Introduction
TheZXT‐120isaZ‐WavetoIRextenderforair‐conditioner(AC),
(Figure1),itworkswithanyZ‐Wavecompliantgatewayorcontroller
bytranslatingZ‐WaveThermostatCommandstoACIRcontrolcode.
UsercanselecttheIRcodefromthebuilt‐incodelibraryofZXT‐120,
oruselearningfunction,byusingZ‐WaveConfigurationCommands
accordingtotheparametertable.ZXT‐120isalsowithbuilt‐in
temperaturesensorwhichallowsgatewayorcontrollertogetthe
currentroomtemperature.
