Johnson Controls, the global pioneer for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has released a new Universal Thermostat Adapter, which allows variable capacity residential HVAC systems from YORK®, Luxaire®, Coleman®, and Champion® brands to seamlessly interface with most third-party thermostats.

With the Universal Thermostat Adapter, homeowners have the power to choose their preferred controls system for their premium variable capacity split systems. It also gives homeowners who have an existing smart home system the ability to integrate it with premium HVAC systems which are part of the Johnson Controls OpenBlue connected suite of technologies.

The adapter features an online setup and configuration tool with MAP Gateway and comes with a 2-year warranty

Additional adapter features

For contractors, the adapter features an intuitive design that externally connects to variable capacity communicating furnaces or air handler units with standard ports for easy “plug and play” installation and setup with standard, 24V thermostats.

It also features an online setup and configuration tool with Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway and comes with a two-year factory limited warranty.

Reliable and High-performance systems

With the Universal Thermostat Adapter, Johnson Control customers are given even more choices when purchasing premium communicating systems leading to high performance, reliable efficiency, and quieter operation,” said Doug Schuster, vice president, and general manager, Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls.

Johnson Controls is one of few manufacturers offering this power of choice to homeowners and contractors.”
