New Remotec Aircon IR Interface ZXT-600

Remotec has discontinued their ugly IR Interface (ZXT-120) and replaced it with a much more attractive unit the ZXT-600.

The old device was known to Indigo as "IR Thermostat Bridge (ZXT-120)" but the new one, after inclusion just says "General Thermostat (v2)" and lists no configuration parameters in the status. However, I can access critical config parameters unique to the device and it looks nearly identical to the ZXT-120 (except config parameters look like they are 2 bytes now instead of 1).

I'm going to be setting up two of these as replacements for the ZXT-120 sometime in the next few days and will report if I have any problems. At first glance, it looks like they may work.

However, just to be sure, I am using the "Submit A Device" interface to send the status information directly to you so you can see if better support is easily possible.

Thank you.

Hi!

Any further info about the performance of/support for the ZXT-120 with Indigo 7.3.1?

Have been using the previous model with success but have a couple more units to support.

Any further details greatly appreciated.

ZXT-120 or its successor ZXT-600?

120 still works fine as far as I know; it’s the 600 reported above that didn’t.

New Remotec Aircon IR Interface ZXT-600

Whoops!!

I meant the ZXT-600!

Am I to assume that it doesn’t work with Indigo 7.3? Is that because it hasn’t yet been supported, or is it a dud?

If the former is it likely to be supported in the future ie can I risk buying a sample and submitting device details in the usual manner?

If the latter, are there alternatives that will work locally (no internet access) with Daikin codes built in. My understanding is that he Sensibo device and plug in requires access to the Sensibo server.

There’s no reason it won’t ultimately be supported if it isn’t yet; mines the 120 so can’t comment.

Re: New Remotec Aircon IR Interface ZXT-600

I have two of these and added them to Indigo before version 7.5 was out.
They show as General Thermostat v2.

What do I need to do to let Indigo 7.5 recognize them as ZXT-600?

Re: New Remotec Aircon IR Interface ZXT-600

Copy/paste the sync results so we can see how they are identifying themselves. We can get then get it added to the next release of 2021.1, which will be soonish. I can also add it to 7.5, but I don't know when/if we'll be releasing a new build/installer for it.
