When users are coming home – Welcoming atmosphere. The air conditioner automatically turn on and helps cool down/warm up selected rooms.

 

When users go away from home – Ensures energy savings: The air conditioner automatically turns off or adopts a pre-selected economic temperature. Users will no longer worry about mistakenly leaving the AC on when they go out of the house. 

 

Energy Cost Estimator to control utility expenses*.

 

airCloud Home’s latest improvements also features an exhaustive energy cost estimator. It includes the tracking of AC operation and consumption, monthly/weekly/daily comparison and, most of all, a budget management tool.

By coupling the usage of the Energy Cost Estimator together with the intuitive scheduling and Smart-Fence functionalities, airCloud Go can help reduce the energy bill by cutting unnecessary air conditioning. It will benefit to the users and the environment.
