Finding a ductless split that doesnÂt use wireless infrared communication with a remote stat or DDC type communication with a wall stat, is just about impossible. The major reason for this is most are manufactured or was at least designed overseas, thus the technology.

I can think of one company, EMI by ECR Int. with some US roots, located in central NY that has AC/HP wall units that can still use a remote wired wall stat that should give you the contacts/points to control operation with a main control interface.

Here is a link that might be useful: EMI

It's been a couple weeks since my original post and hoping someone out there may have a solution (thanks zl700 but I need something that can work with locally-serviced product).

Of all the products I have looked at - Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi, Daiken and Fujitsu - none have ductless mini-split systems compatible with home automation systems. I'm hoping there is a solution out there??? I can't see myself installing a "dumb" air conditioning system. Any help is appreciated!

Being in Hawaii, I can certainly understand the abundance of Asian units around you.

You have given up early though, EMI is dsitributed and sold on the island also.
