This is different to the situation in the US where many (especially older) systems use 24v circuits to control heat/cool/fan etc; these are simple to retrofit with a device like Nest. My previous house had a old "dumb" AC system and I was able to use C-Bus thermostats to control it in this manner. Even new ducted gas systems use dedicated controllers rather than relay controls (and while floor ducts are preferred, you can use ceiling vents as this is what I have in my house). AC manufacturers are coming out with Internet/smartphone compatible systems such as the Daikin SkyFi - and it seems like it should be possible to reverse engineer the protocols There are alsosome other options Re: Ducted reverse cycle heating/cooling + smart thermostat 9Jun 17, 2017 12:25 am Found a solution for anyone who looks at this in the future.
