Both are Australian-made by Advantage Air. Both deliver up to 10-zone ducted air-con with optional room temperature sensors, smartphone control, and the option to expand into a full smart home setup — lights, garage and more — through the MyPlace ecosystem. Pricing is broadly similar.
The real difference is how the system installs in your home.

Which one suits you?
A simple way to think about it: MyAir suits new home builds, MyPlace IQ suits existing homes.
MyAir for new builds — When your home is being built, the cabling for a hardwired wall tablet can be run easily as part of the build. You get a permanent control point on the wall plus the smartphone app, and the system can be expanded into the broader MyPlace smart home ecosystem at any stage.
MyPlace IQ for existing homes — Retrofitting an established home means fewer cables to run and less mess. The compact Q-Hub plugs into your router and the rest is wireless, so there’s no need to chase new cabling through finished walls. You control everything from your phone, with the option to add a wall tablet if you want one. Like MyAir, IQ can also be expanded into the broader MyPlace smart home ecosystem when you’re ready.
