The Bromic Affinity Smart-Heat™ Dimmer Controller delivers advanced, customizable control for Bromic Platinum and Tungsten electric patio heaters. Designed for users who want more flexibility than simple on/off operation, this controller allows you to manage heater output, create zones, and automate operation through the Bromic Smart-Heat™ App.
Available in 1-Channel, 2-Channel, and 5-Channel configurations, the Affinity Dimmer Controller supports a wide range of residential and commercial installations. Electric heaters benefit from true variable dimming, allowing precise adjustment of heat output through the Bromic Smart-Heat™ App. Control is handled via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with timers, schedules, and zone grouping built directly into the app. For large commercial projects, the 5-Channel model includes built-in Ethernet and BMS (0–10V) integration, while 1- and 2-Channel models can be expanded using an optional Expansion Board.
Important: The Affinity Smart-Heat™ Dimmer Controller is designed for electric heaters only. Gas patio heaters are not compatible with dimming controls and require an On/Off controller instead.

Which Bromic heaters are compatible with the Affinity Dimmer Controller?
The Affinity Dimmer Controller is compatible only with Bromic Platinum and Tungsten electric patio heaters.
Electric heaters support true variable dimming, allowing smooth adjustment across multiple heat levels using the Bromic Smart-Heat™ App.
Gas patio heaters are not compatible with dimmer controls. Gas models require an On/Off controller and do not support dimming or high/low modulation through the Dimmer Controller.
How many heaters can I control with one Dimmer Controller?
The number of heaters depends on the channel configuration and total power load:
1-Channel Dimmer: Supports up to 6,000 watts total
2-Channel Dimmer: Supports up to 12,000 watts total (6,000W per channel)
Multiple heaters can be connected to a single channel as long as the combined wattage does not exceed the maximum capacity. All heaters assigned to the same channel operate together at the same heat level.
Can I control individual heaters or elements separately with the Dimmer?
No. All heaters or elements assigned to the same channel are controlled together at the same output level. Individual element control is not available with the Dimmer Controller. For independent control, heaters must be assigned to separate channels.
