Ki, the first product in Stelpro’s new line of connected products for the smart home, is a 4,000W line voltage thermostat manufactured entirely in Quebec. It’s the first line voltage thermostat distributed on the North American market to use Z-Wave technology.
“For Stelpro, the Ki smart home thermostat represents a new development path and is part of a wide range of products that ensure home comfort,” says Yves Chabot, President of Stelpro. Developed by Stelpro’s Innovation and Product Development team.
Unveiled at the CES 2016 (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas last month, the new Ki line thermostat for the smart home controls baseboards and convectors, uses wireless Z-Wave technology, and requires a Z-Wave terminal that links the various devices and enables them to communicate with each other.Ki is the Japanese word for universal energy.
The thermostat for the smart home can easily be integrated into the Z-Wave environment. Using your smartphone, tablet or computer, it allows you to
• adjust the temperature of each of your home’s rooms from a distance
• adjust various modes of energy management, thus increasing home energy efficiency
• activate scenes, setting in motion several actions such as adjusting temperature and lighting, activating safety and entertainment systems and others
The Z-Wave thermostat is an affordable and easy to use product that makes life easier for those who use it. It is available in more than 70 electrical distribution outlets in Quebec.
The Ki line thermostat is already getting a great deal of interest from distributors, in both Quebec and the rest of Canada, as well as on the American side.

I once took a class where the professor would explain concepts in two ways. First, he would dive into the mathematics behind the idea, filling the whiteboard with equations and showing how they all related to one another. He tagged this “for the engineers,” Then, he would explain the concept again, but this time, with no math at all. This he said, was “for the poets.”
