Homecraft, the family-run sauna heater maker in Surrey, British Columbia (in business since 1988), has released the WiFi-enabled version of its TKE2-2 digital controller. It adds the ability to start, stop, and schedule the sauna from a phone.
What it does
The TKE2-2 is a two-part system: a low-voltage touchpad (the interface you interact with) paired with a separate contactor box that handles the high-voltage switching to the heater. It runs Homecraft electric heaters up to 10kW on a 240V single-phase supply, including the Revive, Revive Slim and H-Series and the 10kW Apex. The 24V Class 2 control circuit means no GFI breaker is required, which simplifies installation.
The WiFi version replaces the standard touchpad with one that connects to a mobile app for remote start, temperature adjustment (up to 194°F), timer control (up to 60 minutes), and session scheduling. An outdoor model uses a weatherproof contactor box for backyard and lakeside installations.
How it compares
Smart connectivity has been standard on premium heaters from HUUM (via the UKU controller, which supports sessions up to 18 hours and a 48-hour delayed start) and Harvia (via the Xenio and new Fenix controllers with humidity and lighting integration) for several years. The Homecraft TKE2-2 is simpler in scope: heater control only, 60-minute max session, no humidity or lighting integration. But it’s North American-made and purpose-built for Homecraft’s own heater line, including the popular Revive series with its 200-lb rock capacity.
The controller is available now through authorized dealers. The TKE2-2 platform is also the recommended pairing for Homecraft’s new Apex Mini compact tower heater, which launched in 6, 7.5, and 9 kW variants in April 2026.
