The HVAC Smart Relay Switch (HSRS) is an energy saving device designed to automatically shut off air conditioning or heating when a monitored door or window remains open for a preset period of time. Available in both wired & wireless packages, the system uses compatible door/window sensors – two included. For the wireless edition, choose one of the following product generations:
- GEN2 – Our second generation (classic) sensors feature a usable wireless transmission range of 50 ft. or more. Requiring two (2) AAA batteries (not included), they are auto-addressable (up to 65,000+ possible IDs) and measure 3.25″ x 1.5″ x 0.5″. Foam mounting tape and screws are supplied. (GEN2 sensors do not store a permanent address and therefore must be initialized and re-registered whenever batteries are replaced.)
- GEN3 – Our third generation sensors are available in two models: mini and basic. The mini sensor has a wireless transmit range of 50 ft. (max.) and operates on a single CR2032 lithium coin-cell (included). The basic sensor has similar range and includes a CR123A cell. Each is pre-programmed with a unique, permanent address (over 16 million possible IDs). The mini sensor measures 2.2″H x 1″W x 0.25″D and includes foam mounting tape (no screws).
- The basic sensor measures 3-1/16”H x 1-9/16”W x 1-3/16”D and includes foam mounting tape and screws.

- Notes:
-
- The two product generations are not cross-compatible as they operate on different radio frequencies. Therefore, a 2nd generation controller will not accept a 3rd generation sensor. Nor will a 3rd generation controller recognize a 2nd generation sensor.
- G2-classic sensors feature a copper coil antenna for excellent signal transmission (50 ft. or higher).
- Both G2-classic and G3-basic sensors provide wired contact screw terminals for optional external wired switch (N/C) or closed contact loop. Unless you plan to utilize this input, it must be disabled to avoid inadvertent trigger. To disable, simply apply a short jumper wire across the wiring terminals.
- RF range varies for every installation. In general, wireless signals can be diminished or impeded by RF interference, concrete walls, large appliances, etc.
The HSRS is fully configurable using onboard DIP switches, allowing you to establish specific operational parameters. For instance, configure the device to temporarily disable the air conditioning or heating system when any door or window has remained open for 10 minutes and then re-enable when the door has remained closed for 1 minute. (Requires installation by a qualified hvac technician.
