Airzone Launches in North America with Critical HVAC / IoT Interface 

Airzone has entered the growing North American market with a smart control solution for HVAC inverter systems. The company’s Aidoo Pro acts as the bridge between proprietary HVAC inverter and mini-split manufacturers’ protocols and IoT device APIs. The Aidoo Pro enables HVAC professionals to completely integrate HVAC inverter systems with leading smart thermostats, preserving all inverter features and providing unparalleled levels of efficiency, energy savings, connectivity and comfort.

Because HVAC inverter system protocols and smart thermostat APIs are incompatible, HVAC inverter systems downgrade to single-speed operation when paired with a smart thermostat. The hallmark benefits of inverter solutions — efficiency, energy savings and superior climate control performance — are completely lost. The interface brings the HVAC and IoT worlds together, preserving inverter functionality while meeting consumer demands for smart control.

The Airzone Aidoo Pro is a simple-to-install system add-on that sits between the HVAC system and IoT control devices such as third-party smart thermostats, voice assistants and home automation. Airzone’s library of manufacturer-certified HVAC protocols enables full two-way communication between the Aidoo Pro, the HVAC solution and smart thermostats or other connected devices. The Aidoo Pro receives smart thermostat data via API, interprets it and then sends the appropriate commands to the inverter unit via manufacturer-certified protocol. The inverter continues to function at a variable rate, preserving the superior comfort and efficiency of the system.
