A well-designed central heating system allows you to maintain thermal comfort in a building with the lowest possible energy consumption. The expenses allocated for this purpose constitute a huge part of the household budget, so it is not surprising that many people try to save on it in various ways. In the meantime, it is worth realizing that the basis for optimizing heating costs is properly selected temperature controllers. Learn the most important information about these devices and see what distinguishes the innovative Auraton Pictor DS touch thermostat!
In this article you will learn:
- how does the temperature regulator work,
- What are the advantages of the Auraton Pictor DS room thermostat?
- what to consider when choosing a thermostat.
Temperature controller operation
A room thermostat is a device or system of devices used to control heating elements that are part of a central heating system. They are installed in easily accessible places, so users can conveniently adjust the system to their current needs. The controller is equipped with a display and buttons that allow you to enter selected settings. Modern models take the form of touch devices with a special sensor that allows automatic temperature control.
The temperature controller – either wired or wireless – is connected to the heating device controllers. This allows the user to quickly and easily set their parameters such as temperature or operating time. There are many different thermostats available on the market. Some of them are simple devices that allow for basic configuration, while others allow for the creation of advanced periodic programs.

Auraton Pictor DS Electronic Temperature Controller – Features and Advantages
Auraton Pictor DS is a concealed, wired controller equipped with a modern touch panel, which allows you to set the temperature with minute precision. The device can work with a gas or electric boiler, as well as with foils, mats and heating cables. The user has up to 6 temperature programs at their disposal during the day, arranged in 3 weekly schedules. Additionally, they can set an independent holiday and manual temperature.
The advanced option allows you to choose from a range of temperature control - maximum (in the range of 20 - 70 degrees Celsius) and minimum (in the range of 1 - 10 degrees Celsius). Auraton Pictor DS has 2 sensors. One of them monitors the room temperature, and the other is responsible for protecting the floor from overheating and possible damage. Interestingly, the device is also equipped with a cooling function.
In summary, the Auraton Pictor DS touch thermostat has the following advantages:
- 2 temperature sensors – air and floor,
- 6 independent temperature programs per day,
- FrostGuard function prevents freezing of the installation,
- holiday mode, allowing you to set an independent temperature for up to 30 days,
- touch LED control panel,
- minute accuracy of temperature settings,
- cooling function,
- easy installation in standard flush-mounted boxes.
As you might guess, using the Auraton Pictor DS thermostat allows you to reduce the consumption of heat energy, which significantly reduces heating costs. Optimization of the installation's operation also has a positive impact on the natural environment. The system does not generate unnecessary exhaust fumes, thanks to which the household reduces its emission of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Auraton Pictor DS is a very simple way to intelligently manage the operation of the heating system. The temperature controller is easy to use and highly effective. One configuration is enough for the device to operate in a fully automated manner. This clearly translates into the comfort of the tenants.
What should you consider when choosing a temperature control device?
Before buying a temperature controller, it is worth considering what parameters to pay attention to. Read the list of key issues for a thermostat and you will immediately understand why Auraton Pictor DS is one of the best choices you can make:
- Functionality – the cheapest thermostats on the market are used only to set the temperature. Only the best devices of this type have practical additional options, such as programming automatic schedules.
- Compatibility – this is one of the most important parameters in the case of thermostats. Not every temperature regulator can work with all heat sources. Some models are designed exclusively for coal or gas boilers, others allow you to control electric heating systems. It is also worth remembering that a traditional furnace may require a different thermostat than, for example, underfloor heating.
- Installation method – both wired and wireless controllers are available on the market. The latter are of course easier to install, but it is worth bearing in mind that they are more susceptible to various types of interference. Cables routed under the plaster, on the other hand, guarantee trouble-free communication between the device and the boiler controller.
- Operation – the clearer the thermostat interface, the easier it is to use. Older types of temperature control devices have knobs or buttons, while new ones are equipped with a touch panel.
- Programmability – not every room thermostat allows you to set any temperature from the range available to the user. The operation of non-programmable models is limited to selecting one of the factory operating ranges of the heating device.
- Adjustment accuracy – thermostats available on the market differ in both the precision of settings and operation. A good temperature controller allows you to set the selected program with an accuracy of a minute, while a standard product of this type works, for example, in hourly periods. On the other hand, we are dealing with errors in measurements, which should not exceed 1 degree Celsius. A high-quality room controller will limit them to about 0.2 degrees.
- Temperature range – this parameter has a huge impact on the comfort of using the thermostat. The standard temperature controller allows you to set it in the range of 5-30 degrees, which in most cases is quite sufficient. Users with higher requirements should reach for a more advanced product.
