The Bromic Smart-Heat Link RS232 Plugin bridges the Bromic Affinity Smart-Heat controller ecosystem with third-party RS232-based building management and AV control systems. For commercial venues using platforms like Control4, Crestron, or AMX, this plugin allows heater control to be fully integrated into the venue's central automation system.
The RS232 Link plugs directly into a compatible Affinity Smart-Heat controller and enables bidirectional communication with the control system β sending commands and receiving status feedback β eliminating the need to manage heaters separately from the rest of the venue's automated systems.
Key Features
RS232 Integration β Enables serial communication between Affinity controllers and RS232-capable control systems.
Third-Party Platform Compatible β Works with Control4, Crestron, AMX, and other RS232-enabled AV and BMS platforms.
Plug-In Design β Connects directly to the Affinity Smart-Heat controller β no separate power supply needed.

What control systems is the Smart-Heat Link RS232 compatible with?
The Smart-Heat Link RS232 is compatible with any control system that supports RS232 serial communication β including popular AV and automation platforms such as Control4, Crestron, and AMX. Check your control platform's RS232 driver compatibility before purchasing.
Does the RS232 plugin replace the Affinity controller or work alongside it?
The RS232 Link works alongside the Affinity Smart-Heat controller β it is not a standalone controller. It plugs into the Affinity controller and acts as a bridge, translating commands from your RS232-enabled control system into actions on the Bromic heater network.
Is this the same as the Expansion Board β do I need both?
No β these are different products. The Expansion Board (BH3130070) adds Ethernet and 0β10V BMS integration. The RS232 Link specifically enables serial communication with RS232-based AV and automation control systems. If your system uses RS232 protocol, you need this plugin. If it uses Ethernet or 0β10V, you need the Expansion Board.
