For Models with Recirculation Capability
If your system has recirculation capability, you can activate recirculation though the use of the Control-R™ Module. The module can be wirelessly paired with motion sensors or push buttons. The enhanced Control-R™ mobile app with Smart Home technology integrates more than 20 voice commands allowing on-demand voice activation of the recirculation system and temperature control. Paring with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Samsung SmartThings is possible only with Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters.
This groundbreaking innovation allows users to just say “Alexa, ask Rinnai to start circulation” or “Google, tell Rinnai I want to take a shower,” or add Rinnai to your Samsung SmartThings morning wake up routine and the Rinnai Tankless Water Heater will spring into action and begin circulating hot water. Additionally, the enhanced Control-R™ mobile app has been updated to include built-in timers and schedules allowing for multiple on/off periods throughout the day, with the schedule stored locally on the Control-R module. The app also allows users to remotely put the system into vacation mode when they are away, and even stop a scheduled recirculation event from starting.
