Introducing ZoneIQ

Comfort Made Simple

Creating a perfectly comfortable home shouldn’t be complicated. ZoneIQ, our next generation zone control system, is specifically designed to work with your Mitsubishi Electric Ducted System.

Maximise Efficiencies

Instead of contending with uneven temperatures or wasting energy heating or cooling* unoccupied rooms, ZoneIQ puts precision, efficiency, and effortless control at the centre of your home’s comfort.

Designed for the Way You Live

Every home is unique, its layout, the way sunlight moves throughout the day, how families use each space. That’s why ZoneIQ goes beyond simply switching zones on and off. It allows each space to be set and maintained at its own ideal temperature and intelligently adjusts airflow room by room.

The Perfect Climate in Every Room

The result is consistent comfort where you want it, when you want it, and all while maximising energy savings by only conditioning the rooms you’re actually using.

Understanding the issue

The Drawbacks with Traditional Ducted Systems

In a standard ducted air conditioning system, heating or cooling is delivered to all rooms at the same time, regardless of whether spaces are in use or have reached a comfortable temperature. The system operates from a single thermostat, meaning every room is treated the same.

This can lead to:

  • Over-heating or over-cooling rooms that don’t need conditioning
  • High energy use, as air is supplied to the entire home whenever the system runs
  • Limited comfort control, with no ability to tailor temperatures to individual rooms
  • Inefficient operation, especially in homes with varying room usage

Precision at your fingertips

Room by Room Temperature Control

Instead of relying on a single sensing point, ZoneIQ can use responsive sensors in every zone throughout your home. Each sensor monitors real-time conditions in each zone and sends temperature and humidity information to the ZoneIQ Main Controller for accurate room-by-room control.

What This Means For You

Personalised Comfort

  • Set and maintain precise temperatures for individual zones, so every room feels just right.
  • Temperature settings can be adjusted in ±0.5°C increments, allowing for truly personalised comfort.
  • Easy selection of heating, cooling, auto and fan speed modes.

Stop wasting energy

Maximise Your Energy Savings

Optimal Individual Room Temperature

ZoneIQ compares real-time conditions against each zone’s set temperature and intelligently identifies where comfort is needed. The system then precisely adjusts output to ensure every zone efficiently maintains its optimal target temperature.

No More Heating or Cooling Empty Rooms

Why waste money heating or cooling rooms that are not in use? ZoneIQ allows you to easily turn rooms off that are unoccupied.

Maximise Energy Efficiency

When a zone reaches its set temperature, airflow is automatically reduced to that room and conditioned air is prioritised to the zones that still need it. This prevents over-heating or cooling individual rooms unnecessarily. This targeted control minimises waste, and improves overall system efficiency.

ZoneIQ scheduling

Create Schedules and Timers

ZoneIQ Weekly Scheduling allows your home to adapt seamlessly to how you live. Schedule up to 10 operating patterns across the entire week, set different temperatures for individual rooms,* and turn unused areas off, all while enjoying perfectly timed comfort that runs automatically in the background.

Wake up to a warm home in winter, cool bedrooms before bedtime in summer, and leave the house with confidence knowing your system adjusts itself. Comfort is always there, exactly when you need it.

Smart airflow management

Airflow is Intuitively Adjusted

Not all rooms in your home are the same. Some rooms receive direct sunlight and warm up quickly, while others remain cooler due to shade or limited use.

ZoneIQ intelligently adjusts airflow to suit each room, ensuring the right amount of heating or cooling is delivered* exactly where it’s needed, and only when it’s needed.

For example, the system may increase airflow to busy or sun-exposed rooms and reduce it in quieter or cooler areas that are already at set temperature.

Intelligent Damper Control

ZoneIQ intuitively adjusts dampers in precise 5% increments, allowing airflow to be fine-tuned for each zone.

Users can also manually set how much airflow they want in individual rooms, giving greater control over comfort.

Humidity management

Dry Mode Interlock

ZoneIQ uses advanced sensors to monitor indoor humidity conditions throughout your home. When the unit is operating in Dry Mode it will work to reduce humidity in the air, targeting a user-defined value.*1

Target humidity can be set between 40% and 70%, with ZoneIQ responding to average readings across the home.*2

What This Means for You

  • Dry Mode assists in reducing humidity and lessening the risk of mould and mildew growth.
  • Supports a healthier, more comfortable environment helpful for allergy-sensitive occupants.
  • Targets the desired average humidity in the home, preventing the house from becoming too dry.
  • Perfect for warm, humid days or nights when the air can feel sticky.
  • Supports a more balanced indoor feel upon returning home.

*1 Dry mode interlock does not increase humidity in the home.
*2 Humidity reduction may vary depending on ambient conditions. Results may differ or not always be immediately visible.

Control from anywhere

Beyond the home

ZoneIQ Designed for Commercial Applications Too

ZoneIQ delivers intelligent climate control for commercial environments, recognising that different people prefer different temperatures. By eliminating the common “fight for the thermostat,” it creates a more comfortable and balanced workplace.

By dividing a building into independent zones, each area can be set to its own ideal conditions,* significantly improving overall comfort and workplace productivity. Spaces such as meeting rooms often used intermittently throughout the day can be switched off when unoccupied and activated only when needed, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Advanced scheduling allows each zone to operate according to actual usage patterns, ensuring heating or cooling* occur only where and when they are required. With support for up to 10 Zone Remote Controllers, businesses gain precise control over each zone. For larger or irregular spaces, multiple sensors can be installed within a single zone - the system averages these readings to deliver highly accurate and consistent temperature control.
