Smart air conditioning will help to save money

A collaboration between General Electric and Quirky, a company specializing in innovation, has led to a smart air conditioner called Aros. Air conditioning can be controlled using a mobile application.



Aros uses the WINK application to collect information based on user habits, electricity costs, and budget and automatically maintain the optimum temperature. Over time, Aros fully adapts to the owner’s conditions, ensuring that it never encounters a room that is too cold or too warm in the future.

“After receiving an invitation to participate in this development, it became clear that such a product simply had to exist.” With the support of GE’s technology experts, their scale and supply chain, we were able to focus our efforts on realizing our idea in a finished, beautifully designed product that embodied every aspect of our interaction, said Ben Kaufman, founder and CEO of Quirky.

Smart air conditioner analyzes the settings of work and automatically builds a personal schedule for the owner. When no one is home, it reduces energy consumption, but when owners return, the temperature in the room will be optimal. The air conditioner will allow you to forecast the budget using the planned schedule, weather forecast data and information about past use. If you enter plans for the month, the air conditioner will tell you when the balance is out of budget. Its capacity is 8,000 BTU. Three cooling modes and three fan speed settings. The cost of air conditioning is $300.
