CTM Lyng: Building controls for heating, wireless sensing and energy management

CTM Lyng supplies Norwegian building controls, including mTouch thermostats, wireless sensors and energy-control systems.

Summary

Best for
Homes and small buildings combining room heating controls with compatible Zigbee sensors and local operating controls.
Less suited to
Assuming every mTouch One variant has the same load rating or includes Zigbee without checking its OP designation.
Deployment
Selected thermostat or actuator, compatible sensors and optional hub-based energy control.
Data in
Room or floor temperatures, selected sensor humidity and control state; exposed values depend on the exact product and hub.
Pricing
Current equipment and installation prices were not established in the reviewed sources.

Overview

CTM Lyng supplies building and home control products, including heating, lighting and selected safety functions. Its mTouch range combines local operating controls with optional hub-based energy management. A project can therefore begin with a room-level function and expand to coordinated operation, rather than requiring every product to be selected at once.

The mTouch One OP thermostat and wireless room sensor perform different jobs. The thermostat controls heating according to its configuration, while the sensor supplies room measurements. Distinguishing those roles is useful when deciding where temperature should be measured and which device actually switches or regulates the connected load.

Offering

The mTouch One HV, OP, electrical number 4503102, has a display, touch controls, weekly setback scheduling and Zigbee 3.0 communication. Its current product page states a 2300 VA load rating. The separate mTouch One 1P HV, OP, electrical number 4503197, states 3600 VA. These ratings belong to different variants and should remain attached to their exact identifiers.

The mTouch Luftføler HV, OP, electrical number 4503177, measures temperature and humidity and can serve as an external room sensor for compatible controls. It does not replace the thermostat's load-control hardware. Sensor placement and actuator selection are separate parts of the system design.

Technology

The OP thermostat pages explicitly document Zigbee 3.0. The supplier's sensor pairing manual, for the M-HV version, distinguishes joining a Zigbee network from associating the sensor with a thermostat. For the documented thermostat procedure, both products must already belong to the same network before the local association step.

That distinction is useful when commissioning: a device appearing on a coordinator does not by itself prove that a thermostat is using its temperature value. The room-sensor description establishes the intended sensing role, while the manual supplies a bounded pairing path. Third-party hub exposure and the exact installed variant still need to match the integration being configured.

Markets

The mTouch system overview describes coordinating heating and other controllable loads, including reducing demand peaks through a hub, meter reader and appropriate switching equipment. These are different capabilities from a simple room-temperature schedule. A useful specification identifies the controllable loads and measurement inputs before selecting the larger system.

At room level, the thermostat offers setback scheduling and configurable temperature-control functions. An external room sensor provides another measurement location where appropriate. The selection should preserve the particular thermostat's stated load rating and sensor arrangement. Broad energy-saving claims do not establish a guaranteed saving for an individual building or a replacement for its electrical design.

Company

CTM Lyng's company overview identifies it as a Norwegian supplier of technology for safety and energy saving in buildings and homes. Its contact page lists operations in Vanvikan and Klæbu. The Norwegian company register identifies Vanvikan as the registered business address. It dates the legal entity to January 1985 and records its earlier name, Lyng Elektronikk, which changed to CTM Lyng in 2010.

The mTouch overview provides the broader product-system context, while the exact product pages carry the practical differences used in this profile. Those differences are particularly important for similarly named thermostats: the OP designation, electrical number and load specification are more useful selection evidence than treating every mTouch One as the same device.
