This gadget turns your regular AC unit into a smart device
TL;DR: Smarten up your AC unit with the Cielo Breez Eco, on sale for $62.99 — a 36% savings — as of June 19.
If you’re a city inhabitant or just live in an older building, you’re probably no stranger to window AC units. Although at times they can feel totally retro, there are ways to upgrade them and have them work better for you.
With the Cielo Breez Eco, you can control your AC unit directly by using your smartphone. All you need is a ductless air conditioning system, such as a mini-split, portable, or the aforementioned window unit with an IR remote control. You can even use it on a heat pump system in your home. It gives you total control, no matter where you are, by turning your home system into a smart device. That means you can schedule when you’d like it to turn on, check the filter status, understand your usage habits, and more directly from your phone. No more arriving home to a stifling hot apartment after a long day at work; with Cielo, you can turn on your system before you arrive, so everything is cool the moment you walk in the door.
Understanding your usage habits and knowing when your AC needs a filter change can save you money on your home’s electricity costs. The device even works with voice commands and in tandem with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Siri Shortcuts, and Samsung SmartThings to really bring you into this century.
Normally, this smart AC controller retails for $99, but, for a limited time, you can take advantage of extra savings and take 36% off. Not to brag, but that’s lower than you’ll find it on Amazon. Take it home for just $62.99.
