Subject says it all…
I would like to know if any mini split AC universal controllers exist that use z-wave or zigbee. I have seen and very much like the capability of the Cielo thermostats, but they seem to be only WiFi. Same for others I have seen. Thank you in advance.
I believe there are a couple of options, but the only one that I can think of off the top of my head is the Remotec ZXT-600, which is a z-wave IR blaster that SmartThings can see as a thermostat.
I was seriously considering getting the previous model (ZXT-120) but found a way to connect my mini-split to my Harmony Hub. Control through Harmony is very limited and I kinda hate it, but it’s just functional enough that I can’t justify the cost of the Remotec. At least not yet…
@peter132 if your mini split will accept a conventional thermostat you could use any of the available zwave/zigbee stats. If it takes IR look at something like Remotec Z-Wave ZXT-120/600
Thank you for the suggestion, but it does not.
Updated:
While I desired a ZigBee or Zwave solution I settled for the WiFi Cielo Breez-Plus.
It’s working fine. Integrates with smartthings okay.
