Thanks to its pairing device, the Netatmo Smart AC Controller is compatible with all air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps that use an infrared remote control with a screen that displays its settings.
The omni-directional infrared technology means users can place their Smart AC Controller anywhere in the room and connect it to their device in just a few minutes without the need for any modification to existing installations. Installers can check compatibility on check.netatmo.com.
The Smart Controller allows the creation of cooling or heating schedules tailored to the user’s routine in just a few minutes. The user can then adjust the temperature and settings from their smartphone using the Home + Control app. If a family member wants to come home earlier than expected, the user can turn on the AC or heating remotely before they arrive.
The Smart Controller is also compatible with various voice assistants and smart ecosystems, such as Google Home, Alexa, and Apple Home.
By answering just five questions, the user can create a personalised daily schedule tailored to the family’s routine. Programming air conditioner or heat pump according to the time of day and occupancy of the home means homeowners can reduce their electricity bill without sacrificing comfort.
To manage energy consumption even more precisely, the Netatmo Smart Controller has a built-in geolocation function called “Eco-Assist”. This shuts off devices when the users leave the house and switches them back on when they return.
Using temperature and humidity sensors, the Smart AC Controller tracks and analyses changes in the indoor environment. This information is available in real-time, helping users take the right steps to improve their comfort.
The Netatmo Smart AC Controller is available for £99.99 from www.netatmo.com/en-gb, Amazon, Apple, B&Q, Screwfix, Plumbnation, and Currys.
