How to plan for smart sauna control

First up is, of course, the sauna heater. This is controlled by using relays and contactors. During the construction phase, make sure that there are sufficient cables leading from the distributor to the sauna for:

· Sauna heater (high voltage current)

· Touch Surface

· Lighting

· Safety switch

· Speakers

· Fan/ventilation

In this traditional Finnish sauna above, you see a wood-lined room with a modern touch of LED Strips. They were installed under the bench to create a subtle glow. With a protection class of IP 20, this ensures that the silicone covered strips will not emit any odor from the heat. The strips are also installed within an aluminum rail for protection from moisture and corrosion.

The audio function in the sauna comes from built-in Loxone Speakers underneath the bench. Keep in mind the possible temperature ranges that you may reach in your sauna. The temperature range suitable for Loxone Speakers can be found in our Datasheet.

For sauna operation, the Touch Surface is built into the wall of the sauna. Wall thickness is important to keep in mind while planning for built-in Touch Surface control. At the location of each Touch point, a hole was drilled into the wall.
