Accessory

What it is / what it does

Why you may prefer it over standard thermostat or remote

Wired Controllers (KSACN Series)

Wall-mounted wired controllers designed for seamless integration with Vitocal Ductless and Ducted Systems

These controllers offer full system communication for the highest level of control and performance — they are smart, fully featured controllers optimized specifically for the Vitocal system. Some of the advantages include 7-day programmable schedules, multiple operating modes (Auto / Cool / Heat / Dry / Fan), adjustable fan speeds (Auto / Low / Medium / High), turbo mode for fast heating or cooling, swing control, and system status display.

 

24 V Interface Kit (KSAIC Series)

An interface that allows integration of a standard 24 V thermostat / control device for a ductless system

If you have a preferred third-party thermostat control or want to use a smart thermostat you already own, the 24V interface allows your Vitocal system to be controlled by a traditional or smart 24V Thermostat.. Note: Using the 24V interface for control with a thermostat does not provide the same level of system control or communication as the Wired Wall Controllers. To harness maximum performance, the wired wall controller is ideal. 

WiFi / Connectivity Options
Viessmann offers WiFi
(or connectivity) kits to allow remote control  system monitoring

With WiFi adaptor kits, you can remotely adjust settings, monitor system status, and schedule operations directly from your smartphone. These adaptors are compatible with Wired Wall Controllers, but cannot be used alongside the 24V interface.

Why Choose a Wired Controller (Wall Controller) Instead of a Basic Thermostat?

  • Full Control & Communication

    The wall controller maintains full communication with the indoor and outdoor unit. Unlike traditional thermostats that often only allow “setpoint / on-off,” these wired controllers provide full system feedback, status, and control over more parameters: fan speed, operating mode, schedule, “turbo” quick heat/cool, etc.

  • More Information Displayed

    You can see more data (mode, fan speed, display codes) directly, rather than guessing or having limited indicators with a standard thermostat.

  • Better Comfort & Efficiency

    Full communication allows for more control over fan speeds, schedules, modes, humidity, swing etc.. You can optimize performance more precisely (e.g. Turbo Mode, Eco Mode, Follow Me Function) leading to improved comfort and energy savings.

  • Smart / Intelligent

    These controllers are “smart” in the sense that they are built for more than just basic temperature control—they integrate more deeply with the system. These Wall controllers speak the same language as the Indoor and Outdoor unit to allow for uninhibited performance, efficiency and comfort

  • Avoid Limitations of On/Off Thermostat

    A typical thermostat just turns the unit on/off based on setpoint. It doesn’t manage fan speeds, or allow for full modulation of the inverter system, and doesn’t communicate status or errors. The wired controller adds all that functionality. Depending on application, a 24V thermostat may still be preferred for its familiar interface and functionalities.

Some Practicals: What to Consider When Choosing Accessories

  • Are you interested in peak efficiency? 
    If peak efficiency is your goal, start with a wired controller. For those seeking more advanced features and greater control, wired controllers offer the best option.

  • Do you already have a smart home ecosystem / thermostat? 
    If yes, using the 24 V interface may allow integration with what you already have.

  • Where will the control device be mounted? 
    Wall controllers are mounted on the wall like a traditional thermostat; remotes/wireless are more flexible.

If you’re considering a Vitocal 100-S for your home or project, the base system already delivers excellent performance and comfort. However, if control, scheduling, feedback or smart home integration are important to you, investing in one of the accessories mentioned above can substantially enhance how you interact with the system. These ad-ons offer far greater flexibility and comfort over simply relying on thermostats or wireless remotes alone. With Viessmann’s ductless accessories, homeowners can enjoy complete control, seamless integration, and the ultimate in year-round home comfort.
