How to Avoid BACnet in VRF HVAC Integration With Home Automation

Last week, you finished a central light control integration with Savant for an owner of a brand-new villa, installed a projection system with Crestron, and integrated a Control 4 solution into the meeting room of a fancy new high-tech office.
But this project is different. This is an HVAC VRF integration that takes you slightly out of your comfort zone. But hey: You relish new challenges!
Except that this time, it’s not that simple.
Let’s say you get the HVAC installer to understand what you need, and he manages to find a device provided by the HVAC VRF manufacturer. His solution, by default, will involve a BACnet-based controller. Now we’re entering unfamiliar territory in terms of time and investment since BACnet is not that common in the home automation world.
You are going to have to look for a home automation solution that will connect to the HVAC side. The problem is that you have no idea how much time it will take to install, pair, and connect the systems. Naturally, you tell yourself that if you get lost or caught in a bind, you can always rely on support from the HVAC installer.
Well, not always.
The installer won’t be much help since his professional domain is HVAC installation, not controls. The manufacturer support team? ‘…Your call is very important to us. Please hold…”
You are probably not even sure how to avoid the frustration you experienced last time. After all, technology changes so fast that it’s impossible to keep track of it all, especially in such a complex industry as HVAC.
CoolMaster allows you to integrate all VRF systems by Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, LG, Hitachi (JCI), Trane, Fujitsu, Carrier (Toshiba), Samsung, and many others. One simple, smart device for a pain-free integration with all VRF systems. CoolMaster is your secret weapon in mastering your time when integrating complex HVAC setups.
CoolMaster can be simply plugged in via Ethernet to the dedicated home automation system. The driver is then easily uploaded (in some cases automatically).
