Ductless air conditioning

[jgalak]

We are considering a multi-head ductless Central AC system for the new house, probably from Fujitsu.  Does anyone know if these things support any sort of control inputs for integration into HA, and if so, does LMCE support any of them out of the box?

They generally have IR remotes, so in a pinch IR blasters can control them, but it'd be kind of a PITA to set that up in each room...

I know that Zennio do an AC controller for KNX -  although that's no good if you're not using KNX, or your unit is not supported.

.....Edit...

Similarly it would appear that there is a zwave one.

The zwave looks great, and would simplify things, though I'd still prefer some sort of "direct"control - Ethernet, serial, etc.

With a multi-head system, each head is independently controlled by an IR remote, so I'd need one of these per room.  Wat I'm hoping for is some sort of way to plug directly into the "central brain" of the system, and control the whole thing.  Not sure if that's possible...

Ask the dealer.
