How Does Smart Climate Control Work?

Smart climate control systems bring the latest technical advancements to your home air conditioner. Using sensors, automated processes and connected features, a smart air conditioning system creates an optimal level of comfort, convenience and efficiency for your household.

In this guide we’ll provide a comprehensive overview of smart air conditioning systems, as well as an introduction to our units equipped with anywAiR technology.

Components of a Smart Climate Control System

A connected climate control system features a number of integrated components, which work in tandem to efficiently manage the temperature and air quality of your indoor environment.

Air Conditioning Unit

At the heart of every home heating and cooling system lies the air conditioner itself. Most systems will include both an indoor and outdoor unit, mounted in a configuration that suits the layout and requirements of your home.

Smart Thermostats

The thermostat acts as the central control unit for the system, allowing you to adjust the temperature setting. In addition to the main control panel, users can set the temperature in various rooms or zones using a smartphone or unit-specific controller.

Smart Sensors

A smart climate control system features a number of different sensors, including:

• Temperature sensors to monitor indoor temperatures

• Humidity sensors to detect the level of ambient moisture

• Occupancy sensors to identify whether a room is vacant or in use

 

Wi-Fi Module

The Wi-Fi module is what sets a smart air conditioner apart from a regular system. By enabling wireless connectivity between the main system and the user’s devices, the system can be monitored and controlled remotely.

Mobile Application

Using a compatible mobile application, such as the myanywAiR Next app, users can access a range of functionalities of their smart climate control system, including temperature settings, timers and schedules, and any other notifications that have been configured.

Air Filtration System

Like most air conditioning systems, a smart air conditioning unit features air filtration to keep pollutants and dust particles out of your home. Additionally, the myanywAiR Next app, along with AI, will remind the user to clean their air conditioner filters at certain intervals based on the user's air conditioner usage.

How Do Smart Climate Control Systems Operate?

Air conditioning systems equipped with smart climate control balance user inputs with information collected from sensors to optimise the indoor temperature, humidity level and air quality of your home.

Smart sensors analyse and monitor room temperatures

The smart sensors in your air conditioning system continuously monitor indoor temperatures, occupancy and humidity levels while the unit is operational. The information relayed by these sensors enables the system to adjust its settings to maintain both comfort and efficiency.

Climate systems automatically adjust temperature controls based on pre-programmed settings

A smart climate system can be programmed with schedules or automated timers in its compatible mobile app. For instance, you can set a desired temperature at a particular time and the system will automatically operate to ensure your home is heated or cooled perfectly when you return.

Users control temperatures via the smart thermostat or application

Using either the control panel or the compatible app, users have full control over their smart air conditioner. Adjustments can be made to the temperature and operation status of the unit from anywhere, ensuring a comfortable yet efficient solution to year-round comfort in your home.

App features

Mobile applications, such as the myanywAiR Next app that can be used to control the Fujitsu General Lifestyle Next range, enable you to control various functions of the unit, set schedules and timers, and monitor the system in real time. Additionally, you can receive notifications when filter maintenance is required, ensuring you never miss a service.

Benefits of Smart Climate Control Systems

Installing an air conditioner with smart climate control capability has a range of long-term benefits for your household, including increased comfort, potential environmental and financial savings, as well as an increase to your home’s value.

Optimised temperatures across rooms

A smart climate control system works in conjunction with zoned air conditioners to provide personalised comfort in each room. Featuring smart sensors, the system detects where heating or cooling is required, operating in each room as required based on occupancy and usage patterns.

Energy savings

Featuring smart energy-saving technology, including scheduling capabilities and intelligent automation, a connected air conditioner can significantly help reduce the energy consumption of your unit, leading to lower electricity bills and a reduced carbon footprint.

Improved air quality

The anywAIR technology Wi-Fi adaptor II makes it easy to control your air conditioner from anywhere. Set schedules, adjust settings remotely and use features like geofencing, timers and Climate React to automate comfort throughout the day. You can also monitor filters, share access with others and upgrade to Next PLUS for smart home integration and added control.

 Increased home value

Potential buyers of your home may be drawn to the fact that your property already has a smart air conditioning system installed, especially if they have had previous experience with this technology. If you intend to sell your home in the near future, investing in comfort measures such as modern air conditioning systems can be a beneficial addition.
