INTESIS: remote AC control and multibrand heat pumps

When it comes to HVAC integration, INTESIS by HMS Networks is one of the leading names in the industry. The brand develops gateways and interfaces that connect air conditioners, heat pumps and building automation systems to the main standard protocols — KNX, BACnet, Modbus, Cloud — simplifying installation, supervision and energy control of systems.

In this article we present two solutions from the INTESIS range that are particularly popular with our partners: a gateway for cloud control of any air conditioner, and a multibrand interface for air-to-water heat pumps, which as of July has further expanded its compatibility with new brands.

AC Cloud Control: one gateway, any air conditioner

The first product is the Universal IR AC Cloud Control gateway (code INT_INWFIUNI001I000), designed for anyone who wants to make an already installed air conditioner controllable remotely, without having to replace it.

This is a cloud-based solution: the gateway communicates with the air conditioning unit via an infrared receiver and connects to the cloud network over Wi-Fi. The result is a system that can be managed from an app or the web, with the ability to control multiple units of different brands and models from a single dashboard.

Key features include:

• Universal compatibility : works with any air conditioner equipped with an IR receiver, regardless of brand

• Advanced scheduling : 365-day programming and operating limits to optimize energy consumption

• Smart home integration : compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri Shortcuts and IFTTT drag embedded asset published INT INWFIUNI001I000

An ideal solution for multi-site projects, where it's necessary to manage heterogeneous systems without having to intervene on the existing infrastructure.

Multibrand heat pumps: now also Baxi and Ferroli

The second product is the multibrand air-to-water heat pump gateway with dual BACnet and KNX protocol (code INT_IN790ATW100A000), designed for those integrating domestic hot water production into their supervision systems.

The gateway manages up to 5 units and 100 data points, and is configured through Intesis MAPS, the proprietary tool that provides predefined templates, reducing engineering time and configuration errors.

The most significant update concerns compatibility itself: as of July, the range of supported brands has expanded with the addition of Baxi and Ferroli, joining brands already covered such as Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi Heavy, NIBE, Atlantic, Midea, Gree and Carrier. An expansion that opens up the solution to an even greater number of systems already installed across Italy.

Key features:

• Extended multibrand compatibility , now including Baxi and Ferroli

• Native dual protocol , KNX and BACnet, for domestic hot water production

• Fast configuration with Intesis MAPS: zero manual mapping thanks to predefined templates

Why choose INTESIS

Both solutions share the philosophy that makes INTESIS a benchmark in the industry: reducing the complexity of integrating heterogeneous systems with supervision platforms, without compromising on reliability or installation time. Whether it's a single air conditioner or a complex system with multiple heat pumps, the INTESIS range offers the right tool to bring any HVAC system under a single control logic.
