Airzone and ecobee collaborate to provide eco-friendly HVAC control automation solutions.
Taking Home Comfort and Energy Efficiency to the Next Level: Airzone Control and ecobee Team Up
June 19, 2025, Sacramento, CA — Airzone Control, a pioneer in intelligent HVAC control solutions, has sealed a strategic partnership with smart home trailblazer ecobee. This groundbreaking alliance is set to revolutionize the integration of Inverter (VRF/mini-split) HVAC units into the ecobee smart home ecosystem, opening up a world of energy-saving automation for the fastest-growing category of HVAC technology.
Airzone and ecobee share a common goal: to perfect everyday life and create a more sustainable future. Through this collaboration, homeowners can now seamlessly integrate the most energy-efficient HVAC units on the market into their ecobee smart homes.
Traditionally, Inverter units such as heat pumps, VRF units, or mini-splits had difficulty communicating directly with smart thermostats. That's where Airzone's game-changing Aidoo Pro control gateway comes in. This incredible piece of tech utilizes an exclusive library of manufacturer protocols, covering all major Inverter unit manufacturers, to establish a smooth communication channel. "With this integration, we're finally making a truly seamless HVAC experience a reality," remarks Adam Welton, Senior Director Channel Marketing, ecobee.
As the collaboration deepens, Airzone works hand-in-hand with ecobee to automate and optimize Inverter HVAC systems. Homeowners with any ecobee Smart Thermostat can program temperature setpoints that align with their daily schedules, saving energy while they're away or asleep. Additional ecobee SmartSensors, which detect occupancy and temperature fluctuations in various rooms, further refine automation, reduce energy consumption, and deliver unparalleled comfort by managing hot and cold spots throughout the home. Plus, homeowners have the freedom to independently control the temperature in their preferred rooms. Through an ecobee Smart Security subscription, SmartSensors on doors and windows can even pause the HVAC system if an entryway is left open — a smart move to curb energy wasted on the outdoors and ensure a more energy-efficient dwelling. The Aidoo Pro translates these commands for each HVAC unit, ensuring flawless temperature control without sacrificing HVAC functionality.
ecobee's flagship Smart Thermostat Premium boasts advanced eco+ features, such as demand response capabilities. These capabilities help prevent blackouts and trim energy bills by precooling or preheating spaces during off-peak hours when energy rates are lowest. "Aidoo composes harmony with ecobee to bring next-gen features to VRF, heat pumps, mini-splits, and other Inverter HVAC units, enhancing energy efficiency and keeping the grid stable — all while reducing homeowners' energy bills," says Victoria Garcia Massimo, Director of Operations, Airzone North America.
The Aidoo Pro integrates with ecobee Smart Thermostats via a reliable wired connection. Users and integrators can remotely monitor and manage the HVAC system via the Airzone Cloud app. The partnership also extends to broad smart home platform support, including Siri, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit, making Airzone and ecobee an unbeatable team in the realm of home automation.
