With Rinnai’s Control-R™ Wi-Fi Module, new and existing Rinnai Residential and Commercial Tankless Water Heaters (2006 and newer) can be remotely monitored and controlled via smart devices. Rinnai now has the capability to provide a new option for management, control, and maintenance of Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters.

The module attaches to the water heater and with a two-wire interface quickly connects to your WiFi network. If your water heater is located in an area of the home where your WiFi signal is weak, the module can be wired up to 300 feet away from the water heater. The module is for indoor installation only but can be used with outdoor installed water heaters. Once connected, simply download the Rinnai app and you can control your tankless water heater through your smartphone or tablet.

Control and convenience at your fingertips. With the app, you can register your product, adjust the temperature, as well as activate the recirculation function (if your system recirculates). Additionally, Remote Diagnostics and Monitoring Alerts provide detailed system information such as sending automatic maintenance alerts. If your system is set up for recirculation, the Control-R module can be paired with motion sensors or push buttons used to recirculate.

The addition of these accessories allows for hot water faster. The Control-R mobile app with Smart Home technology integrates more than 20 voice commands allowing on-demand voice activation of the recirculation system and temperature control. Pairing with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings is possible only with Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters. The Control-R will only currently work with a 2.4 GHz dual-band router. The Control-R app includes built-in timers and schedules for multiple on/off periods throughout the day. Of course, it also offers vacation mode as well as the option to stop a scheduled recirculation event from starting. Additional features include the ability to see your water and fuel usage as well as set a service monitoring dealer.

Recirculation CapabilityIf your system has recirculation capability, you can activate recirculation through the use of the Control-R™ Wi-Fi Module, motion sensor, or push-button for faster hot water ( sold separately ).

  • Researched and ordered my fireplace from US FIreplace Store. Pricing was a fair value however, the customer service was EXCELLENT! I had an issue with the direct vent venting. I called US Fireplace and the correct items were sent out the next day AND Janessa stayed on top of my return authorization and sent me the permissions and documents I needed to return the incorrect item and no cost to me, including return shipping. Overall, I am a very satisfied customer and my fireplace looks and operates flawlessly. I am glad that I selected US FIreplace to source my direct vent fireplace. Thank you for the great service.

  • I had placed an order, through Lowe's Home Improvement, for an Electric Firebox: Revillusion RBF42. Ordered 1st part of January. Was told I would have it in 3 weeks. When checking to see is it came in, was told it was delayed to 3/15. Was then told is was delayed until 4/25. Waited until 4/27 to check on it. Was then told it was now delayed until August. This firebox was going in a new Sun Room addition. I could not get my final inspection until the Firebox was installed. I went on line and googled for this same product. US Fireplace Store web site was given to me. This was on a Saturday. I call and reached a very nice man. Explain what I was look for. He checked and told me they had 30 of them in stock. I almost fell out of my chair. I clarified with him the product I was wanting. I ask how soon could I get it. He told me it would ship today. Again, was amazed. It arrived on the following Monday. What a pleasure and a relief working with US Fireplace Store and their employees. Exceed my expectations.

  • Great prices, quick delivery and fast hassle free services on the issue I encountered. I had purchased an electric fireplace unit that would not fit into the existing fireplace space. With one email I was able to get the wrong fireplace refunded and picked up at my home at no extra cost and the new one I purchased and delivered free of charge. Great company.
