If you are away and you have your kids or your pet (a dog or a fish) left alone at home, you can now be assured that they stay comfortable as you can adjust the temperature in your house to suit the weather and other conditions with LG Electronics USA's latest LG Smart AC Module. The new duct-free air conditioning system can be controlled on a smartphone, and helps consumers to remotely control the internal temperatures, which enables users to save on electricity and maintain the ambience in their homes.
LG's Smart AC Module joins the collection of new and innovative 'connected' home appliances the market is seeing this year as the Internet-of-Things (IoT) takes off in the consumer segments and an increasingly large number of machines and devices, including consumer appliances such as home electrical appliances and passengers cars come with M2M connections. The consumer IoT is also catching up in the wearables segment where smart watches are quickly becoming popular for fitness and health monitoring.
According to LG, users can download the free Smart AC app which is available for compatible Android and iOS smartphones and access their Smart AC Module from anywhere, as long as they have internet connection on both ends. LG in their statement said that the user's wireless device communicates with the module on the indoor unit to control various functions and features, including temperature, fan speed and air flow directly through the smart phone app. Frequently used settings can be saved to a favorites list for easy replication of a preferred temperature scenario. Other features available on the Module is the sleep timer for programmed temperature control throughout the night and a purifying option for circulating filtered air.
“With LG, it's all possible. We're always looking for ways to offer consumers more convenience and flexibility and simplify their everyday tasks. The Smart AC Module gives homeowners a way to customize their home temperature, even if they are away, easily fitting into their busy lifestyles."
