Airzone Control, a provider of HVAC solutions for zoning, automation, and smart control announces a new integration with Network Thermostat (NetX), a provider of smart thermostats for institutional, commercial, and industrial markets.
The integration between Airzone and NetX enables bi-directional communication between NetX thermostats and the Inverter/VRF HVAC units common in new construction and modern luxury homes.
Bridging the Divide
NetX has a 30-year legacy of supplying on-site and remote HVAC control solutions focused on flexible control and efficiency. As they prepared to bring their powerful line of products to the luxury smart home market, however, they encountered the HVAC/IT gap.
Communication protocol mismatch prevents two-way communication between Inverter/VRF units and third-party controllers such as smart thermostats. When paired with a smart device, the Inverter/VRF HVAC unit downgrades to single-speed operation, reducing unit efficiency and temperature set point precision.

60% energy savings
Using Aidoo Pro, an Inverter/VRF system with a NetX Thermostat can achieve energy savings of up to 60 percent.
“Luxury homeowners expect flawless performance from all of their systems,” says Jerry Drew, CEO of NetX. “Integration with Aidoo Pro will allow us to bring NetX solutions to this exacting clientele, no matter what style of HVAC unit they prefer.”
