Two-way control of Advantage Air MyAir5 and MyPlace ducted air-conditioning - head unit, every zone, a Climate web page and clock-time schedules, over the local network.
Full two-way RTI control of Advantage Air MyAir5 and MyPlace ducted air-conditioning. The driver talks to the MyAir/MyPlace tablet directly over your local network - no cloud account and no internet needed. It controls the head unit (power, mode, fan and setpoint) and every zone (open/close, target temperature and damper), finds your zones and their names for you, and handles multi-aircon systems with one driver instance per A/C unit. A ready-made Climate web page is served by the processor, and the driver has its own clock-time scheduler with per-zone control. 120-minute free trial; licensed per RTI processor.
Features
- Head unit: power, Cool / Heat / Vent / Dry, fan speed and setpoint with live feedback
- Every zone: open / close, target temperature and damper, with measured temperature, signal and motion
- Discover MyAir Zones fills in zone count, names and sensor flags automatically
- Multi-aircon systems: one instance per A/C unit (East, West...)
- Climate web page served by the processor, plus an optional Show Both Aircons page
- Clock-time schedules with mode, temperature, fan and per-zone actions
- Tag wiring via Aircon / Zone sources or numbered Zone N tags
- Local network only - no cloud account needed
- Debug console and optional remote logging for fast support
Introduction
Advantage Air is an Australian maker of ducted air-conditioning zone control. Its MyAir5 and MyPlace systems run from a wall tablet that controls the A/C unit and opens, closes and sets the temperature of each zone (room).
This driver gives RTI two-way control of a MyAir5 or MyPlace system over the local network. It controls the A/C head unit (power, mode, fan speed, setpoint, MyZone, on/off timer) and every zone (open/close, setpoint, damper opening), and reports full feedback: temperatures, filter and fault status, zone sensor signal and motion. It also hosts a Climate web page on the processor for use as an RTI Web Object, and has its own clock-time scheduler.
Important Note
- Local network only. The driver talks to the MyAir/MyPlace tablet over HTTP on port
2025 (the tablet's local API). No Advantage Air cloud account is used. Give the tablet a DHCP reservation so its IP never changes. - One driver instance per A/C unit. A tablet that runs two A/C units (for example East = ac1, West = ac2) needs the driver added twice, both with the same IP and a different A/C Unit Number. Give each instance a different Web Server Port (for example
9062 and 9063) and a different Debug Port (for example 12527 and 12528). - External service - remote logging (off by default). When Enable Remote Logging is on (or the Remote Logging On function is run), the driver sends its log lines over HTTPS (TLS, port
443) to shpdrivers.services, run by Smart Home Programming and Automation, so we can diagnose a fault remotely. It sends the driver name and A/C unit (myair-ac1, myair-ac2), the driver version, the processor MAC address and the log lines themselves. Nothing else is sent, and nothing at all is sent while it is off. The driver works exactly the same without it.
Driver Features
- A/C head unit: power on / off / toggle; mode Heat, Cool, Vent, Dry; fan Low, Medium, High, Auto; setpoint (set, up, down); MyZone; on and off countdown timers.
- Zones (up to 10 per A/C unit): open, close, toggle; setpoint (set, up, down); damper opening; select (one zone at a time, for layer visibility).
- Feedback: power, mode and fan text plus a boolean per state; setpoint; per-zone open/closed, setpoint, damper, measured temperature, fault, sensor signal and motion; filter-clean, A/C fault and error code; MyAuto, Quiet Night and climate-control status; firmware-update flag.
- Polling: the driver reads the whole system (
getSystemData) every Poll Interval seconds (default 5, range 5-120). Your own commands update the variables at once and are not overwritten by the next poll; changes made at the tablet or the MyAir app show on the next poll. - Connection State:
Disconnected until the first good reply from the tablet, Connected after it, and back to Disconnected when a poll fails. - Climate web page hosted on the processor (no cloud): power, mode, fan, timer, a temperature dial for the unit and a card per zone. Optional Show Both Aircons page.
- Schedules: up to 8 clock-time schedules (time, days, on/off, mode, temperature, fan, and per-zone open/close/temperature), stored on the processor and surviving reboots.
- Events for power, connection, filter, faults, zone open/close/motion/fault, schedule runs and licence trial.
Supported Devices
- Advantage Air MyAir5 and MyPlace systems with the wall tablet on the local network (local API on port
2025). - Up to 8 A/C units per tablet (one driver instance each), up to 10 zones per A/C unit.
- Developed and tested against a MyPlace tablet controlling two A/C units.
System Requirements & Prerequisites
- Integration Designer - 11.0 or above (11.2 or above for the Discover MyAir Zones utility)
- RTI processor - XP-8 class (XP-3 / XP-6 / XP-6s / XP-8 / XP-8s / XP-8v)
- Processor script runtime - 24 or above
- Network - the processor must reach the tablet on TCP
2025. Panels showing the web page must reach the processor on the Web Server Port.
Limitations
- No humidity. The MyAir local API does not report humidity.
- Changes made elsewhere show on the next poll (up to the Poll Interval, default 5 seconds). The tablet does not push changes.
- The MyAir countdown timer is in minutes from now. For on/off at a real time of day, use the driver's own Schedules.
- Schedules use the processor clock. If schedules fire at the wrong hour the processor clock is not on local time; set Schedule Time Offset (min) (the debug console command
sched now shows the time the driver is using). - Import/Export Configuration is not offered in Driver Utilities, because the driver carries the Discover MyAir Zones design-time utility.
- Web page caching on iPads: after updating the driver, force-quit and reopen the RTI app on each iPad that shows the web page, or it may keep showing the old page.
- Two instances on one processor must use different Web Server Ports and Debug Ports.
- Zones beyond 10 per A/C unit are not supported.
