
experience, empowering facility managers to create thermostat groups and
make batch setting changes to balance occupant comfort with energy
savings and operational efficiency.

An alternative to costly large-scale building management systems,
Emerson’s latest offering in its top-rated Sensi platform became a
reality as the result of listening to customer needs in the research and
development process. While bigger office buildings typically require
massive commercial HVAC systems, smaller businesses, schools and places
of worship often rely on solutions like the Sensi thermostat to keep
buildings comfortable year-round.

“We’re committed to engaging with our customers to understand their
needs and their wish lists for their industries,” said Robert T. Sharp,
executive president of Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions.
“Customers were sharing that the Sensi thermostat made it easy to
remotely control thermostats in buildings they manage, but that being
able to change multiple thermostats in one process would help them do
their jobs more efficiently.”

Through the Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager, facility managers are
able to experience significant savings—both in energy conservation and
manpower. Facilities no longer have to rely on janitorial or evening
staff to adjust every thermostat to keep the system from running
overtime on evening or weekends. Now, the facility manager can simply
make adjustments in a seamless interface that impacts multiple
thermostats at once.

Schools and churches participating in a Sensi Multiple Thermostat
Manager Pilot have already seen the benefits of being able to control
many thermostats through the group function, particularly during
unexpected circumstances like a sudden shift in temperature or change in
facility schedule.

“The ability to create a group and adjust temperatures with a single
click has been a big time-saver,” said Randy Starkey, lead pastor at
Victory Church in Pevely, Mo. “The batch function has made it possible
to eliminate multiple trips to thermostats, giving us the resources we
need to be more efficient and strategic in our utility maintenance. We
have three buildings on our campus and now we can easily control a whole
building at once, saving lots of time.”

The Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager works with any Sensi, including
the new Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat and updated Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat.
The application is compatible with many HVAC systems without the need
for an extra controller. Facility managers can use the keypad lockout
feature to prevent changes to individual thermostats and also receive
smart alerts when extreme temperature changes are detected.

The new Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager service will be available for
$1 per thermostat per month. Monthly and annual pricing options are both
available. Additionally, all new users will receive a 30-day free trial.
