Lutron’s HomeWorks home automation system now handles temperature control and HVAC energy efficiency thanks to integration between Lutron and Airzone control systems.
Airzone specialises in smart HVAC system control and has built a library of certified protocols for inverter, ductless, mini-split, multi-split, and VRF manufacturers. Airzone products enable two-way control of modern HVAC systems, enabling temperature set point precision and claim system energy savings of up to 60%. Lutron integrators can now offer their HomeWorks customers these features via an integration using QSX processors.
This new integration allows Lutron customers to precisely control an inverter / VRF HVAC system from any available trigger in the Lutron system including keypad buttons, schedules, Palladiom thermostats, and the Lutron App.
To control a single-zone unit, Airzone integrates with the Lutron Palladiom Thermostat via the Aidoo Pro. This device enables two-way communication between the inverter / VRF unit and the Lutron thermostat, controlling temperature set point, operation mode, fan speed and unit on/off.
For multi-zone applications, the integration takes place between the Airzone webserver Hub and the HomeWorks QSX Processor, enabling features such as centralised configuration and control of zone parameters, control of up to 32 separate Airzone HVAC control systems, seamless control of combined radiant and air heating / cooling stages and remote error and warning detection of the HVAC unit.
The Airzone solution is now available in the latest Lutron Designer Software.
