Sensibo Sky, Smart Wireless Air Conditioner Controller. Quick & Easy DIY Installation. Maintains Comfort with Energy Efficient. Automatic Wifi Thermostat Control App. Google, Alexa and Siri Compatible

I recently had an air con system installed and was a bit disappointed to find that getting the WiFi enabled model was about £250 more expensive per unit (which quickly adds up when you have more than one). I was researching ideas on how to handle this and came across Sensibo. The ad promised everything and I have to be honest I was a little skeptical on it's promise of compatibility but wow I'm truly impressed by this. It's a neat little unit on a USB charger that in essence acts as a remote control replicator with your device so it's truly plug and play and it took a little over 7 minutes to get it fully operational. I'm super impressed by how easy it is to use and the extended schedules and controls you get via the app. The alexa setup was a little bit trickier because I had to uninstall and reinstall the app but it's a super impressive contraption here and would highly recommend for anyone who wants to take control of their system!

The Sensibo Sky has made our Toshiba AC system totally controllable and the Smart features work perfectly, whereas previously it was only controllable by hand held remote within the room.

The concept is sound - maybe it works best through Google & Microsoft set up is easy .The problem is that climate react which given rules is supposed to work when the ac is scheduled to run I have it set to heat at 0600-1100/1600-000 when temperature is below 17˚ & to tun off above 18˚ not complicated.But with the mild weather & in the lock down I have seen that one or both units decide to power up & yet the ambient heat is above 18˚.Support keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the units I would have to differ I have had two live chat sessions that changed nothing (I did have an incorrect setting that was sorted but the problem persists ).

What a great device for automating your IR AC or Fans, I have these working to control my Delonghi AC, Dyson Pure Cool and regular Dyson Fan, the Dyson Pure Cool did not work when purchasing the Sensibo as this does not use the same remote as the regular Dyson fans, but after contacting their support, they managed to do a recording session with myself and programmed the remote control, I can now confirm this is fully working with the Dyson Pure cool, the support team answer all queries very quickly, they are even updating the regular Dyson fan control so when adjusting the temp this will control the fan speed instead, this will make it much easier to control via Alexa.The device itself is very easy to set up, just plug it in, open the Sensible app, scan the barcode, then point your remote at the Sensibo so it can discover your AC model.Great product with great helpful support.

Got this today, was sceptical given some reviews… but it does exactly what you need it to. Cheaper than other devices I saw online and the functionality is fine: timer, scheduling, lower/upper temp limits to trigger on/off, connects to my Google home and was very simple to set up!

The Sensibo is essentially an WiFi Remote Control for your Air Con Unit. If you're expecting it to act like a thermostat, then it's not what you're after.Setup of the Sensibo is fairly straight forward. Install the app, scan the QR code and away you go, although I had a few issues and needed to make a few attempts before I got it setup.I've got it integrated with Google Home which works pretty well. Google Home see's it as a thermostat, so if you also have a Nest Thermostat and tell Google you're hot or cold, your AC will also turn on to whatever temperature Google Home has chosen for you.Whilst it works pretty well for the most part, it has a critical flaw that other reviews and posts have noticed. Sending the commands are temperamental.I've got my Sensibo mounted at horizontal alignment with the Air Con, about 5 meters away. 90% of the time, when I issue a command, it lights up and the Air Con does what it needs to. The other 10% of the time though, Sensibo lights up and nothing happens.At first I thought it was a signal strength issue, so I temporarily moved it closer and in front of the IR port on the Air Con, but I still ran into the same issue. Looking around, it seems others experience this issue too, so I dont think its anything to do with my placement of the device. Its stuck in a fixed position which works 90% of the time..The only other thing to mark it down on is the app. Whilst it works, its not particular intuitive, and its quite ugly with a lot of wasted space! As I believe the unit also lacks a thermometer, don't expect any thermostat like controls or readings as to what the room air temperature actually is.It's a little underwhelming as a product to be honest, especially for the price. I'm pretty sure you can accomplish the same thing with Logitech Harmony devices. From what I can tell, all this device does is mimics your battery powered remote control.UPDATE: Sensibo reached out to me after posting this review, and have shown me how to change the remote type my device is using. Since doing this, my limited tests seemed to have resolved the issues with sending commands.

Really great tells you when you need to turn your a/c off

Why did you choose this product over others?:Works for a while but then you have to spend 2 days or more waiting for their customer service team to troubleshoot and reset something at their end. This happens every 3 or 4 months.I've had 2 of these remotes for over a year. They are OK when they work but really fed up with having to seek support so often.
