There are so many different types of HVACs (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. Understanding how each one connects and interacts with Home Automation systems can be a real challenge.
The goal of this article is to simplify and clarify how Home Automation interacts with VRF HVAC systems.
This design, in theory, should be ideal for both local and remote climate control, management, and automation; but naturally, it isn’t that simple.
This challenge creates a significant hurdle for integrating VRF HVAC systems into a Home Automation system. Presently, the most common means of overcoming this challenge is through a BACnet interface , which makes the automation process incredibly clunky and complicated, with multiple points of potential failure.
To make matters worse, Home Automation and VRF systems use completely different languages to communicate, and therefore have no native means of understanding requests, commands, or information that need to be sent between the two systems.
The VRF and Home Automation systems, therefore, require a device that can act as an intermediary in order to translate commands and requests between the two in a simple and seamless way.
Functionally, CoolMasterNet’s advanced technologies are able to read the specific internal address assigned by the VRF system for each indoor unit. CoolMasterNet will then automatically identify those units though the Home Automation system, and provide the integrator with quick and easy access to each individual unit through the main controller. This functionality provides simple and intuitive management for the entire system, both locally as well as remotely.
Simply put, CoolMasterNet is an all-in-one solution for VRF and Home Automation integration. It is simple to install, easy to configure, and operates flawlessly within the system, while remaining unseen in the background.
