The Unisenza Plus gateway is the heart of your smart heating system. It's essential for unlocking the full potential of your Unisenza Plus smart heating & cooling system. The gateway:

- Connects your devices. It acts as a central hub, linking all your Unisenza Plus thermostats, radiators, and sensors together without using up available Wi-Fi channels on the home/office router.

- Provides cloud connectivity. This allows you to control your heating system remotely using the Unisenza Plus app.   

- Enables advanced features. You can access features like geofencing, weather-based adjustments, and detailed energy reports.

- Facilitates voice control. The gateway allows you to Integrate the heating system with smart home assistants for hands-free operation.

Essentially, without the gateway, your Unisenza Plus system is just a collection of smart devices without the ability to communicate and work together effectively.
