Take control of each room in your home with the push of a button on any compatible smartphone or tablet via an App using a Wi-Fi / Wireless Interface Adapter. This can help reduce energy wastage and thus save money in cases where you have left the air conditioner running when you left home. 

 

Different brands have different wireless interfaces that connect the indoor unit to the Wi-Fi networks or facilitate internet connection for remote operations over the phone or tablet. There are those that enhance control of only one unit at a go while others can do the same for multiple units simultaneously. To do this, some even involve the use of mobile applications. Among applications that support remote operation are FGLair, Kumo Cloud App, LG Smart AC, and SmartThings. Wireless interface offers interaction with geo-localization, geofencing, weather forecast, voiceover, Mail, Push Notifications, and voice commands on selected ones.

There are two main control frameworks that guide how wireless interface adapters work:

i. Interface adapters that facilitate Wi-Fi connectivity to the local network

Local units can be controlled using smartphones and third-party applications that work for different manufacturers. Such systems can only work when they are within range unless a cloud system is incorporated. Different technologies work for this application. They include Wi-Fi,  Infrared, ZigBee, and Bluetooth.

ii. Adapters that facilitate connectivity for cloud operation

Cloud operation ensures remote control from virtually anywhere by enhancing access to locally hosted data for HVAC systems. All end devices must have a proper connection to the internet together with access. There is assured security and easier software updates without the need for additional infrastructure. One of the challenges that can face such systems is the dependence on the internet whereby unreliable connectivity can trouble the functionality.
