MyAir & MyPlace IQ – Smart Zoning and Control

MyAir by Advantage Air: Smart Zoning and Control for Your Air Conditioning System

The MyAir system by Advantage Air is a cutting-edge, third-party zone controller designed to replace proprietary brand wall controllers. It seamlessly integrates with your air conditioning unit, taking full control over temperature, fan speed, and mode settings. With advanced features like timers and intelligent “Events” functionality, MyAir ensures your home is always comfortable while maximizing energy efficiency.

Key Features of MyAir

  1. Intelligent “Events” Functionality
    MyAir goes beyond simple timers. Its “Events” feature considers not only the time and day but also the temperature in your postcode. This allows you to:

    • Optimize solar power usage on clear, sunny days.

    • Start cooling earlier on hot days to ensure your home is comfortable when you arrive.

    • Adjust settings based on early morning temperatures for added efficiency.

  2. Compatibility with Leading Brands
    MyAir is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of air conditioning brands, including:

    • Daikin and Daikin VRV

    • LG and LG VRF

    • Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi VRF

    • Fujitsu, Panasonic, and more

  3. 8” or 10” Touch Screen Tablet
    The system includes an 8” touch screen tablet (with an optional 10” model featuring more internal memory). The tablet is hardwired to the control box, which connects to your indoor unit, and is linked to your home network via Wi-Fi.

  4. Full-Function Android Tablet
    The MyAir tablet is a fully functional Android device, allowing you to:

    • Download apps like “Any List” for shopping lists.

    • Watch cooking tutorials on YouTube.

    • Monitor your front door with the “Ring” doorbell app.

    • Stay connected on social media platforms like Facebook.

  5. Remote Control via the MyPlace App
    Once connected to your home network, MyAir allows you to control your air conditioning system from anywhere in the world using the MyPlace app. The app mirrors the tablet interface and supports voice control for added convenience.

  6. Individual Zone Control
    With optional temperature sensors installed in each zone, MyAir provides precise control over individual room temperatures. The system uses variable opposed blade dampers to fine-tune airflow and enable zone-specific on/off functionality.

  7. Expandable Home Automation
    The MyPlace platform can be expanded to integrate other smart home features, including:

    • Lighting

    • Curtains

    • Garage doors

    • Pool pumps
      And more, offering a complete home automation solution.

  8. 5-Year Warranty
    MyAir comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty on both parts and labour, providing peace of mind and long-term reliability—unlike many other zone controllers that offer only a 1-year “parts-only” warranty.

 

MyPlace IQ by Advantage Air

The MyPlace IQ by Advantage Air is a sophisticated third-party zone control system designed to enhance the functionality and flexibility of various air conditioning systems. Unlike traditional systems that rely on physical wall controllers, MyPlace IQ leverages smart devices (via an app) to control temperature, fan speed, and modes. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and advantages:

Key Features of MyPlace IQ:

  1. No Physical Wall Controller:

    • Instead of a dedicated wall-mounted controller, MyPlace IQ uses your smart devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) as controllers via the MyPlace IQ app.

  2. Compatibility with Multiple Brands:

    • It is highly flexible and compatible with a wide range of air conditioning brands, including:

      • Daikin (including Daikin VRV)

      • LG (including LG VRF)

      • Mitsubishi (including Mitsubishi VRF)

      • Fujitsu

      • Panasonic

      • And more.

  3. Hub-Based System:

    • The system uses a central hub that connects to your home Wi-Fi network.

    • Temperature sensors and the control box connect to this hub, enabling seamless communication between the system and your smart devices.

  4. Zone Control:

    • MyPlace IQ allows for precise control of individual zones within your home.

    • It uses variable opposed blade dampers to regulate airflow, enabling finer control and the ability to turn zones on or off.

    • Temperature sensors in each zone ensure the system maintains the desired set temperature.

  5. Remote Access:

    • Once connected to your home Wi-Fi, the system can be controlled from anywhere in the world via the MyPlace IQ app.

    • This remote access provides convenience and flexibility for users.

  6. 5-Year Warranty:

    • MyPlace IQ offers a 5-year warranty on both parts and labour, which is significantly better than many other zone controllers that typically offer only a 1-year warranty (and often only on parts).

How It Differs from MyAir:

  • The primary difference lies in the hub used by MyPlace IQ. The hub connects all temperature sensors and the control box to your Wi-Fi network, enabling centralized control and communication.

  • MyPlace IQ is designed to be more cost-effective than MyAir, as it requires fewer components and eliminates the need for a physical tablet or wall-mounted controller. By leveraging your existing smart devices, it reduces both upfront and long-term costs while maintaining advanced functionality.

Wi-Fi Control and Smart Integration:

  • MyPlace IQ aligns with the growing trend of Wi-Fi-enabled air conditioning control.

  • Many brands now offer Wi-Fi modules or built-in Wi-Fi connectivity (e.g., Daikin Zena, LG WH series), but MyPlace IQ provides a unified solution for multi-brand systems.

  • The app allows for voice control integration (e.g., Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa) depending on the brand and setup.

Advantages of MyPlace IQ:

  1. Flexibility:

    • Works with a wide range of air conditioning brands and systems.

    • Ideal for homes with mixed-brand HVAC systems.

  2. Precision Control:

    • Advanced zone control with variable dampers and temperature sensors ensures optimal comfort in each zone.

  3. Remote Access:

    • Control your air conditioning system from anywhere in the world via the app.

  4. Long Warranty:

    • The 5-year warranty on parts and labour provides peace of mind and reflects the brand’s confidence in its product.

  5. Future-Proof:

    • As Wi-Fi control becomes a standard feature in air conditioning systems, MyPlace IQ ensures compatibility and integration with evolving technologies.

Comparison with Brand-Specific Wi-Fi Solutions:

  • While many brands now offer Wi-Fi control (e.g., Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi), these solutions are often limited to their own systems.

  • MyPlace IQ stands out as a universal solution that can integrate and control multiple brands, making it ideal for homes or buildings with diverse HVAC systems.

Conclusion:

The MyPlace IQ by Advantage Air is a powerful and flexible zone control system that leverages smart technology to provide precise, remote-controlled air conditioning management. Its compatibility with multiple brands, advanced zone control capabilities, and robust warranty make it a standout choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their HVAC systems. As Wi-Fi control becomes increasingly standard, MyPlace IQ ensures you stay ahead with a future-proof, multi-brand solution.
