living connect®, Z-Wave Certified Electronic Ra­diator Thermostat

Application

This documents provides information about the
Z-Wave commands supported by living connect®
and guidelines on the implementation of Z-Wave
controllers as well as general description of the

living connect® and how to mount it on a radiator.

living connect® is a electronic radiator thermostat.

It can be controlled by either a Danfoss LinkTM CC
(Central Controller) or a Z-Wave certified control­ler.

(For control by Danfos LinkTM CC see separate da­ta sheet)

living connect® uses Z-Wave wireless communica­tion technology, is easy to install and is supplied
with adapters for all thermostatic valves manu­factured by Danfoss and most other radiator
valve manufacturers.

living connect® is battery powered, compact and
very easy to operate with only three buttons on
the front.

The temperature can be changed at any time us­ing the buttons on living connect®. The change is
transmitted directly to the controller, which can
synchronize the other electronic radiator thermo­stats in the same room. living connect® features
an open-window function, which closes the valve
if the temperature in the room is falling dramati­cally. Main features in a system with the control­ler:
