How the combined evolution of air conditioning and home automation contributes to energy efficiency

Until recently the classic control systems of air conditioning via home automation disrupted the efficiency of the inverter systems of the air conditioning machines because they were controlled via contacts. Luckily, more and more home automation systems and air conditioning machinery can communicate via gateways. Although these gateways work fine, they have their limitations in terms of programmed commands.
Taken it one step further, there are webservers that control the machines and communicate directly with home automation processors via the development of special drivers. This allows total control of the air conditioning system via home automation without losing functions already incorporated in the system itself.
The domotics act as an interface of the webserver of the air conditioning machinery, which gives a lot of stability because they are not manipulating or interfering with automatisms already programmed in the machine by its manufacturer.

On the other hand, air conditioning is not only used to heat or cool, but also to control the temperature regulation. This happens for instance with underfloor heating systems, where the manufacturers of regulation systems have developed their systems at the same pace as the manufacturers of air conditioning machinery. Therefore, domotic processors also communicate directly with the webservers of the heating regulation systems.

In the end, energy efficiency is achieved through good communication with various control systems. Nowadays, the main objective of domotic systems is the integration of the different climate-control systems in the same interface.

Next to that, the evolution of smartphone apps has been so viral that all manufacturers of air conditioning machinery and energy production systems have developed apps for monitoring and remote control of their installations. This makes it possible to integrate the control of these installations together with the rest of the property in one and the same App.

Finally, the great contribution of home automation to the world of air conditioning is especially found in the control of technical control rooms. Where formerly many different automations had to be used, today a single processor easily handles controlling and reporting.
