What is PIXIE CLIMATIQ: Smart Air Con, Smarter Home

What if your ducted AC, ceiling fans and lighting weren’t three separate systems, but one flexible, wireless ecosystem you could grow over time?

That’s 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.

PIXIE CLIMATIQ – Wireless Whole-Home Climate + Smart Home In One Ecosystem

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.

Electricians and AC installers can retrofit CLIMATIQ with minimal disruption, add control points wherever power is available, and then layer in smart home extras like lighting scenes, schedules and access control using the same platform.

For homeowners, that means simple, app-based control at home or away, optional wall controls like PIXIE HALO, PIXIE Touch Panel and the comfort of knowing their climate system is ready to grow into a full smart home whenever they are.

Why PIXIE CLIMATIQ Exists

In most homes today, climate and “smart” are treated separately:

• The AC system is handled by one vendor, often with fixed wired control panels and proprietary zoning hardware.
• A separate smart home system may look after lights, switches and scenes, if it exists at all.

This creates complexity for installers and confusion for homeowners.

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.

How PIXIE CLIMATIQ Works

CLIMATIQ uses the PIXIE Bluetooth mesh to join together:

AC Control

• Interfaces to supported ducted indoor AC units (starting with Daikin)
• On/off, mode, setpoint and fan speed control via PIXIE

Wireless Zone Control

• Dedicated CLIMATIQ zone controllers for 24 V AC dampers
• Support for common Australian zoning layouts and spill zones
• No long home-run control cabling for wall panels

Ceiling Fans & Smart Home Devices

• Integrations with compatible fan brands
• Native control of PIXIE lighting, relays, LED strip controllers and power points

User Interfaces & App Control

• PIXIE PLUS app for local and remote control, scenes and schedules
• Optional wall-mounted controls, including the 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.

PIXIE CLIMATIQ Benefits For Installers

For electricians and AC contractors, CLIMATIQ delivers:

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

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

Scalable, repeatable solutions

• From single-storey homes to multi-zone ducted systems
• Easy to standardise across builders, display homes and repeat fit-outs

PIXIE CLIMATIQ Benefits For Homeowners

For homeowners, CLIMATIQ means:

Comfort and control

• AC, fans and lights working together rather than fighting each other
• Scenes like “Goodnight” or “Away” that adjust climate and lighting in one tap

Room interfaces that make sense

• App control when you want it
• Physical controls like PIXIE HALO & PIXIE Touch Panels where you naturally reach for them

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 day one – PIXIE adapts seamlessly – its how its built.

The PIXIE CLIMATIQ Promise

PIXIE CLIMATIQ gives you what traditional wired zoning systems can’t easily deliver:

Wireless whole-home climate + smart home in one ecosystem.

For installers, it’s a smarter way to deliver comfort, control and margin.

For homeowners, it’s a climate system that’s ready to become a true smart home, not something they need to replace to get there.
