Tpoint built smart fully autonomous outdoor squash courts for a Country Club. The courts were fully automated and do not require any human intervention from the country club's side.

Tpoint uses a unique application that provides the squash players with full control over the curt: court orders and payment, finding partners, controlling the lighting, doors, HVAC, and more. The idea behind Tpoint's application was to scale the court's concept; a solution that can be recreated globally,  while using Tpoint's app. 

The integration challenge

The challenge of this project was to fully implement the HVAC control into Tpoint'd app, without the need to use an additional HVAC control app for this purpose.

Tpoint also wanted to recreate the court's concept in every new court it builds around the world. This means that the HVAC equipment may vary in a specific site, but Tpoint will not have to redevelop the integration specification. 

The solution

CoolAutomation's solution connects with all the VRF HVAC brands through unified API, making this solution transferable

Instead of relying on local protocols, Tpoint has decided to use the CoolAutomation Developers API solution (REST API platform. CoolAutomation Developers API solution allows for full integration with developed apps that need to communicate directly with CoolMasterNet through the cloud. This ability enabled the squash players to control the VRF HVAC and all the indicated functions, directly through Tpoint's app. 

CoolAutomation's solution connects with all the VRF HVAC brands through unified API, making this solution transferable and allowing Tpoint to implement it in other integration sites with no need to redevelop the integration in every site.
