Smart Devices that Can Make Your Air Conditioner Smarter

Make Your AC Smarter: A few smart home gadgets can make an existing air conditioner more convenient and energy-efficient. Smart thermostats, AC controllers and contact sensors can automate cooling and help prevent unnecessary AC usage.

Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium: The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium can work as the control centre for a central AC system. It supports major smart home platforms and lets users adjust temperatures through its display or connected smart-home controls.

SmartSensor Adds More Control: Ecobee's SmartSensor can measure temperature in another part of the house. This can help focus cooling on frequently used spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms and home offices, especially in multi-storey homes.

Sensibo Air Pro: For older window ACs, portable units and ductless mini-splits, Sensibo Air Pro can add smart controls. It works as a Wi-Fi bridge that connects the AC's infrared remote system to the internet.

Control AC From Anywhere: With Sensibo Air Pro, the AC can be controlled through a companion app. Users can turn cooling on before reaching home instead of leaving the AC running for hours while the house is empty.

Automatic Cooling With Climate React: Sensibo's Climate React feature can automatically switch the AC on or off based on temperature and humidity levels. This can help maintain comfortable conditions without relying on constant manual adjustments.

Eve Door & Window Sensor: The Eve Door & Window Contact Sensor can detect when a door or window is open. An open window can allow cooled air to escape, forcing the AC to work harder than necessary.

Pause AC When Windows Stay Open: The Eve sensor can be used with smart-home automation. For example, an AC can be set to pause when a window or patio door remains open for several minutes and resume cooling after it is closed.

Smarter Cooling, Less Waste: These three devices can add automation and better control to different types of AC setups. A smart thermostat suits central cooling, Sensibo can upgrade compatible older ACs, while a contact sensor can help prevent cooling waste.
