SmartHVAC provides an end-to-end IoT platform that helps air-conditioning and heat-pump manufacturers offer connected products without developing their own technology from scratch. Its solution combines secure connectivity, cloud-based device management and front- and back-end applications, supported by AWS IoT Cloud. The company offers a retrofit Wi-Fi controller, described as a dongle, designed to turn compatible air conditioners and heat pumps into smart devices. Tailored for original equipment manufacturers, the platform is intended to support a faster route to market and help brands compete in smart heating and cooling.

Through smartphone control, users can manage their systems from anywhere, set weekly schedules and use geofencing to automate operation around their location. Additional features include air-filter status monitoring, zone control, heating and cooling usage statistics, and a timeline of device activity. SmartHVAC says its controller can help users reduce energy use and claims potential electricity-bill savings of up to 25%. The ecosystem also includes Android and iOS apps from Cielo, providing tools for controlling and monitoring connected equipment.
