We’re very excited to announce the new Loxone – CoolAutomation integration. The new partnership enables you to integrate any VRF and major Split HVAC into a Loxone system – using any CoolAutomation device.

CoolAutomation is a global company headquartered in Israel, with tens of thousands of customers in over 90 countries.
The integration is based on the CoolMasterNet from CoolAutomation which allows the control of multiple indoor units from outdoor units over Modbus IP. Control over Modbus RTU is also possible however, this would require the addition of a Loxone Modbus Extension.
As the CoolMasterNET is capable of controlling multiple indoor units, to be able to offer a control mechanism over Modbus it assigns a Virtual Address to each indoor unit and then uses this address as the base address for the Modbus register of that unit. The Coolmaster is capable of auto scanning a particular line and detecting all indoor units connected to it.
To build on the knowledge of Loxone Partners these application notes have been prepared detailing the Loxone integration with the CoolMasterNet device from CoolAutomation.
