    Lochinvar does, and I believe VIessmann does as well.
    It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.

    IBC also but I believe Veissmann is ahead in that gane
  • Last time I checked, the Viessmann Wi-Fi add-on was sent back to the drawing board.
    Lochinvar has their Con-X-Us for their FTXL and Knight boilers. Just purchased one and have yet to install it.
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab

    I have three Con-X-Us modules in the field, and they've worked flawlessly. Kind of nice knowing your customer has an issue before your customer knows... And if they don't pay their bill, well... Let's just say that they WILL pay their bill :blush:

    As I type this, I see Navien is advertising (to the right) a WiFi interconnect right on this sight, so guess we need to add their name to the hat.

    Thanks for all the replies
    I was hoping HTP with the 8000 Min would have WI-FI capability I emailed them and they said its not offered yet. I'm sure in due time they will all offer it to stay competitive thanks Dan

    The customers are the geeks out there. Most of the ones who like the nest type thermostats and all.
    I just put a Conxus on a Lochinvar for a customer who is a snowbird, and a major geek. He likes the ability to just see it, and to be able to check on the boiler when he is gone.
    I wouldn't install it on my own, but I don't have that kind of extra cash either.

    Bosch has a WiFi thermostat that works with (but only with) their Greenstar boilers. I like mine a lot. Not so much because you can monitor and program it from your phone but because you can either use ODR curves or just have it modulate the boiler based on indoor temp.
