One of the most practical upgrades a studio can make alongside a Yandiya panel installation is smart thermostat control. Rather than a simple on/off wall switch, WiFi and Zigbee-enabled thermostats let studio managers schedule heating around the actual class timetable.
A typical setup schedules panels to begin warming a room 20–30 minutes before a booked hot yoga class and switch off automatically once the last class of the block ends — eliminating the common waste of heating an empty room between sessions or overnight.
WiFi thermostats connect directly to the studio's existing network, giving managers remote temperature control and monitoring from a phone, useful for studios that want to check or adjust room temperature without being on-site.
Zigbee thermostats instead mesh with a local hub, which some multi-room studios prefer for larger installations where several rooms' panels need to be coordinated from a single control point without depending on internet connectivity.
Both options integrate with the built-in overheat protection and standard thermostat controls already present on every Yandiya panel, adding scheduling and remote access on top of the safety systems already in place.
