Welcome to Las Vegas | What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Stay in Vegas

This blog highlights some of the standout products and technologies we saw at AHR Expo—from smarter actuators and compact controllers to connected platforms and field tools. If you couldn’t make it to the show, this is a quick look at what’s shaping the year ahead.

AHR Expo Product Rundown: What Caught Our Eye in Vegas

Couldn’t make it to Las Vegas for AHR this year? No worries—we walked the show floor and rounded up some of the products, technologies, and updates that had people stopping mid-aisle and leaning in a little closer.

From smarter actuators to next-gen controllers and some genuinely cool tools, here’s a quick rundown of what stood out—and what you’ll likely be seeing more of in 2026.

What to Expect in our Recap

Belimo Distech Dwyer Fireye Honeywell Johnson Controls Testo

Smarter Actuators & Faster Setup from Belimo

Belimo is clearly leaning into ease of commissioning and smarter devices, and it shows.

Their GR, QR, and YR series actuators now ship with built-in NFC technology, making them compatible with the Smart Assist app right out of the box. Pair that with Belimo’s expanding NFC-enabled lineup, and you get faster setup, easier configuration, and fewer headaches in the field.

They also unveiled a new differential pressure sensor packed with advanced features—another strong move for applications where accuracy and reliability really matter.

Bottom line: more intelligence at the device level, less time spent commissioning.

Answering the Industry’s Wish List with Dwyer

Dwyer was on hand to showcase updated and new products, and these two caught our eye—because they improve on existing options with features we’ve heard the industry ask for.

Products we’re watching:

IEF Flow Transmitter
HF3xx Series Temperature & Humidity Transmitters
- NFC interface
- Programmable outputs
- RS485 output

Why it matters: practical upgrades that make install, configuration, and long-term service easier.

Retrofit Power & Combustion Control from Fireye

Fireye continues to raise the bar when it comes to combustion controls and retrofit flexibility.

Their Honeywell-to-BurnerLogiX adapter is a big deal for facilities looking to modernize without ripping everything out, and the NX6300 combustion controller remains one of the most advanced burner control platforms on the market.

Why it matters: If you’re dealing with aging “blue box” systems, Fireye’s retrofit story is getting stronger every year.

Connected Solutions Front and Center at Honeywell

Honeywell’s booth leaned heavily into the future—specifically around connected solutions and smarter field controllers.

Key themes:

Expect more: Connected devices, the Forge Gateway, and expanded analytics + integration capabilities will be a major focus this year.
