Affinity Smart-Heat™ Expansion Board

The Affinity Smart-Heat™ Expansion Board is an optional accessory for Bromic’s On/Off and Dimmer controllers (1 and 2-channel models). It enables seamless Ethernet integration for secure network connections and features a 0-10V terminal block for Home Automation Systems (HAS) or Business Management Systems (BMS). This accessory is not required for 5-channel controllers, as they include these features by default.
