Sensibo Air - Smart Air Conditioner Controller. Apple HomeKit Certified. 60-Seconds Installation. Maintains Comfort and Energy Saving Features. Compatible with Google, Alexa, Apple HomeKit & Siri

It works SIGNIFICANTLY better than the WiFi interface (Airzone) that came with my Daikin dual zone mini split. Setup was very easy, it immediately recognized my remote, and had more controls than the Airzone system. Setting up schedules was easy, and It works great with Home Assistant ! I already had a Sensibo Sky that I used on a different system, I reconnected it to my new systems second Mini split with no problem. The price point was about half what the Airzone for the Daikin cost.

The unit I ordered from Amazon never got to me, due to a bizarre Amazon fulfillment error, so I reordered directly from the manufacturer. I am impressed by the Sensibo Air. Setup was smooth, and was completely guided by the app. I was able to configure the device to work on my customized network, which walls off Internet of Things (IOT) traffic. The Sensibo app recognized my air conditioner's somewhat elaborate remote control from a single press of the remote's on/off button, and the app can do everything that the remote can do. The Apple HomeKit integration does what I need it to do, allowing me to turn the air conditioner on and off, set the temperature, and select fan-only mode, whether I'm at home or away. Notes: • The Sensibo app will not operate without continuous Internet access. After initial setup, it should be possible to use basic features of a home control app without external Internet access. Controlling the Sensibo Air through Apple HomeKit is a work-around. • I haven't checked whether the Sensibo Air complains if its external Internet access is revoked. Hopefully the device doesn't "phone home" unnecessarily. (I prefer to let Apple HomeKit broker commands when I am away from home, because HomeKit's security policy is well established.) I will update my review when I've tried tightening the firewall rules for my Sensibo Air. • The privacy implications of Sensibo's built-in geofencing feature (which can turn the air conditioner on when you arrive at home, and off when you leave) are unclear. The Sensibo app needs access to Location Services during the initial setup of the Sensibo Air, but works fine without location access after that (provided that the built-in geofencing feature is turned off). I will update my review when I've tried to create arrive/leave automations for the Sensibo Air at the Apple HomeKit level. (Here again, I prefer to let Apple HomeKit handle my location data, because HomeKit's privacy policy is well established.) • There's a silly user interface mistake in the Sensibo app. During setup, when you link the Sensibo Air to HomeKit, the Sensibo app displays a HomeKit QR code, as well as a manual setup code. Unless you have another iPhone or iPad, you can't scan the QR code. The manual setup code cannot be selected and copied, so you'd have to write it down on a piece of paper, switch from the Sensibo app to the HomeKit app, and manually type the code. In closing, the security and privacy concerns I've raised are common to most home control devices, and they shouldn't deter you. Setup was easy, the Apple HomeKit integration works, and the Sensibo Air is a major convenience. I'm looking forward to using it this summer!

Last summer I finally got tired of being too hot in my studio and had a Carrier 40MAQ mini split installed and love it! However this particular model does not have wifi control so I was at a disadvantage if I wanted to get the studio cooled down or heated up before I went in there. I checked out quite a few products and though they were cheaper cost wise and worked well, unfortunately they did not fully support both HomeKit and Alexa. Then I found an article talking about the Sensibo Air and thought I'd give it a try. It took me about 15 minutes to get it fully integrated with my Alexa and HomeKit setup and it's worked perfectly from the first command. I simply hung it from one of my studio monitors from across the room and it works every time. I do wish it came with a table stand like the Cielo Breez Eco Smart, hence my lack of one star. Another review mentioned that this device has only basic HomeKit & Siri functionality, but for me I don’t see that as a problem since I can just use the Sensibo app for the occasional fine tuning when needed. I should also mentioned that the Sensibo app is quite full featured and fully mimics my Carrier remote functions and is super easy to use. Overall I am very happy and impressed with this product, though if you don't need HomeKit connectivity then just go with one of the other lower priced products like the Sensibo Sky or Cielo Breez and you'll probably be just fine. For me the extra $$ for the Sensibo Air were, and are, well worth it. Definitely recommended!

Awesome little device. I thought it was going to be bigger for some reason but I love the nice mini size of it. Plugged it in and had it up and running in less than 5 minutes. Just had a brand new Mitsubishi Minisplit installed and was sad that it wasn't "smart" so I'm glad I found Sensibo and it worked like it was made for it. Love the ability to control it from anywhere, and it has all the features my remote at home has so changing temp, fan speed, etc, is beyond simple. I love that I can schedule it or have it turn on or off based on temperature. Very easy to use and paired right up. I have a 2nd head that I'm considering getting a 2nd one.

The app was buggy and had issues recognising the air conditioner. It refuses to read/learn the signals from the remote controller. After setting up, most of the useful features are only available with monthly subscription even though you bought this expensive device. Without the subscription, you can only do basic stuffs like switching on/off, changing temperature/fan speed, etc. It works sporadically.

El producto ha llegado a tiempo, bien embalado y estado perfecto. No hay muchas instrucciones, en teoria debería ser simple ponerlo en marcha. Yo he tenido problemas en sincronizar con la wi-fi, finalmente lo he tenido que hacer manualmente. En la sección de ayuda de la aplicación explican como hacerlo. El sistema funciona bien, permite el control a distancia desde el movil y sobretodo permite programar periodos de marcha y paro. No cubre todas las funciones del aire acondicionado, pero si las principales (Tengo un split LG antiguo). En Resumen: muy util.

Très bon produit. Installation très facile : connexion immédiate avec la Clim existante. Depuis quelques mois que c'est installé, fonctionnement sans souci. S'il fallait faire une critique, je ne suis pas toujours pleinement certain de l'information de la température. Mais rien de grave.

Comodissimo con Siri funziona alla grande , ottima app bel design . Alla fine puoi gestire il clima Non essendo a casa e si risparmia in bolletta trovando la casa fresca

Works as described but like most "IoT" devices, it only supports 2.4GHz WiFi. This is generally not a problem for the mass population, however, a lot of us techy/IT folks have ditched 2.4GHz WiFi a long time ago. I figured this going in and already have my IoT devices on a separate AP, but it's just something to know that you will require a 2.4GHz WiFi network to connect this device. I have an Apple iPhone 13 Pro and the Sensibo app works great. Pairing was an easy process. The initial firmware update failed and I had to reset the controller once, but after that it worked fine. Slight hiccup but totally recoverable. After that I was able to point my AC Remote at the controller and it worked first try. It actually adds extra features that my Direct Air heatpump/AC unit doesn't have. Like turning off at a certain temp, or, switching to a different mode entirely based on temp, or scheduling. While it could be a bit cheaper for what it does, they really should remove the subscription model. The feature it adds are not really worth it, oh, and you do not need a temp sensor. There seems to be one already built into the controller and it works fine when placed in the same room as the AC unit. In my testing the temp sensor is reading 1 degree too cold, but I adjusted my scheduling for that in mind and it keeps this place a nice 20-21C cool, and under 20C I have it switching to Fan Only mode, then when it hits 22C it will go back into cooling mode. Excellent product, wish there was more competition in this space.
