Climate Control
The Climate Control feature enables the Automation Controller to integrate with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, allowing you to manage indoor climate conditions from the Manager interface or mobile application.
Using the Climate Control widget, you can control key HVAC parameters such as system power, operating mode, fan speed, and temperature setpoints. When compatible sensors are available, the real‑time environmental data such as current temperature and humidity is displayed.
Climate Control Architecture
The Climate Control feature is implemented using two primary components:
-
Controller Objects
-
Climate Control Widget
-
AC Unit Control
-
Zone Control
NOTE: The behavior and availability of controls within the widget depend on how HVAC objects are mapped in the Configurator. Only the configured and supported parameters are displayed in the Manager interface or mobile application.
-
Controller Objects
Controller objects represent the HVAC system parameters and provide the communication link between the controller and the HVAC device.
Typical objects include:
-
System power (On/Off)
-
Operation mode
-
Fan speed
-
Temperature setpoint
-
Current temperature
-
Current humidity
-
Zone airflow
-
Zone open/close status
These objects can be created manually or automatically generated by supported HVAC integrations.
Climate Control Widget
The Climate Control widget in the Manager interface provides a graphical interface for interacting with HVAC controls.
The widget allows users to:
-
Turn the HVAC system on or off
-
Change operating modes
-
Adjust fan speed
-
Set target temperature
-
Control airflow in individual zones
-
Monitor temperature and humidity levels
