Inverter Split / Multi Split
Inverter split / multi split HVAC systems consist of one or multiple air handlers and a single outdoor outdoor unit with an inverter compressor.
CoolAutomation integration device
CoolPlug & CooLinkHub
A CoolPlug is attached to each indoor unit, with up to 10 CoolPlugs connecting to a single CooLinkHub. The CooLinkHub then connects to your preferred home automation platform. CoolPlugs can communicate with a CooLinkHub either via wired or wireless connection.
