As pioneers of the Internet of Climate (IoC) technology, CoolAutomation has a commitment to support HVAC and automation professionals by improving the HVAC experience of their customers. This is why, CoolAutomation is thrilled to announce a native connectivity for all CoolAutomation solutions with Amazon Alexa. This means that all VRF and all compatible Split HVAC systems can now be voice controlled through Amazon Alexa, when connected through CoolAutomation solutions.
As CoolAutomation has outlined in their blog, VRF, VRV, Split, Mini-Split and some of the other HVAC systems, are all designed with a closed communication system, and as such, are unable to connect to any external device, network, or smart home device (Amazon Alexa included). The only way to bridge this gap is through the use of an intermediary solution, that includes an Internet of Climate (IoC) device and cloud-based API access.

CoolAutomation's solutions enable VRFs, VRVs, Split, Mini Split and other HVAC systems to access the internet, which enables the HVACs to communicate with external systems through the CoolRemote Cloud API. Once the user connects any internet-enabled smart device to their HVAC through CoolRemote Cloud and a CoolAutomation device, their Amazon Alexa will gain seamless bi-directional control over the most popular brands of VRF, VRV, Split and Mini-Split HVAC systems.
This development is incredibly important for HVAC professionals and Home & Building Automation Integrators to provide their customers with the most versatile and interoperable HVAC systems. From now on service providers can promise their customers that they will be able to control their VRF, Split HVAC, along with many other system types, using voice controls through their Amazon Alexa device.
