Here is how I spent my Tuesday at Nextgear Capitol .

The existing Honeywell WBS 8000 JACE was replaced with a new JACE-9000 controller. The controller was commissioned using the latest software version, the license was imported from Honeywell’s server, and WebStation was reloaded. The JACE secondary port was configured as a DHCP server.
A new Honeywell Optimizer Unitary Controller was installed on Heat Pump Unit 101 to replace the existing stand-alone thermostat. New Cat-6 cabling was installed from the JACE network switch to the unit, and IP communications were successfully established with the controller. Internal heat pump wiring was retrofitted as required, and all necessary sensors were installed. A new TR22 wall module was installed.
A custom wire-sheet control program was developed using an IRM control pallet and loaded into the controller. The controller was fully integrated into WebStation, and a new points database was created. Alarms and trends were configured. The unit was commissioned and functionally tested.
New unit graphics were created, and the floorplan and unit list graphics were updated accordingly. A new station backup was completed upon project completion.

Honeywell and Tridium have announced a limited-time upgrade program that allows existing WEB-8000 JACE owners to transfer their Niagara Framework® license to the new HON-9000 JACE controller. This promotion provides a cost-effective path to future-proofing your building automation system ahead of the Niagara 5 release. The future software will exceed the limits of the 8000 JACE hardware and therefore cannot run in the 8000 JACE. Honeywell is not charging for the core license and SMA device count in this transfer so the savings could be several thousand dollars, which is what a JACE replacement could cost after the expiration of the promotion.
Indy Controls is bringing this to the customers’ attention for purposes of budgeting in this upgrade before June 2026. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Alpha Epsilon Phi Bloomington
Another successful Indy Controls/Honeywell WEBS project, teamed up with Harrell-Fish Inc. New air handler, AC units, and Building Automation System. Just in time for the return of students to school. This system will maintain reliable and efficient temperature and humidity control of the Dining Room and Chapter Room.

The Honeywell Optimizer T1L controller is the newest product from Honeywell. It is BACnet IP over two wire cable. It can re-use existing LON or BACnet network wiring greatly reducing installation cost.
I was the first to get my hands on one last week. Wrote a custom heat pump program with custom graphics and integrated a working model for a loyal Indy Controls customer. We are all impressed with its functionality and speed. I believe this is the wave of the future.

Replaced louvers and dampers. Another successful project for Indy Controls.
