The Amerec K2 is the most versatile smart steam control available — and the only residential steam control that works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Siri. Mount it inside or outside your steam shower, control everything from the touchscreen or your phone, schedule your session up to 24 hours in advance, and adjust chromatherapy lighting to set the perfect mood. This guide covers every feature, all six finish options, and everything you need to know before you order.

What is the Amerec K2?
The K2 is Amerec's flagship steam shower control — a waterproof touchscreen panel designed for use with Amerec AK Series steam generators. It gives you complete control over your steam session from the panel itself, from your smartphone, or through voice commands. The K2 is the steam version of Amerec's widely popular SaunaLogic2 sauna control, bringing the same intuitive, app-powered approach to steam shower control.
Because it is fully waterproof, the K2 can be wall-mounted either inside the steam enclosure or outside on the bathroom wall — whichever location makes most sense for your layout. The low-profile design at 3.4" wide by 5" tall by 0.6" deep keeps it discreet on the wall, and an optional 1/2" trim ring is available in six finishes to match any hardware in the bathroom.
Features and controls
Temperature and time control
Set your preferred steam temperature and session duration directly from the K2 touchscreen. The timer runs up to 60 minutes per session. Adjust temperature and time mid-session with a tap — no need to reach for a separate panel or app.
24-hour scheduling
Schedule your steam session up to 24 hours in advance — from the control panel or the SaunaLogic app. Set your morning session before you go to bed and step into a perfectly pre-heated steam shower without pressing a button. This is one of the most practical quality-of-life features of the K2 and one that makes a daily steam routine significantly easier to maintain.
Chromatherapy lighting control
The K2 includes room light control with brightness adjustment and color selection — turning your steam shower into a full chromatherapy experience. Select from a range of colors to set the mood for each session: cool blue for calm and focus, warm amber for relaxation, energizing green for a morning wake-up. Note that the Amerec Chromatherapy Light Kit is required for color control and is sold separately — the K2 control itself includes the light control functionality built in.
SaunaLogic app — control from anywhere
The free SaunaLogic app is available for iPhone and Android and turns your phone into a full remote control for your steam shower. From anywhere you have cell service or Wi-Fi — your office, your car, the gym — you can start your steam, adjust temperature and time, choose your light color, and set a 24-hour delay. You will never come home to a cold steam shower again.
The Administrator of the app can create a Family account and add as many users as needed — everyone in your household gets their own access to the steam shower from their own phone.
Voice control — Google Home, Alexa, and Siri
The K2 is the only residential steam control available that works with all three major voice assistants — Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Siri. If your smart home is built around Google, Amerec is the only residential steam brand that integrates natively. Ask Google to start your steam shower, tell Alexa to adjust the temperature, or use Siri on your iPhone — the K2 responds to all three.
The only steam control with Google Home. Mr. Steam and ThermaSol both offer Amazon Alexa integration. Amerec is the only brand that adds Google Home and Siri — making the K2 the right choice for anyone whose smart home ecosystem is built around Google Assistant. If you say "Hey Google" more than "Alexa" in your home, the K2 is your control.
Over-the-air software updates
The K2 includes OTA (Over the Air) technology for automatic software updates delivered to mobile devices. Your SaunaLogic app stays current without any manual updates — new features and improvements arrive automatically.
Second option button
The K2 includes a second option button on the control panel for additional functionality — giving you quick access to a secondary feature without navigating through the app. A small but useful detail for daily use.

Frequently asked questions
Does the K2 work with any steam generator?
No — the K2 is compatible with Amerec AK Series steam generators only. If you have an older Amerec AK generator, contact Amerec or our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Can I mount the K2 inside the steam shower?
Yes — the K2 is fully waterproof and can be mounted either inside the steam enclosure or outside on the bathroom wall. This gives you flexibility to place it wherever is most convenient for your layout and usage habits.
Does the K2 work with Google Home?
Yes — the K2 works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Siri. It is the only residential steam control available with all three voice assistants. If your smart home is built around Google Assistant, the K2 is the only steam control that integrates natively.
Does the K2 include chromatherapy lighting?
The K2 control includes chromatherapy light control functionality — brightness adjustment and color selection — built into the panel and app. However the Amerec Chromatherapy Light Kit itself is sold separately and must be installed to use these features.
How far in advance can I schedule a steam session?
Up to 24 hours in advance — from the K2 control panel or the SaunaLogic app. Set your morning session the night before and step into a perfectly pre-heated steam shower without touching anything.
Can multiple people in my household use the app?
Yes — the SaunaLogic app Administrator can create a Family account and add as many users as needed. Everyone in your household gets their own app access to control the steam shower from their own phone.
Which finish should I choose?
Match the K2 trim ring finish to your existing bathroom hardware — faucets, shower fixtures, towel bars, and door hardware. Brushed Nickel is the most versatile choice for modern bathrooms. Matte Black works well in contemporary and industrial designs. Polished Chrome suits traditional and transitional spaces. Oil Rubbed Bronze and Brushed Bronze suit warmer, more traditional aesthetics.
