Homecraft Launches WiFi-Enabled Sauna Controller, Filling a Gap in the Aftermarket

Homecraft, Canada's oldest sauna heater manufacturer (founded 1988, still family-run out of Surrey, British Columbia), has released the WiFi-enabled version of its TKE2-2 digital controller. It's an upgrade that Homecraft owners have been asking for: the ability to start, stop, and schedule their 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's rated for Homecraft's C-Series and H-Series electric heaters up to 9-10kW on a 240V single-phase supply. 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 90C/194F), timer control (up to 60 minutes), and session scheduling. Both touchpad versions are CSA and UL certified. An outdoor model uses a weatherproof contactor box for backyard and lakeside installations.

TKE2-2 WiFi Specs: 50 amp, 240V. Up to 9-10kW heater compatibility. 24V Class 2 control circuit (no GFI breaker required). Temp range up to 90C (194F). 60-minute max timer. CSA and UL certified. Indoor and outdoor models. Standalone price: ~$825. WiFi upgrade on a Revive heater purchase: ~$300. Available now on SaunaMarketplace.com.

WiFi control has become table stakes for premium heaters. Homecraft bringing it to their line is a smart move for the North American market.

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 also more affordable, North American-made, and purpose-built for the Homecraft heater ecosystem, including the popular Revive series with its 200-lb rock capacity.

The controller is available now through authorized dealers, including Sauna Marketplace. 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.
