Official API maximizes efficiency and simplifies control of Inverter/VRF HVAC systems.
HVAC control solution provider Airzone Control has partnered with Savant for an API integration that will make Airzone’s exclusive HVAC control and zoning solutions available in the Savant Smart Home and Smart Power ecosystems.
“Many Savant homes are designed with sustainability as their North Star, and HVAC system control is critical to minimizing a home’s carbon footprint,” said George Katsiris, Senior Vice President of Partnerships for Savant. “Savant is proud to partner with Airzone to enable full, two-way control of today’s most efficient HVAC technology, allowing Savant integrators to achieve exceptional energy savings for their clients.”
Airzone is the global leader in intelligent HVAC control for mini-split, multi-split Inverter/VRF, and ductless units, leverages an exclusive library of manufacturer protocols to minutely control fan speed and refrigerant flow. Airzone control products can reduce HVAC energy consumption by up to 60 percent, while simultaneously maintaining more consistent temperature set points in occupied spaces.
The Savant driver works with both the Airzone Aidoo Pro for single-unit systems, and the Webserver Hub for zoned systems. Integrators can download the Aidoo driver directly from the Savant Application Manager. Once installed and configured on system thermostats, the API allows Airzone controllers to connect seamlessly to Savant sensors and control devices without the need for custom coding or wiring.
The driver includes mode switching and read/write functionality for set point and ambient temperature. Integrators can create set point schedules based on a client’s routine, or associate specific temperature set points with Savant Smart Home scenes. They can also customize Savant Power System energy modes to automatically adjust HVAC system usage when the user is on vacation, or in response to events like a grid outage.
Scenes and energy modes can be triggered automatically; users can also select their preferred scene or energy mode in the Savant App, with a single tap on a Savant control interface, or via Alexa or Google Home voice command. The Savant App also offers circuit-level insight into home technology energy consumption, allowing users to see the concrete impact of their investment in sustainable technology.
