Ambi Climate Makes Your Air Conditioner Smart

Many people all over the world struggle with keeping their homes or workplaces at an optimal temperature, not to cold and not to hot is the goal. This typically requires multiple walks to change the AC unit temperature and essentially constantly having to micro-manage the thermostat. Ambi Labs is looking to solve this issue with their new smart sensors.

This small hub/sensor utilizes local weather data, temperature, air flow, humidity and even movement detection to adjust the air conditioner quickly and accordingly with its infrared transmitter. Allowing the room to keep a more constant temperature, less thermostat micromanaging and also helps to save energy.
As shown to the left the Ambi Climate also comes with a companion app which will sync with iOS or Android devices allowing people to control room temperature and humidity from anywhere even if you are not at home. In addition the hub will use your current location and movement to automatically detect if you're home or not and even what room you are in to turn on and off air conditioners without you having to think about it. Of course you can set your own personal preferences to the ambi climate, such as preferred temperature, humidity and off/on times. If you have multiple ambi climate units you may also monitor and apply conditions throughout all the units at once.

     As it is on kickstarter with already over 250 backers pledging the early bird November units are already sold out. So the next shipment will take place in June 2015, just in time for summer. For more information you can visit their Kickstarter Page.
