1. Description

1.1. Introduction

This document describes the integration of Mitsubishi Electric’s City Multi series air conditioning systems into Home
Automation systems using the Home Automation (WMP) to Mitsubishi Electric’s Centralized Controller
communication gateway.

The aim of this integration is to monitor and control Mitsubishi Electric City Multi air conditioning system, remotely,
from a Home Automation system. To do it so, Intesis communicates with Intesis WMP protocol, allowing controlling
and update the signals requested from the Home Automation hub.

Up to 50 indoor unit groups (1 Centralized Controller) or 100 indoor unit groups (2 Centralized Controllers) are
supported, depending on the version of the gateway.

This document assumes that the user is familiar with Home Auotomation (WMP) and Mitsubishi Electric technologies
and their technical terms.

1.2. Functionality

IntesisTM continuously monitors all the signals of the Centralized Controller groups for all configured signals and
keeps them updated in its memory available for reading and updating them towards the Home Automation system
via Intesis WMP protocol.

Commands toward the indoor units are permitted.
Each indoor unit is offered as a set of WMP commands.

This gateway allows to control IC and FU Mitsubishi Electric units. Any other unit type might be detected for the
gateway, but no control is available for them. This applies to LC, BU, WH, CEh and sc units.

* There are different models of Intesis WMP – Mitsubishi Electric Centralized Controller each one with different
capacity. The table above shows the capacity for the top model (with maximum capacity).

The 2 different models allow integrating respectively: 1 or 2 Centralized Controllers.
Their order codes are:

▪ INMBSMIT050C000, Model supporting up to 50 City Multi groups.
▪ INMBSMIT100C000, Model supporting up to 100 City Multi groups.

2. Intesis WMP interface

In this section, a common description for all Intesis WMP series gateways is given, from the point of view of the
Home Automation system which is called from now on internal system. Connection with the Mitsubishi Electric CC
is also called from now on external system.

There is a specific Home Automation (WMP) manual available about WMP protocol with available examples. Here
is included the specific information regarding to WMP protocol and its integration in this product, for further
explanations, refer to the refered WMP manual available in www.intesis.com.

2.1. HVAC WMP Commands supported

Intesis WMP commands SET/CHN/GET can be used with the different WMP functions.

2.2. HVAC WMP Functions allowed

Depending on the signal, different commands are allowed. WMP protocol uses different functions to refer to different
signals of the HVAC system.

In the table below are listed the available WMP signals for the HVAC control, the function to identify the signal, its
available values and the commands allowed to interact with them.

Consider that Mitsubishi Electric units type LC, BU, WH, Ceh and cs are not controllable by this gateway.

2.3. Link with Home Automation system

This gateway supports one IP connection to communicate with the home automation hub or central controller but
allows to communicate with several AC units. To identify the ac unit to control from the Home Automation side, WMP
protocol has implemented the acnum parameter. Basically, this parameter links the home automation side identifying
the AC unit to control in the AC system.

Given an AC unit, all its individual signals have one unique acnum and this number is always different among all the
ac units configured in the gateway. Only in some specific cases, outdoor units might share the acnum with one
indoor unit as the commands are independent between themselves.

Acnum is given in the configuration section. See 4.2.5 MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CONFIGURATION for more information.
