Myson introduced its Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls in an article published on 29 September 2023, describing the range as a wireless control solution for heating and cooling devices1. The company said the range comprises four components: the Unisenza Plus Gateway, an electronic thermostatic head, a wireless thermostat and a receiver1.
The gateway acts as the central unit of the network. Myson states that "the gateway can connect up to 100 end devices", and that each product in the range can be paired with it to form an integrated network controlled through the Unisenza Plus app1. According to the company, the app allows multiple gateways to be added, so that systems in more than one property, such as a home and a second residence, can be managed from a single app1. Myson describes the range as offering "the added value of a completely wireless network" and "optimum flexibility in both new construction and renovation projects"1.
On energy use, Myson cites two figures. It says a typical HVAC system accounts for approximately 40% of the total energy consumption of a building, and that buildings account for a third of global energy consumption1. The company states that its research shows zone temperature control, setting a desired temperature per room, "can lead to energy savings of up to 24%" compared with a standard control system using on/off control of a single zone1. The article does not set out how that research was conducted, and no independent verification of the figure is reported1.
"Smart heating solutions such as our new Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls help to create future-proof HVAC systems that offer significant energy saving benefits in both the short and long term."
Myson says the range is intended to be bought as individual elements rather than as a fixed package, describing a "pick and mix" approach in which only the needed components are selected1. No prices, availability dates or technical specifications for the individual components are given in the article1.
Why it matters for households
Heating controls determine how much of a home's energy use is under the occupant's direct control, and this range is built around a wireless network rather than wired connections. The practical effect of zoning, as Myson describes it, is that individual rooms can be held at different temperatures instead of the whole home following one setting, which is the mechanism behind the 24% saving claim1. For a household weighing up heating controls and thermostats, the number of components and how they connect is the main variable: a wireless system avoids running new cabling, which matters most in older properties where walls and floors are already finished.
The app-based control raises a separate question from the hardware itself. Myson states that the system is controlled through the Unisenza Plus app and that multiple gateways can be linked to it1, which places routine operation of the heating on a phone and, by implication, on the manufacturer's cloud service. The consequences of that arrangement for local control and cloud dependence are not addressed in the article, and it is not reported whether the controls can be operated without the app or an internet connection1. Households with electric radiators rather than a wet system should note that the article describes the range in terms of HVAC systems generally and does not list which heat sources the components are compatible with1.
