## ctl command <a href="#id-othercommands-ctlcommand" id="id-othercommands-ctlcommand"></a>

The command enables managing the unit’s built-in heater (optional).

Syntax:

```
ctl [heater threshold|on|off [[no]log]]
```

* "*threshold" -* heater enable temperature ( -15...-1 )

The Astra Wireless units can be supplied with a built-in heater to enable their operation in very low temperatures and arctic conditions. Such units also has a built-in sensor for the inside temperature.

“c*tl*” command executed with no additional parameters shows the current temperature inside the unit in Celsius.

“c*tl heater threshold*” command sets a threshold for the temperature under which the built-in heater is turned on. The range of the threshold temperature varies between -15 and -1 degrees Celsius. For example:

```
ctl heater threshold -10
```

“*Ctl heater on/off*” command turns on or off the heater:

```
ctl heater on
```

“*Log*” option enables registering heater operation events for the sensor in the system log. To disable logging a “*nolog*” option is used.
