Fujitsu General has released its next-generation anywAiR technology ducted controller, now featuring a garage door controller and optional sensor add-on.
The anywAiR controller is operated through a wall-mounted touchpad and supported by a wi-fi-enabled mobile app.
Users can create up to 12 programmable scenarios for temperature and airflow control, and leverage active weather features to trigger automatic heating or cooling based on local conditions.
The system supports variable air volume and temperature-controlled zoning for energy savings and customised settings across different spaces.
The updated controller also includes a sleep economiser mode that switches from cooling to fan operation overnight automatically to enhance energy efficiency.
Its Android-based operating system lets users run other applications via the wall-mounted screen.
The addition of the garage door controller and sensor further extends the utility of the platform when combined with the latest version of the anywAiR app.
The system is compatible with panel garage doors and can detect whether the door is open, closed, or in motion.
Fujitsu says the decision to upgrade the controller provides more convenience to users through a single platform, which reflects the evolving role of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
“The updated controller brings new levels of integration and control to Australian homes, enhancing both residential energy efficiency and usability,” Fujitsu General Australia and New Zealand general manager of product and strategy Kyle Rafter says.
“Built-in notifications also alert users if the garage door has been left open for a specified time. This level of visibility and control aligns with a growing desire for centralised home management and greater efficiency.”
