What is the Messana mTouch?

The mTouch is a wall-mounted 5.7″ HD touch display that gives you complete control of your Messana hydronic heating and cooling system, right from the wall. No phone required.

Connect a single Ethernet cable (Power over Ethernet) and the mTouch automatically discovers your Messana system on the network. No configuration, no pairing. It just works.

Operating Modes:

The mTouch has two operating modes:
  • Full Interface Mode (default): The mTouch runs the same interface as the Messana phone and tablet app. You have full access to all zones, setpoints, schedules, system settings, and monitoring features.
  • Zone Control Mode: A simplified interface that shows only zone and macro-zone controls. All other menus and advanced features are hidden. Switching to Zone Control Mode requires a PIN, so occupants cannot access system settings. You can also choose which zones are visible on the display. For example, a mTouch installed in a guest room can show only that room’s controls.

Key Features:

  • Automatic updates: The mTouch updates its software automatically over the network, so you are always running the latest version.
  • Proximity sensor: A built-in sensor detects when someone approaches and wakes the screen automatically. Sensitivity is adjustable across three range levels.
  • Adjustable display settings: Control brightness, screen timeout, and proximity sensitivity.
  • Configurable PIN: A 6-digit PIN protects Zone Control Mode and the zone visibility settings. The default PIN is 000000 and can be changed from the settings of the mobile app (see How do I set up the mTouch?).

When to Use the mTouch:

  • Guest rooms and suites: Guests control their own comfort without accessing system settings. Use Zone Control Mode to show only the relevant zone.
  • Hotels and hospitality: Simple, per-room temperature controls that staff can lock down with a PIN.
  • Offices and commercial spaces: Occupants adjust their comfort while system configuration stays protected.
