What is PIXIE CLIMATIQ? Smart air con. Smarter home.
What if your ducted AC, ceiling fans, and lighting were not three separate systems, but one flexible, wireless ecosystem you could grow over time?
That is the idea behind PIXIE CLIMATIQ, SAL's climate-first evolution of the PIXIE smart home platform. CLIMATIQ combines wireless ducted air conditioning control, wireless zone control, and smart home integration for everything that opens, closes, dims, switches, and spins into a single solution built on PIXIE's proven Bluetooth mesh.
Wireless whole-home climate plus smart home, in one.
Instead of old-school wired zoning systems that only think about ductwork and dampers, CLIMATIQ uses PIXIE's proven Bluetooth mesh to connect Daikin ducted AC, zone control, ceiling fans, and room controls into a single flexible solution.

For electricians and AC installers
Retrofit CLIMATIQ with minimal disruption. Add control points wherever power is available. Layer in smart home extras like lighting scenes, schedules, and access control using the same platform.
🏡
For homeowners
Simple app-based control at home or away. Optional wall controls like PIXIE HALO and the PIXIE Touch Panel. The comfort of knowing your climate system is ready to grow into a full smart home whenever you are.
Climate and "smart" should not be two separate worlds.
In most homes today, climate and smart are treated as separate domains, with separate vendors, separate apps, and separate logic. The result is complexity for installers and confusion for homeowners.
The old model
Two systems, two vendors, two headaches.
- The AC is handled by one vendor with fixed wired control panels and proprietary zoning hardware.
- A separate smart home system, if it exists at all, looks after lights and switches.
- Two apps. Two installers. Two service calls when something goes wrong.
- No way for the AC to coordinate with fans, blinds, or scenes.
The CLIMATIQ model
One ecosystem, one app, one platform.
- Climate is the entry point. Where most home tech budgets actually go.
- The same platform extends into lighting, fans, scenes, and access control.
- One app, one installer relationship, one ecosystem.
- Wireless mesh means new control points can be added wherever there is power.
CLIMATIQ flips that model. It starts where budgets really go, climate control, and then uses the PIXIE ecosystem to extend that investment into a full smart home when the time is right.
Four building blocks on the PIXIE mesh.
CLIMATIQ uses PIXIE's Bluetooth mesh to join four core building blocks into a single, flexible solution. Each works on its own; together they form a whole-home climate system that can grow into a full smart home.
AC control
- Interfaces to supported ducted indoor AC units, starting with Daikin.
- On / off, mode, setpoint, and fan speed control directly via PIXIE.
- No proprietary tablet required. Standard PIXIE app or wall control.
Wireless zone control
- Dedicated CLIMATIQ zone controllers for 24V AC dampers.
- Support for common Australian zoning layouts and spill zones.
- No long home-run control cabling for wall panels.
Ceiling fans and smart home devices
- Integrations with compatible fan brands.
- Native control of PIXIE lighting, relays, LED strip controllers, and power points.
- Coordinated scenes across climate and lighting in one tap.
User interfaces and app control
- PIXIE PLUS app for local and remote control, scenes, and schedules.
- Optional wall-mounted controls including PIXIE Touch Panel.
- Upcoming PIXIE HALO circular room controller for combined climate, fans, and lighting in one interface.
Because everything talks over the PIXIE mesh, installers can add control points wherever they have power, without needing to rewire the house for low-voltage control buses.
One platform. Everything that opens, closes, dims, switches, and spins.
CLIMATIQ sits at the centre of a PIXIE smart home: ducted AC, zoning, ceiling fans, lighting, blinds, and the wider PIXIE device family, all on the same Bluetooth mesh, all controlled from the same app.
One platform that grows with the home, instead of three or four single-purpose systems that fight each other.
PIXIE CLIMATIQ ecosystem: smart air con plus smart home in a single platform
Smarter installs. More margin per project.
For electricians and AC contractors, CLIMATIQ delivers three things that change the economics of a typical install.
🔧
Simpler installs and retrofits
- Wireless control paths reduce the need for dedicated cabling.
- Ideal for existing homes and renovations where running new wires is costly.
- Add control where it is needed, not where the cable will reach.
💰
One platform, more revenue
- Capture both the climate and smart home spend using a single ecosystem.
- Add lighting, fans, and scenes to climate jobs without introducing another system.
- Higher average project value with the same install crew.
📐
Scalable and repeatable
- From single-storey homes to multi-zone ducted systems.
- Easy to standardise across builders, display homes, and repeat fit-outs.
- One platform to learn, one platform to support.
Comfort that grows with the home.
For homeowners, CLIMATIQ means a climate system that does more than chase a setpoint, and a path to a true smart home that does not require ripping anything out.
🌡️
Comfort and control
- AC, fans, and lights working together, not fighting each other.
- Scenes like Goodnight or Away that adjust climate and lighting in one tap.
- Real comfort, not just a colder room.
🎛️
Room interfaces that make sense
- App control when you want it.
- Physical controls like PIXIE HALO and PIXIE Touch Panels where you naturally reach for them.
- Voice control via your existing platform when you have it.
🌱
Future-ready
- Start with climate control today.
- Add more smart home features later using the same PIXIE ecosystem.
- Start small and scale, or go all-in on day one. PIXIE adapts seamlessly.
What traditional zoning cannot easily deliver.
PIXIE CLIMATIQ gives you what wired, single-purpose zoning systems cannot easily deliver. A wireless climate platform that is genuinely part of a smart home, not a parallel system grafted on the side.
The CLIMATIQ promise
Wireless whole-home climate plus smart home, in one ecosystem.
For installers, it is a smarter way to deliver comfort, control, and margin. For homeowners, it is a climate system that is ready to become a true smart home, not something that needs replacing to get there.
Wireless climate control plus smart home. One system. PIXIE.
