Yep - IR doesn't sound like a good plan then - plus you get no monitoring either - i.e. if someone changes the temp using the remote, openHAB will have no idea. Much better to go with one that has a proper API.

for me I was going to go with Daikin but the panasonic unit was $2000 less and more efficient :)

Yep, that would change my mind, I'm in west Auckland, would you recommend the guys you used?

I used EES, for a 8 duct system it came to around $9000ish (with the wifi module and a cut off to the living areas).

Thanks reven, That's good, EES is one of the Companies I had chosen to come and give us a quote.
