RANDOLPH, N.J. — Zonefirst, a manufacturer of HVAC zone dampers and zoning systems, has launched a new home climate-control product, the Bliss Zoning System.

The Bliss system offers precise room-by-room temperature control without the need for additional wiring, separate thermostats, or cumbersome mini-split systems, while also integrating lighting control, a press release from Zonefirst said. With the company’s Internet of Zoning (IoZ) technology, the Bliss system enables homeowners to manage both lighting and temperature settings through an app, allowing for customized comfort in every zone, the press release said.

At the technology’s core is the patented Invis-A-Stat, a combination light switch and thermostat. The Invis-A-Stat fits into any standard light switch box, making it an ideal retrofit solution without the need for complex wiring or intrusive equipment, Zonefirst said.

By integrating temperature and lighting control into one system, the Bliss system not only simplifies home comfort management but also enhances overall energy efficiency. Third-party validation has confirmed the efficiency of zoning systems, with users reporting reduced energy consumption up to 30%, Zonefirst said.

According to the Zonefirst press release, the Bliss Zoning System has four key components:

• Invis-A-Stat, a dual-function device that combines a light switch and thermostat into a single, user-friendly unit.

• The HVAC Control Module (HCM), which manages and activates the HVAC system to maintain optimal temperatures throughout the home.

• The Wireless Damper Sensor (WDS), which monitors and adjusts damper positions, duct temperature, pressure, and humidity to ensure precise climate control.

• The Zone Control Gateway (ZCG), which facilitates communication among system components for consistent performance, and connects to the home’s network for remote access.

“Our Bliss Zoning System represents a significant leap forward in home comfort and lighting control,” said James Foster, marketing director at Zonefirst. “By combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, we’ve created a solution that not only enhances comfort and convenience but also delivers real energy savings, making it an optimal choice for homeowners seeking advanced zoning solutions.”
