Combining elegant design, intuitive touchscreen and smart energy-saving features, it has already earned the prestigious Good Design Award 2025.
Intuitive control designed around simplicity
Madoka Plus was designed and tailored for hotels, offices, and retail premises where usability is key. Daikin put simplicity at the core of its controls development, placing the four most-used functions on the home screen for instant access. Smart visual cues such as color-coded modes, animations, and multilingual navigation make the system status clear at a glance. For users and installers alike, usability is enhanced through streamlined screen flows and responsive touch interactions. These improvements cut commissioning time and reduce callbacks – ensuring faster, more efficient on-site work.

It’s sleek 86×86 mm glass design, matching standard wall socket size, blends seamlessly into modern interiors. Available in black or white colours, it delivers a clean, sophisticated look without compromise. Its timeless design pairs advanced energy-saving capabilities with connectivity via the refreshed Madoka Assistant app. This empowers businesses to optimize comfort settings and control efficiency effortlessly. Backed by Daikin’s proven HVAC expertise, Madoka Plus delivers reliability and performance for demanding commercial buildings. Following its teaser debut at the Climatización y Refrigeración trade fair in Madrid in November 2025, Madoka Plus will launch in summer 2026.
