Remotec ZXT-600 AC Master Z-Wave

The Remotec $\text{ZXT-600 AC Master}$ is an essential $\text{Z-Wave}$ $\text{Plus}$ certified bridge for seamlessly integrating traditional $\text{IR}$-controlled split air conditioners and heat pump units into any modern smart home ecosystem. Designed to function as a smart thermostat, this powerful controller instantly converts $\text{Z-Wave}$ commands from your hub into the specific infrared signals your $\text{AC}$ understands. Say goodbye to proprietary $\text{AC}$ smart solutions and unlock universal climate control and automation for a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space. It works flawlessly with any $\text{Z-Wave}$ compliant gateway, ensuring wide compatibility and easy setup.

Functionalities

Universal $\text{AC}$ Control & Compatibility: The $\text{ZXT-600}$ acts as a $\text{Z-Wave}$ thermostat, granting your smart home system full command over your air conditioner’s core functions: power, mode ($\text{Cool}$, $\text{Heat}$, $\text{Dry}$, $\text{Fan Only}$, $\text{Auto}$), fan speed, and temperature setpoint. Its industry-leading, built-in $\text{IR}$ code library covers over $\text{250}$ brands of $\text{AC}$ units globally, providing best-in-class model coverage. For unsupported models, it features an advanced $\text{IR}$ code learning function and leverages an ever-green, up-to-date cloud-based $\text{IR}$ code library to ensure nearly universal compatibility.

Smart Home Integration & Feedback: The device includes an integrated temperature sensor that delivers accurate room temperature feedback directly to your $\text{Z-Wave}$ gateway. This feature is crucial for creating precise automation scenes, ensuring your home remains at the ideal climate setting. It supports the $\text{Z-Wave}$ $\text{OTA}$ ($\text{Over-The-Air}$) firmware upgrade capability, allowing it to receive updates and remain current within your smart network.

Flexible Power and Network Roles: The $\text{AC Master}$ offers dual power options ($\text{2 \times AA}$ batteries or $\text{5V DC USB}$ power) which determine its network behavior. When running on $\text{USB}$ power, the device operates as an "always awake" node, functioning as a $\text{Z-Wave}$ repeater to strengthen and extend the mesh network. When running on batteries, it operates in a sleeping mode ($\text{FLiRS}$) to ensure a long battery life (up to $\text{1}$ year).

Advanced $\text{IR}$ Output: For optimal control, the unit features a wide-angle, integrated $\text{5}$-direction $\text{IR}$ emitter for hemispherical coverage. Additionally, it provides a $\text{3.5mm}$ jack output to connect an optional external $\text{IR}$ emitter cable, allowing for discrete control of $\text{AC}$ units that are out of sight or for managing multiple units in the same room without signal interference.
