Same air conditioner, just smarter

With its unique pairing device, the Netatmo Smart AC Controller is compatible with all air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps that use an infrared remote control with a screen that displays its settings.

The omnidirectional infrared technology means users can place their Smart AC Controller anywhere in the room and connect it to their device in just a few minutes without the need for any construction work or modifications to existing installations.

Change the temperature at any time, even remotely

With the Smart Controller, it’s possible to create a cooling or heating schedule tailored to the user’s routine in just a few minutes. The user can then adjust the temperature and settings from their smartphone using the Home + Control app. If a family member comes home earlier than expected, the user can turn on the AC or heating remotely before they arrive.

The Smart Controller is also compatible with various voice assistants and smart ecosystems, such as Google Home, Alexa and Apple Home. This means users can also use their voice to control the device and settings for even greater comfort.

To manage energy consumption even more precisely, the Netatmo Smart Controller also has a built-in geolocation function called “Eco-Assist”. This shuts off devices when the users leave the house and switches them back on when they return.
