Use Case: Integration into Home Automation
Diagram Description: The visual depicts the integration of Universal IR Air Conditioners into a Home Automation installation. It showcases the Intesis Gateway as the central component. This gateway connects wirelessly (Wi-Fi) to a Home Automation system, represented by a Home Controller or Smart Hub. The gateway itself is illustrated with symbols indicating IR transmission capabilities and Wi-Fi connectivity. Numerous Air Conditioner (AC) brands are listed with their logos, including Acson, Aeromerc, Aircool, Airlin, Airwell, Alpicaire, Argo, Blaupunkt, Bosch, Carrier, Daikin, Daitsu, DeLonghi, Dolphin, Electra, Fuji Electric, Fujitsu, General, GREE, Hitachi, Hiyas, IVT, Kaysun, LG, Midea, Mitsubishi, Munde Clima, New Pol, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo, TCL, Toshiba, and Vaillant. This graphic effectively demonstrates how the Intesis Gateway bridges IR-controlled AC units from a wide range of manufacturers to IP-based smart home networks.
Infrared Communication with the Indoor Unit
The gateway facilitates control of the main AC functions through infrared commands. Furthermore, its integrated IR receiver allows it to ascertain the AC unit's actual status, even when the user is operating it directly with the manufacturer's original IR remote controller.
The Solution
Intesis Home Automation gateways are specifically engineered to be the leading AC integration solution for Home Automation Systems. Communications are established via a straightforward ASCII protocol, which can be readily implemented as a driver within Home Controllers or Smart Hubs. With drivers already available for many prominent Home Automation platforms, Air Conditioning units can be seamlessly integrated and controlled.
