Airzone is launching its KNX-certified Aidoo Pro controller in the United States, aimed at electrical contractors, systems integrators, and mechanical contractors. This HVAC control solution facilitates the integration of Inverter (VRF and mini-split) HVAC systems with KNX, an open standard for home and building automation.
The company says the Aidoo Pro’s introduction signifies a notable advancement for open standards-based building control in the U.S. KNX has been a global standard for over 30 years, allowing for seamless communication among more than 8,000 certified devices from over 500 manufacturers. This flexibility offers specifiers a broad range of product options.
The Aidoo Pro enables U.S. integrators to connect Inverter HVAC systems with KNX-certified technologies, such as lighting and shading, through a single platform without the need for additional APIs or custom programming. This bi-directional communication allows installers to manage HVAC systems via the KNX interface.
“KNX and Airzone have been partners for a long time, working together to enhance the interoperability and efficiency of HVAC systems,” said Antonio Mediato, CEO of Airzone, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to bring the Aidoo Pro to our U.S. customers, who will enjoy the reliability and design flexibility that KNX offers.”
The integration process is streamlined by KNX’s ETS software, allowing contractors to manage all devices using a single tool, reducing the learning curve for technicians and specifiers. The Aidoo Pro is also fully interoperable with BACNet, facilitating integration with existing HVAC systems in hospitality and light commercial settings.
