Effortless touchscreen control designed for users

Madoka Plus puts simplicity first, with an intuitive, touch-based user experience that makes daily operation effortless. Through simple navigation using taps and swipes, users benefit from fast access to key settings, real-time feedback and clear visual guidance through colours, icons and animations.

The wide, colour touchscreen and streamlined interface provide immediate clarity, allowing users to view temperature, mode and airflow settings at a glance. Multi-language support ensures accessibility across diverse environments, making Madoka Plus particularly suited to international commercial applications. The result is intuitive, faster and effortless daily climate control across hotels, offices, retail spaces and other commercial settings, making it easy for anyone to operate. 

Award-winning Madoka Plus design for modern interiors

Recognised with a Good Design Award 2025 for its premium aesthetics and user-centric design, Madoka Plus combines form and function in a compact 86×86 mm glass format available in timeless black or white to blend seamlessly into modern interiors. 

Easy-to-activate energy-saving functions

Beyond its elegant design, Madoka Plus helps improve energy efficiency through easy-to-activate saving functions complemented by an optional range of intelligent and wireless sensors enabling advanced monitoring and automated control. These sensors – including a Door & Window sensor, Motion sensor, Temperature & Humidity sensor and CO₂ sensor – communicate directly with the controller, providing real-time data on room conditions.

Using this data, users can create interlocking logic via the refreshed Madoka Assistant app. This enables automated and predefined actions such as:

  • Adjusting temperature based on occupancy
  • Switching off systems when windows are open
  • Activating dry mode in high humidity
  • Optimising ventilation based on CO₂ levels

Faster commissioning and diagnostics for installers 

Developed based on extensive installer feedback, Madoka Plus speeds up service tasks through intuitive touchscreen navigation and fast commissioning. Built-in diagnostics, including last error history and operational parameters, make troubleshooting easier and reduce on-site time and callbacks.

Madoka Plus was designed and developed at Daikin Europe's new R&D facility in Ghent, Belgium. Backed by Daikin's proven HVAC expertise and reliability, Madoka Plus marks the next evolution in Daikin's control solutions for commercial applications and is available across Europe from July 2026.
