Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) and Carrier have introduced the Carrier Smart Thermostat featuring InteliSense technology (Model TSTATCCIEWF-01). Co-developed by the two companies, the device combines intelligent HVAC equipment control, remote diagnostics, energy management and guided commissioning to support residential heating and cooling systems.
The thermostat integrates UEI’s connected hardware, wireless communications and embedded software with Carrier’s HVAC systems. It serves as a central control hub, connecting equipment operation with cloud diagnostics, mobile access, smart-home integration and secure over-the-air software updates.
With homeowner consent, InteliSense technology provides participating HVAC dealers with real-time access to system health and performance data, enabling remote troubleshooting and potentially reducing unnecessary service visits. When paired with Carrier’s Performance 27VPA9 variable-speed heat pump, the thermostat uses patent-pending ComfortAdjust technology to automatically manage up to 21 adaptive stages of heating and cooling for temperature and humidity control.
The integrated SmartSave energy management system adjusts equipment operation during peak utility demand periods to help reduce energy costs while maintaining comfort. Homeowners can manage their systems through the Carrier SmartHome app on iOS and Android devices, with compatibility across major third-party smart-home platforms. For HVAC technicians, guided digital commissioning supports installation, servicing and smart-home pairing.
The jointly developed platform is designed to provide a scalable foundation for connected climate management across Carrier’s brands and distribution network.
“Technology should make comfort easier to deliver and easier to maintain,” said Tyler Oehlman, Associate Director, Product Management, Carrier. “The Carrier Smart Thermostat featuring InteliSense technology gives dealers greater insight into system performance while helping homeowners stay connected to their comfort systems.”
