C Sensibo any air conditioning "wiser"

In homes and offices full of old models of air conditioners. They work, often excellent, but that functions in such devices is not too much. Yes, and most of the new models also can not be called "smart". But in our time of rapid development of information technology, IoT (Internet of Things) want to be, if not the whole house, then at least some of the devices could be called "intelligent."

The same air conditioner - you come home or at work, include air conditioning, and wait until the temperature will be comfortable (here it does not matter whether there is a mean heating or cooling). A suitable microclimate in the house or office would like to be always true? And here comes to the aid of a small device, the system, called Sensibo. This system, among other things, helps to help energy - you can set this operation mode in which the device is switched off if the room is no one specific time. By the way, I have developed a device small Israeli startup - and only the Israelis know how to use air conditioning, like no other.

How does it look?


The system has a very small size, it consists of two parts - the hub and a control sensor. The hub is needed, then, that if you have more than one air conditioner, it would be possible to manage all at once rather than one by one.

The control sensor is mounted directly on the air conditioning, with the help of foundations to the sticky side. This "hook and loop" is very strong, so that the sensor does not come off and fall.



Sensor constantly communicates with a hub, which in turn connects to a Wi-Fi network at home or office.







Configuration
Inside - a set of detectors, including the detector temperature, humidity determinant, iBeacon, air flow detector, the detector light, infrared receiver.

As a platform isplzuetsya CC2538, operates on RF 802.15.4 protocol 6LoWPAN. Secondary MCU - Texas Instrument's CC2541 Bluetooth Low Energy with and support iBeacon.

In standalone mode (two batteries type CR123A) Sensibo can work for about three years.

What can Sensibo?


To control the entire system you need to use your mobile device with preinstalled. There are versions of the software for iOS, and for Android, plus there is a program for Pebble. One can see that the system did geeks.

The smartphone can be used as a remote control, and how the monitoring system - the screen shows the parameters of the microclimate in the premises.

In addition, Sensibo can be controlled from anywhere where there is internet, with most functions work automatically. For example, if a home owner is approaching, Sensibo includes air conditioning, and he begins to work on the heating or cooling by setting the necessary parameters of the microclimate in the premises.

The list of possibilities:

• The cooling facilities on schedule (for example, a man comes home from work, 10 minutes before his arrival set a certain temperature in the room);
• Automatic shut-off the air conditioner when leaving the owner (this option can be controlled , itself);
• Optimization of temperature and humidity;
• Control air conditioning anywhere in the world;
• Ability to adapt the mode of the air conditioner in accordance with the regime of the owner ( ie the device "understands", when a man went to work, and when he went to the kitchen to drink tea, for example);
• Using the smartphone features to determine the proximity of the owner of the house in advance to set the desired temperature threshold;
• The definition of the degree of contamination air conditioner filter;
• The definition of weather outside the house to establish the optimum temperature / humidity.
   
  
  For Sensibo you can develop applications and their own - authors of the project opened API.
  
  It is already available?
  Yes, Sensibo already sold - before the device was able to get only customers on Kickstarter, but now the system is accessible to all.
  
  Buy system can have Medgadgets .
  
  As already mentioned, many users are conditioned not only in summer, air conditioners work well and as heaters. Here Sensibo also allow all automation, plus save energy.
