Ecostrad Opus iQ WiFi Controlled Infrared Ceiling Panels

Enjoy comfortably heated rooms from an unassuming source with the Ecostrad Opus iQ WiFi Controlled Infrared Ceiling Panel. These discreet infrared heaters are designed for top-down heating so all of the warmth they emit goes to the end user first. This not only maximises their head spread but also ensures that your heating system is always kept out of reach – great for commercial properties and homes with young children.

Opus infrared panels warm spaces using radiant heat, which is absorbed by the brickwork of your property to bring rooms up to comfort temperature. It doesn’t rely on the surrounding air to transfer warmth so no heat is lost through draughts. This means your rooms stay warmer for longer, using less energy in the process. On the inside of the panel is a carbon crystal film element that efficiently emits warmth into the room, and to prevent heat loss, the Opus also contains a layer of polyurethane insulation at the rear. The elements are covered in a special fire-resistant, patented coating which protects the appliance and also increases heat conduction.

Every Opus iQ infrared panel is ready for WiFi control the moment it’s plugged in. Just download the Smart Life app to your phone and pair it to each of the heaters in your system – it’s that simple. No gateway accessories are needed because the panels have a receiver that communicates directly with your home router. Once they’re connected, the Smart Life app allows you to create multiple in-depth heating schedules for your infrared panels that you can micro-manage down to each individual minute. The Smart Life app also unlocks Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, so if you have a smart speaker, you won’t even need to lift a finger to adjust your heating.

Opus iQ infrared panels come with a wireless sensor that communicates temperature readings to the Smart Life app. The sensors can be paired to any number of Opus iQ panels and give you the option of grouping heaters together to follow the same schedule. The sensor can be wall mounted or free standing and comes with its own desk stand for convenient placement. If you would prefer to use the heater with an external controller, you can simply use the bypass switch on the rear of the panel which gives you the option of changing your control preference further down the line.

These panels can be installed in multiple ways. They can be purchased with a direct mounting kit for a fitting that hugs the ceiling or purchased with a suspension kit so that they can hang down at the height of your choosing. The 270w panel can also be used in office ceiling grids and simply slots into place with no additional kits required.
