Cooling intelligently:
Smart air conditioning control
Integrate air conditioning into your building automation system: AC Control Air
Whether it’s healthy sleep, concentrated work or our own well-being – being too hot has a negative impact on all areas of our lives. As the climate gets warmer and periods of heat last longer, air conditioning is often the most effective option for keeping rooms cool. However, if controlled incorrectly, the pleasant coolness often comes in combination with not being comfortable and a high electricity bill.
The AC Control Air removes this, optimising your AC for maxomum comfort and energy efficiency. The AC Control Air is perfect for controlling air conditioning systems with Loxone. Installation takes just a few minutes – and the air conditioning system is then fully integrated into the smart HVAC control system.

Smart air conditioning systems: cosy temperatures, low energy consumption
The intelligent control system takes into account all of the different factors that affect the perfect indoor climate, including your own preferences, the weather, maximum cooling capacity and more. Loxone uses all these criteria to make exactly the right decisions at exactly the right times to ensure you always feel comfortable. All whilst performing in the most energy efficient way possible.
Maximum comfort, efficient protection against overheating
How does the smart control of the air conditioning system work? Basically, we differentiate between two different operating modes:
Eco Mode
In Eco Mode, the air conditioning system runs as energy-efficiently as possible and protects the room from overheating. Once the room has been cooled by the configured hysteresis, the air conditioning system automatically switches off again. Eco Mode is intended for when nobody is in the building.
Comfort Mode
In Comfort Mode, the air conditioning system ensures that the desired temperature is maintained with minimal noise. If the comfort temperature is exceeded, the system automatically starts to cool. Once the desired temperature is reached, it runs constantly at a minimum level and thus maintains the temperature. Comfort Mode is intended for times when the building is occupied.
Control the air conditioning with the Loxone App
On or off? What is the target temperature? Loxone regulates all these points fully automatically for you. Nevertheless, you can always check on your air conditioning system and make temporary manual changes should you wish. The Loxone App allows you to intuitively operate your entire building automation system – even when you’re on the move.
Cool favourably: The air conditioning system as part of energy management
Thanks to our intelligent automation, the air conditioning system runs as energy-efficiently as possible. But that’s not all: if the air conditioning unit is integrated into Loxone, it becomes part of our comprehensive energy management system!
Control air conditioning with PV surplus
When it’s hot, the sun shines. And when the sun shines, photovoltaic systems produce electricity. So it makes sense to use the energy generated to keep your own four walls cool. With Loxone, this exact thing happens completely automatically.
Take advantage of cheap electricity: The Spot Price Optimizer
Get the most out of flexible electricity tariffs: our Spot Price Optimizer automatically determines the hours when electricity is cheapest. If your air conditioning system is integrated into Loxone, you can use precisely these hours to cool your rooms.
Heating with the air conditioning system
As pleasantly cool as air conditioning is in the summer, it can be just as cosy and warm on cooler days! This is particularly useful for heating up rooms quickly saving on overall energy costs. Loxone automatically recognises when each heating source makes sense to use, therefore turning the air conditioning unit into an intelligent component of the overall heating system.
