    What heat pump brands available in New Zealand would be the easiest/best to integrate with C-Bus?

    I am currently look at these brands:
    Carrier - http://www.carrier.co.nz
    Daikin - http://www.daikin.co.nz
    De'Longhi - http://www.delonghi.com
    Fujitsu - http://www.fujitsu.com
    Hitachi - http://www.hitachi.com
    Mitsubishi - http://www.mitsubishielectric.com
    Panasonic - http://www.panasonic.co.nz
    Quiet Air - Unable to find a manufacturer website.
    Sair - http://www.sair.co.nz
    Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.co.nz

    Is there anything about these brands that would make the integration with C-Bus difficult?

    What should I be looking for and considering when I buy a heat pump that is going to be integrated into a C-Bus Network

    connection to Daikin

    Hi,

    If you want to connect to Daikin's VRV search in google for CoolMaster 1000.
    Using this device you can easily connect to VRV aircon systems through RS232 interface using simple ASCII commands.

    Have recently set up a system with accent air through an rs232 interface over my c-touch serial port.

    was a little painful to set up at first without conflicting replies and sends but once i doll the code up a bit and double check it I will post it in the samples.

    .....................I have a habit of writing way too much code and often double up on my if statements.

    It works pretty well now - the unit has a digital scroll compressor so I didn't end up using the cbus thermostat I was considering.

    I can do most functions and view a reasonable amount of information.........the only things I can't do which are a little bit of a pain is change the setting b/w cool, heat and auto or change b/w high, med and low fan. This means auto might be the best setting to use on the OEM interface.
