Sensibo Sky Smart Home Air Conditioner System, 3 Pack

So I've had this for about 3 years using it with a window air conditioner can't tell you the brand off that my head it works quite well occasionally the IR broadcast doesn't make it to the air conditioner but that's very few and far between and tends to be when adjusting the volume up or down so it might be off by a degree on occasion it's easy to fix just switch it back to Fan adjust up or down so that the app matches the device and then continue using schedules work great climate react Works quite well I have the issue where my window air conditioner will let it get quite hot in my room if it's cooler outside but I'm allergic to cut grass so sometimes I still need the air conditioner on even when it's nice out so the climate react can help prevent it from getting overly hot in the room when it's set to auto on the air conditioner which is a lifesaver sometimes on top of that if you do pay for the subscription there are a lot of very interesting and potentially useful add-ons I personally I don't use it but I have in the past and since I used it and they have added a lot more capability however I'm not sure how many of them would actually function with my air conditioner which is pretty old it's 10 years old or so but basically as long as it has an infrared receiver this device will work with any air conditioner maybe even heating unit. It'll also keep track of how long the device has been on and when the built-in filter to your air conditioner should be checked which is quite nice to just get a notification on the phone because when my air conditioner it's a little orange light that unless you're standing right in front of it you're not going to notice at least I don't. One last thing I don't have a Lexus I can't State how well it works with that however Google Assistant Works quite well the only issue I have is that you can only set it with Google Assistant to heat cool and fan you can't set it to the auto setting and I don't know if that's the restriction from my air conditioner or if it's because of Google but to be honest it's not the end of the world either and if I need to turn it on remotely having it set to cool is fine and then when I get home or when I can pull out my phone or something I can adjust it.

Easy DIY set up. No need for electrician! All you need is your AC remote and your home WiFi. Amazing to have WiFi control on my ductless AC. Works great,

Update: I should have updated this some time ago but been putting it off for too long. I initially the device had some limitations for my preferred use, as can be read in my initial review below. However, I contacted Sensibo customer support and they were able to set up a date and time with me to go over the various missing functions. A few days later, the device worked the way I wanted, with all the functions of my Daikin mini-split the way I wanted them to work. What can I say, the device now works the way I wanted. Given it some thought, and it kind of makes sense they cannot have detailed settings for the hundreds (thousands?) of different AC units in the world, right out of the box, but the fact that they're more than willing to work with you to get the device working the way you want, makes up for it all in my opinion, hence the updated 5 stars from originally 4. I'm about to order a second device for another AC unit, they definitely made me a happy customer! :) === Original review: After the installation of a new "dumb" mini split A/C unit, I wanted something that I could use to make the unit more "smart", and after having compared several devices, I felt Sensibo was the one coming closest to what I wanted. Unfortunately, it is not without some dislikes. Let me start by saying that the install was very simple. You place the device somewhere in range of the infrared eye of the A/C unit, plug the device in, make sure you have the app downloaded, and then follow the setup instructions on your app. In my case it started with simply turning the A/C unit on and off while aimed at the Sensibo device, and the Sensibo registered what remote I had. At this point things started to work, almost flawlessly. I'm saying "almost flawlessly" because it had some hiccups. For some reason, when I started using the Climate React function (which basically uses either the actual temperature, feel temperature, or humidity levels to do something), it turned out it wasn't always working (meaning, the log said the device turned on or off, but it didn't actually do anything, no blue indicator light that it was transmitting, nothing). I contacted support, and while I received an answer that did not actually help me at the time, the device miraculously started working correctly. Another thing that did not work right away was, while the device did register the IR signals for my remote for the most basic functions, it did not actually see the other functions my remote and A/C unit has available. It only showed Cool, Dry, Fan, few fan levels and that was about it. My actual A/C unit, however, is capable of so much more. So I contacted support again (who, by the way, is the main reason they are getting four stars, and not just three), giving them my remote control's product number, and I received a quick reply back, telling me that they updated my Sensibo's settings and that I should log out and back into the app. Sure enough, much more functions became available for me to control. I like that I am able to have my A/C unit turn on and off automatically at a specific feel temperature setting through Climate React, which seems to be about right. My A/C unit is capable of doing this on it's own, but that does mean it has to stay on (it switches between cool and fan in that case), so the Sensibo makes it more efficient by using less electricity. Another thing I like is that it is hooked into the Google Homes, and can simply ask Google what temperature it is inside, ask it to turn the A/C on or off etc. One thing I don't like, and this is pretty major to me, as it makes me turn off Climate React at times and use the original A/C remote control instead, is that Sensibo is not capable of controlling my vertical and horizontal fan slats independently. My A/C unit is capable of 3D airflow (up/down/left/right), and while Sensibo is capable of doing that, it is unable to just do left/right or up/down by itself, while my A/C unit does have that capability. I personally don't like the fan slats going up/down, as it blows cold air straight onto us, so I like them to be in the most upper position (my A/C unit calls that the "comfort setting"), Sensibo isn't able to do this, and keeps setting the slats back to the middle position, meaning it blows air onto us. I also like to have my A/C unit automatically blow the air from left to right with the vertical slats, so the entire room gets cool air, but the Sensibo is again incapable of doing this by itself. Meaning I still end up using the original remote from time to time, making the Sensibo a bit obsolete. While I do recommend this product as it works, if I had a better understanding of it all in advance, I would probably not have purchased the Sensibo due to the limitations. The reason I am keeping it and wont be returning is simply because I hope they will update the software at some point, adding the missing features, or perhaps make it self-learning so we can add the missing features ourselves.

We live in Hawaii and have a humid wet season. I have asthma so we run the Dehumidify mode on our Daikin mini splits for a few hours each day to control mold, which is my main trigger. It works great but when we go away we hate having to ask friends to come over every day to turn out ACs on. We’ve tried to make this happen with the scheduling feature on the Daikin remotes but it fails often so it’s unreliable. A neighbor told us about the Sensibo Sky so we purchased them for our 3 units. We’ve been testing them out before we go away and so far it works great! We’ve turned them on and off from several miles away from home and tested the timer and mode functions, which so far work well. I guess the big test will be when we’re on the mainland but I think it will be fine. A few things to note - none of which are deal breakers for us: 1. you will need a separate unit for each separate mini-split/remote so we had to purchase three units. They were so affordable however that the three cost less than one if we got it from Daikin. 2. at first I was having a lot of trouble getting it to connect to the Wi-Fi which is required for it to work. I sent an email to customer support (which you can do through the app) and within 10 minutes they sent me a document with step by step easy to follow directions and it went quite smoothly from there. I am a bit of a techie nerd so I was not intimidated by the install at all. My husband, who can barely work his cellphone, would’ve given up on a minute. So if you have someone around who is a tiny bit tech savvy that would be good. Like your teenagers perhaps :-) 3. When I’m AC mode the temperature settings seem to be a bit off from the remote. But that is easy to calibrate. For example in the bedroom I need to set it 72 when I would normally set it to 74. No biggie. 4. Some of the more advanced features require a subscription. The free account would’ve done just fine but because of our climate the people who installed our mini splits recommended that we always run them just on “fan” mode for 5 min before shutting off in order to dry up any condensation. This is so hard to remember and it must be done manually. One of the SensiboPlus features is Mold Control which does this automatically any time you shut it off using the app (or when it shuts off with the timer). This is great for us. We got a free trial and it will be $2.49 a month after that. I wish it was free but it costs a lot more to have the AC company come out to clean your units so we are happy to pay it. For us we got it through the Apple App Store so the charge will be auto deducted unless I cancel so easy peasy. Anyway so far we are very pleased with this purchase!

I've had this product for months and it has been working like a charm. There was a small glitch during product setup that initially made me question the quality and wonder if I'd made a mistake, but since then it has worked flawlessly. Every once in a while a remote command I send doesn't reach the unit, but it fails safely in the sense that the app will show whether the command was executed or not. In other words, I've never had a situation where I sent a remote command, and the app told me it had worked, but it didn't actually turn the unit on or off. And usually, if I try the command again after just a few seconds, it works. In any case, it is very infrequent. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. I also appreciate the aspects of the app that are free. For example, you can setup a schedule to turn the unit on and off, without having to sing-up for the paid subscription portion of the app.

My excitement level was high. However, this faded quickly when the reality of the poor design and even poorer functionality became apparent. Firstly, this unit uses old technology - there are TWO WiFi networks to join the LAN from the device and your home WIFI. Not easy, but eventually doable. Remote (Daikin) identification worked. The Sensibo Sky ran for two days - then failed. Nothing changed with the WiFi (2.4Ghz) signal. Now comes the kicker, support is ONLY by email. While responses are within an acceptable time frame, the information is AI generated. I was never sure I actually communicated with a human. I spent 10 hours+ in 17 emails going back and forth, resetting the unit per instructions. Nothing worked and my frustration with their process was off the charts. This amount of work for a $99 device is UNACCEPTABLE. As another nail in the product coffin - “Climate React” is a great idea but a disaster in practice. This feature, supposedly , allows you to set Humidity, temperature or “feels like temperature” triggers. However, when setting the humidity trigger to 50%, the temperature and “feels like temperature” were also set to “50”. I don’t know about you, but a 50 degree Fahrenheit room is too cold for me. The Climate React feature is a great idea that FAILS. miserably in practice. I returned the Sensibo Sky as it DID NOT WORK. I purchased a competitive brand - Cielo Max for essentially the same price. It works perfectly.

I recently purchased the Sensibo Sky Smart Wireless Air Conditioner Controller, and I’m beyond impressed with how well it works! This device has completely transformed the way I use my AC, making it more energy-efficient and convenient to control, even when I’m not home. Setup and Installation The installation process was incredibly easy and straightforward. I’m not particularly handy, but the quick DIY setup took only a few minutes. The app walks you through everything step by step, and once it was connected to my Wi-Fi, it immediately recognized my air conditioner. No complicated wiring or professional installation required—just plug it in, pair it with the AC, and you’re good to go! Smart Features The Sensibo Sky really shines when it comes to smart features. I can control my air conditioner from anywhere using the mobile app, which is super convenient when I want to turn it on before coming home or adjust the temperature while I’m in another room. The geofencing feature is a game-changer—when I leave home, it automatically turns the AC off to save energy, and it turns it back on as I get closer to home. This has already made a noticeable difference in my electricity bill. The scheduling feature is also fantastic. I’ve set it to cool the room before I wake up and before I return from work, so the temperature is always perfect without me having to think about it. You can even customize temperature and humidity settings to maintain your ideal comfort level. Performance In terms of performance, the Sensibo Sky delivers exactly what it promises. The remote control functionality is fast and responsive, and it gives you full control over all the settings of your AC, just like the original remote. I’ve been using it for weeks now, and it hasn’t missed a beat—no dropped connections or lag when making adjustments. The device also provides insights into air quality and energy usage, which is helpful for optimizing settings and staying efficient. Design and Compatibility The design of the Sensibo Sky is sleek and compact, so it doesn’t take up much space. It blends in nicely with my home setup and can be mounted easily if needed. It’s compatible with a wide range of air conditioners and works seamlessly with my existing smart home devices like Alexa and Google Assistant. Voice control is a bonus, and it’s nice to just tell Alexa to adjust the temperature without having to pick up my phone. Overall Experience Overall, I highly recommend the Sensibo Sky to anyone looking to upgrade their air conditioning system with smart technology. It’s affordable, easy to install, and packed with useful features that make managing your home’s climate a breeze. Whether you want to save energy, make your AC smarter, or just control it more conveniently, this is the perfect device. I can’t imagine going back to using my AC without it!

So I purchased the Sensibo as it showed it worked for my Fridgidair Window AC, set up was easy and I got up and going within 10 minutes. Sensibo was controlling my AC and I thought this was the greatest thing until I started to notice my AC wasn't turning off and the temperatures from what the AC was set at and the Sensibo was set at were off. Turns out what happens is my window AC turns off the display after 30 seconds, but to wake it back up you have to send 1 command to wake the AC up then send another command to start controlling it, Sensibo was only sending 1 command so it was just waking the AC up and not actually doing anything. For example if I told Sensibo to turn off my AC, the Sensibo would give the AC a power command, but the one command would only wake the AC up and not turn it off, So in the Sensibo app it thought the AC was off but in reality the AC was still on cooling, or when I told Sensibo to drop the temp down 2 degrees in reality the AC would only drop down 1 degree because the first command was used to wake the AC up. I contacted support and they got back with me asking questions and after some emails they pushed an update to the app to try and fix it however it still didnt work. After a few days of back and forth emails I just got tired of messing with it and it ended up being way to much of a hassle to deal with instead of just grabbing the remote and turning on the AC. I do have to give it up to CS as they were trying to get it work and I dont blame Sensibo 100% for the issue, however when you go to Sensibo's website and your put your AC model number in and it says it works I expected it to work.

I can’t fault it. Easy to set up and use. Of course there are some in App purchases but they are not necessary to enjoy effortless control of your A/C. Just a note to advise that the unit only works on units which have an infrared remote control.

The first impressions were good. The product is small, discreet, and nice-looking. Setting it up was extremely easy — I just followed the instructions. Simple, with no obstacles at all. And before continuing, I want to say that I have rarely seen customer service as good and precise as Sensibo’s. During the first use, I noticed that Sensibo would turn on the light display of my AC and change the temperature from °C to °F. The light display on my unit (a Windair heat pump) is very bright and makes the area where it’s installed quite illuminated, so I usually keep it turned off. I only turn it on occasionally to check the mode and temperature, and then I turn it off again, so this is important to me. The second point is that Sensibo kept switching the display from °C to °F, even after I set the app to Celsius. Every time I used Sensibo (whether the AC was on or off) the temperature unit would change. Any interaction between Sensibo and the AC would cause this switch. When I opened the customer support chat on Sensibo’s website, I explained both problems and sent a photo of my AC’s label, then waited in the queue for assistance. I eventually had to leave and closed the chat window, thinking, “I’ll deal with this another day.” To my surprise, later that same day I received an email saying the issue with the temperature unit had been fixed. And it actually worked! A few days later (after I had forgotten it) I received another email saying that the display issue had also been fixed. When I went to test it, I noticed that the app had been updated. There was now an option to turn the display light on and off. Both problems were solved, and I didn’t even have to speak with anyone directly. Normally, I use live chat because talking to a person is faster, but in this case, I closed the chat thinking nothing would happen (as it usually does with other companies). But the Sensibo support team actually read my message after I had left, understood the problem, and fixed it. Which company does that? Very few, very few. Bravo, Sensibo! That’s why I strongly recommend Sensibo. I’m a happy customer and have already started recommending the company to my friends and anyone who asks. If I could, I’d give them 6 stars.

My heat pump has an internet app, but it is unusable, unreliable and kills the battery life on my phone. The Sensibo Air solved all these problems immediately. Setup was easy enough, (though I did have to reset the air and start again) but the app talks you though step by step and it learned my remote first time. Once working it is a dream. I can control the A/C with the app, but better, I have fine control with Google Home and OpenHab. Because Sensibo is dedicated to A/C control everything works really really well. It is instantly responsive to app and voice command. I am super happy. The price seems quite high for the unit, but the idea and execution is worth it to me.

instalation wasnt as easy but contacted costumer support and they fixed the issue in minutes they were great. product integration with alexa is great and their app is great. tood bad they charge you for extra fitures in their app.

Ho acquistato questo dispositivo dopo aver provato il modello Ambi climate 2 che purtroppo ha smesso di funzionare dopo poche settimane. Anche questo prodotto, pur costando meno, ha un prezzo importante CONFEZIONE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Il packaging è ben curato anche se essenziale (da subito risaltano le dimensioni ridotte del device) All'interno della confezione trovate - cavetto di ricarica microusb con alimentatore ( vi sono due alimentatore sia per presa italiana che per presa inglese) - device - istruzioni CARATTERISTICHE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Il device è realizzato con buoni materiali. Le dimensioni sono estremamente compatte oltre ad essere estremamente leggero (più piccolo di una carta di credito) La parte superiore è caratterizzata da una superficie semitrasparente che garantisce l'uscita del segnale infrarosso. La copertura del segnale è di 180 gradi rispetto alla superficie di installazione. A differenza del modello Ambi questo dev'essere obbligatoriamente installato a parte in quanto non possiede supporti per poter essere appoggiato su di una superficie piana (tavolo, mobile etc..) Nella parte inferiore si trova: - port micro usb per collegamento elettrico - QR code per installazione Anche questo prodotto ha una codifica colore che si attiva solo n fase di ricerca ed abbinamento. Durante l'operatività non vi sono led di stato accesi PRINCIPALI FUNZIONI ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Il device clona il telecomando del vostro climatizzatore Devo dire che la fase di installazione si è rivelata molto rapida e l'app molto pratica e stabile. Il comando viene trasmesso al clima con una latenza quasi inesistente. Devo ammettere che l'app è un vero punto di forza ed è maggiormente performante rispetto al modello proposto da Ambi. Priva di fronzoli, semplice e molto pratica nell'utilizzo INSTALLAZIONE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ L'installazione è veramente semplice. Anzitutto è necessario collegare il dispositivo all'alimentazione e verificare che il led frontale lampeggi. Vi consiglio di installare il dispositivo prima di installarlo a parete (se utilizzate il biadeviso in dotazione), in quanto il QR code è presente nella parte posteriore e vi evita di cercare i codici seriali. Scaricare la app Sensibo dallo store (Apple o PlayStore) Avviare la app e seguire le istruzioni riportate. In buona sostanza il dispositivo attiva una rete wifi cui vi dovrete collegare con il device che controllerà il dispositivo. Una volta connessi l'app chiederà di selezionare la rete di casa inserendone la password. Il dispositivo sarà collegato. L'installazione comporta la registrazione al cloud Sensibo Il device dev'essere posizionato in modo che lo split sia "visibile" in linea d'aria (copertura 180gradi) ESPERIENZA DI UTILIZZO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Non utilizzo più il telecomando in dotazione in quanto comando tutto dalla app. Trovo comodissimo poter configurare il clima da remoto al fine di trovare un clima fresco al rientro in casa. ho interfacciato il sistema anche con Alexa, ma sinceramente lo utilizzo sempre in modalità app in quanto, a mio parere, è realizzata molto bene. CONCLUSIONI ✓ Materiali di qualità ✓ Design funzionale ✓ App veramente intuitiva e pratica Veramente ottimo dispositivo anche se il prezzo resta importante.
