Airzone Control is partnering with SmartThings, Samsung’s global connected living platform, to integrate Airzone HVAC control and zoning solutions into the SmartThings ecosystem. The company says this collaboration will make it possible to connect HVAC units from any leading manufacturer to SmartThings, “bringing new levels of simplicity, control and efficiency to smart homes.”
Airzone says HVAC is an energy-hungry system in the home. For consumers looking to leverage the SmartThings platform to control their energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint, monitoring HVAC usage in the home is essential. Airzone says it offers a line of after-market control devices that connect directly to the HVAC unit, instantly turning it into a smart device.
Airzone says its Aidoo HVAC controller works with every leading Inverter/VRF brand, including Samsung, Mitsubishi, Daikin and more. As part of the partnership between SmartThings and Airzone, three Aidoo HVAC control products are now Works with SmartThings certified:
- Aidoo Pro — a flagship control device that allows integration between the latest Inverter, VRF, mini-split and multi-split HVAC units and third-party IoT devices, including smart thermostats and home automation systems.
- Aidoo Wi-Fi — a control device that enables voice- or app-based HVAC control of Inverter/VRF units. If consumers want to use the original manufacturer’s thermostat but still connect to SmartThings, Aidoo Wi-Fi is all they need.
- Aidoo Pro Fancoil — an Aidoo control device enabling app-based control of legacy fancoil units (available only in the EU).
For even greater efficiency and room-by-room temperature control, Airzone offers zoning control solutions. The Works with SmartThings-certified Webserver HUB and Webserver Cloud enables total control of sensors, thermostats and up to 32 separate zoned HVAC units, according to the company.
With the Aidoo control and Webserver zoning solutions, Airzone says users can monitor and control their home’s HVAC systems from anywhere in the world using the SmartThings app. These devices also enable two-way communication between HVAC units and SmartThings automation experiences.
