    Johnson Controls Introduces the York Affinity Communicating Control for Total System Integration
    This revolutionary new control communicates with all key components in a home comfort system, providing total system integration that ensures maximum system efficiency and homeowner comfort, while equipping contractors with a reliable, distinctive tool to build their business.

    The Communicating Control takes advantage of advanced digital technology to build a real-time system profile, displaying equipment and accessory status that provides contractors and homeowners with precise information and better control. A simplified four-wire plug-and-play design eliminates time-consuming wiring and system checking at installation. And when new compatible components are added to a system, an auto configuration feature automatically recognizes and configures them, based on the comfort settings and operation requirements of the existing system.
