The first question when we tell a customer that we offer smart home is: “Can I run air conditioning / air conditioning through my phone?”. Yes you can, but it’s not a smart home. A smart home is a sequence of interconnected devices and systems in your home. This gives you control and the opportunity to improve its energy efficiency, security and increase the comfort and convenience of the house. However, air conditioning has an important place in your home (smart or not), because it requires a considerable energy resource, but also because it creates comfort.
If you want to learn about all the advantages, benefits, possibilities and way of working of Smart Home systems, read our article – “Smart home system – what is it and its benefits?”
Air conditioning in the smart home, smart air conditioning or so-called intelligent air conditioners, are gaining more and more popularity. Each manufacturer of air conditioning equipment implements in their products the ability to control air conditioning through your smartphone or tablet by installing mobile app.
Popular air conditioning control /climatic/ is the ability to choose the temperature in the room and its change according to the time range of the day. This brings some relief to consumers, but not enough. IoT technologies (Internet of Things) are increasingly entering the world. This necessitated the creation of air conditioning management through a smart device. However, we are of the opinion that apart from controlling the system online, it should also have more advantages in order to call it an intelligent part of a smart home.
Benefits and functionality of smart air conditioning?
Smart air conditioning and air conditioning systems should not only serve luxury and be controlled remotely, but also have a more pragmatic application:
-
Energy efficiency with smart air conditioning
Every home benefits from cost optimization. On the other hand, air conditioning and the air conditioning system are among the biggest consumers of electrical energy in the home. This requires optimization of power consumption for them. Smart air conditioning helps precisely in this direction, monitoring the temperature not only in the rooms, but also the outside temperature. Thus, according to the set temperature, it adjusts the temperature in the rooms even faster and optimizes costs.
-
Automatically adjust air conditioning according to preferences
Another important element of user comfort is their specific preferences. That’s why our team created the VAiOS AiL (Artificial intelligence Learn) innovation as part of the VAiOS Smart system. This is machine learning software.
The system collects information about people’s needs and wants, household actions and user preferences. Then it automatically enters the machine self-learning phase. After the necessary period of collecting the information, the VAiOS AiL system begins to monitor and automatically adjust the temperature in the rooms according to the preferences of the people in them. At the same time, to add more comfort and be energy efficient, it monitors the temperature and weather outside.
-
You control different temperature in the rooms
Installing smart air conditioning makes it possible not only to manage the temperature in your home through your smartphone, but also to choose different temperatures in individual rooms. With the help of the system, you will be able to choose a more comfortable temperature for the living room, for example. Also for the rooms where you spend more time. You do not need to adjust the temperature in the other rooms significantly or set it close to the outside temperature. This adds further optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency.
-
Air conditioning controls with voice commands
Would smart air conditioning be an intelligent system if it didn’t have one of the most popular options – control with voice commands. Through smart home or office air conditioning, you have the opportunity to choose the temperature in the rooms. Both through digital commands selected through the app on your smartphone and through voice commands.
-
Script programming
With VAiOS Smart you get intelligent air conditioning that takes care of your coziness and comfort. With just one command, you set the smart air conditioning system to a different mode. For example, whether with a digital or voice command from the app, you can change and adjust the temperature for the whole home as well as in individual rooms.
With the example command “We will have dinner”, the system automatically adjusts the temperature in the dining room according to the family’s preferences. At the same time, the temperatures in the other rooms remain unchanged in order to maintain energy efficiency. Similarly, the “Go to bed” command automatically programs the system to adjust the bedroom temperature to your desired temperature.
In combination with other smart home systems, the same command changes lighting in the bedroom, lower the curtains and according to preferences can play soothing sounds or melody for better sleep. Last but not least, the command “Go to bed” given by different family members programs the temperature in the bedroom of the one from whom the command is given, while continuing to maintain the level of energy efficiency in the rest of the rooms.
Each smart air conditioner works both independently and as part of a smart home. Again, using voice control, you can adjust the temperature in individual rooms, and thanks to the system scenarios, you can program with one command. As part of VAiOS smart systems, smart air conditioning is secured with SSL communication used in the security of banking software. On the other hand, the structuring of VAiOS smart systems on a modular principle ensures that you will not pay more for electricity than you used.
