Energy-Efficient Control

The DKN Plus Interface enables the energy-efficient control of Daikin air conditioners by a third-party thermostat or an automation system. With this interface, third-party devices or systems can control the VRV, SkyAir, and Daikin Single/Multi-Zone indoor units through Cloud API, Modbus, BACnet™ MS/TP, or thermostat relay contacts. This interface can be commissioned with ease through the DKN Cloud North America (NA) app via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
