Airzone Control announced an integration partnership with building intelligence software provider Bodhi. This new partnership will allow the cloud-based Bodhi building operating platform to monitor and control Inverter (VRF/mini-split) HVAC units, simplifying property operations management and supporting guest and tenant experiences.

Bodhi connects property management with technology systems for hospitality venues, MDUs and commercial buildings. This platform integrates with property management software, sensors and technology subsystems including lighting, shading, AV and HVAC. Via Bodhi, property managers can schedule automations, access usage analytics and reporting platforms, view alerts, manage trouble tickets and more. Bodhi also includes a web-based guest app that can be used to unlock doors, adjusting the temperature, request housekeeping, order room service, etc.

Airzone enables bidirectional communication between HVAC systems and IoT ecosystems like Bodhi using a library of manufacturer protocols from Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung and more. The Airzone/Bodhi integration leverages the Airzone Aidoo Pro control solution to connect Inverter (VRF/mini-split) units to the Bodhi platform. Aidoo Pro is a cost-effective system add-on: An Aidoo Pro is directly connected to each Inverter unit and integrates with Bodhi via a local API. In the future, Bodhi will also offer hardwired Modbus integration between Aidoo Pro and the Bodhi thermostat.
