Controlling your air conditioner with your phone is a no-brainer in today’s era of smart technology. You can control anything with just a single tap on your mobile screen! You can either opt for a smart air conditioner that comes with built-in smart functionality, but they are quite costly and come with limited features on the downside. Or, you can make it smart with a smart mini-split thermostat!
Paired with Cielo Breez mini-split thermostats, the free Cielo Home app makes any room AC smart, allowing you to control your air conditioner using your iOS or Android phone! Now, with a few taps on the screen, you can achieve the temperature of your choice, set up schedules, maintain specific temperature ranges, and keep a close eye on your AC’s usage. In essence, you can control your air conditioner using your phone from anywhere and at any time to achieve the next level in smart air conditioning.
Although controlling your air conditioner might seem impressive, at Cielo, it is just the initial step in giving you complete control and smartness.

Moreover, if you have any installed in your office, rental, or vacation home, they can be controlled from the same app! Devices can be named bedroom, kitchen, lounge, kid’s room, and so on as per your preference.

Control Screen for Your Favorite Options
The main control screen for the Cielo Home app gives you complete command over every function of your AC from your phone. After clicking on the specific AC that you want to control, you can control the major functions from the control screen without navigating around the whole app. Functions such as swing, fan speed, temperature control, operating modes, main power on/off, and some miscellaneous features (depending on the AC model), such as the light on your AC unit, can all be controlled from one screen!
Monitor Your AC Temperature from Your Phone
Smartphone air conditioning not only lets you change your air conditioner settings from your phone, but you can also keep an eye on the current room temperature and humidity levels! This is great if you’re not at home but would still like to monitor the temperature. You can turn your AC on beforehand if need be, based on these readings, and arrive home to the perfect room conditions. This feature is also useful if you have a beloved pet at home and you wish to maintain the perfect temperature for your furry friends or if you have elderly people at home and want the ideal room temperature.
Prevent Overheating & Overcooling With Comfy Max
Comfy Max uses AI-based algorithms to maintain your perfect climate. You only need to set your preferred heating and cooling temperatures, and it will automatically adjust to maintain comfort, preventing the room from getting too hot or too cold.
Suppose your preferred setpoints are 70F (for heating) and 75F (for cooling). If the room temperature drops below your heating setpoint, i.e., 70F, it activates heating, or if it rises above your 75F cooling setpoint, it initiates cooling.
Comfy Mode for Ultimate Comfort
The Comfy Mode enables you to automate your room environment based on the temperature or humidity by setting intelligent triggers. The built-in sensors constantly monitor these preset triggers and activate them once the required level has been reached.
For example, you can tune your Comfy Mode so that when the temperature reaches below 72F, the AC turns off, and if it goes above 77F, it turns on in cooling mode. Additional settings, such as the fan speed, AC modes, swing settings, and much more, can also be specified. The same can be adjusted for your ideal humidity levels.
Some real-world applications of Comfy Mode are where you can set your preferred triggers for bedtime. Comfy automatically adjusts your room temperature or humidity while you are asleep, keeping your environment comfortable. Moreover, with Comfy’s intelligent triggers, you can preset an ideal environment for your pets and let the triggers maintain their perfect environment even when you are not home. Comfy Mode limits inefficient and overuse of air conditioning by making automatic adjustments, keeping your home comfortable, and saving energy at the same time.
This feature is available under the “eSaver” tab on the navigation bar in your Cielo Home app.
Prevent Mode Conflict With Multi-Zone Mini-Split Control
Multi-zone mini-split systems can face mode conflicts because all connected units share the same refrigerant flow, preventing simultaneous heating and cooling. The mode conflict occurs when one unit is set to heating while others are in cooling mode, or vice versa. This causes the affected unit to shut down entirely, disrupting comfort and reducing the system’s overall efficiency and performance.
With the Multi-Zone Control feature, you can eliminate these issues and ensure seamless operation. The feature ensures the multi-zone system stays in sync, automatically switching all units to the latest chosen mode. Alternatively, you can choose to turn off other units when a mode change occurs, maintaining comfort and efficiency without interruptions.
Maximize Efficiency With Weekly Scheduling
Weekly schedules can be set if you are controlling your AC with your smartphone. In other words, you can select multiple timers for your AC. These schedules can be tuned to perform preset actions throughout the week automatically. For instance, you could set your AC to operate in cool mode from midday until evening and then go into fan mode for the night. Specific hours can be set for each mode of operation.
You can fine-tune the temperature, operating mode, fan speeds, swing positions, and much more. An example of weekly scheduling is setting up your AC to operate in heat mode from 7 AM to 8 AM. This way, when you wake up on a chilly morning at 7:15 AM, the room is already sufficiently heated up!

Location-Based Controls With Geofencing
Leaving the home in a hurry? Did you forget to turn off the AC? No need to worry. The geofencing mode works to automatically turn your AC on or off (as per your preferences) when you are a certain distance from your home. This distance can be changed as per your convenience, from as little as 1 mile to 10 miles. This makes your life a whole lot easier!

Turbo Mode for Instant Comfort
Turbo mode instantly brings your room to the desired temperature with a single push of a button. The Cielo Home app conveniently allows you to operate your air conditioner’s turbo mode from your phone.
In this mode, the AC works overtime, working at full fan speed at the lowest or highest temperature. This feature is compatible only with air conditioner models that offer turbo mode as a built-in feature. Check out your air conditioner’s user manual; if your AC offers turbo mode, the Cielo Home app will have a turbo icon on the control screen.
Ensure Home Safety With Freeze Protection
Freeze Protection mode is used to prevent freezing temperatures in extremely cold conditions. FP is used in heat mode, making your heat pump run on minimum power to maintain the indoor temperature at a suitable value, such as 46F, to prevent freezing. This is extremely useful for rooms or vacation homes that are not in use during winter and are susceptible to damages like freezing and/or bursting of water pipes. As with the turbo mode, if your air conditioner supports freeze protection, you can benefit from it through your phone!
Keep a Check on the Air Filter Status
It’s important to keep your AC in top condition. When controlling your AC using your phone, the Cielo Home app tracks your AC air filter usage and reminds you when the filter needs cleaning. The air filter’s status is critical to maintain healthy indoor air quality. A dirty air filter can reduce your air conditioner’s efficiency and require it to consume more power.
Track Your Action Timeline
It is so convenient to keep track of your usage habits using smartphone air conditioning, thanks to features such as action timelines! With an air conditioner app for your phone, you can keep track of all actions performed on your AC. A detailed history will be provided on whichever platform you use to perform the command. Actions can be performed through the app, remote control, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri Shortcuts, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT, or schedules. You have total control and complete knowledge of your actions within a single platform.
Conserve Energy With Usage History
This tab allows you to perform a usage audit of your connected ACs/Heat Pumps. By getting a bird’s-eye view of your usage, you can be aware of energy usage patterns throughout the season and fine-tune your activities to keep the bills on the lower side. The app also provides daily, weekly, and monthly usage history that can be viewed.
Seamless Control Through Smart Home Integration
In this day and age, where convenience is a must, Cielo smart mini-split thermostats, along with the ‘Cielo Home’ app, let you control your air conditioner or heat pump with simple voice commands. You can connect your AC with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Siri Shortcuts, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. You can also set up routines with Alexa and Google Home and use your AC as part of a complete smart home package.
Temperature Range Lock for Home and Vacation Rentals
The Cielo Home app provides the perfect solution for tenants, parents, pet owners, and vacation rentals. The app provides the flexibility to restrict you within a certain temperature range.
For instance, as a rental homeowner, you might not want the AC running at 62F all day and night during winter. So, using your phone, you can restrict the temperature of your air conditioner to operate only between 68 and 76 degrees. This way, you will not be able to operate at any other temperature outside of this range. Control AC with phone, smartly!
Stay Informed With Notifications
The Cielo Home app’s real-time alerts ensure that you never miss any crucial updates. These convenient notifications and popups keep you up to date with your AC’s daily operations. Get alerts when your air conditioner is turned on or off, when intelligent triggers are activated, if the temperature changes, or when it’s time to replace your air filter—plus much more.
Enjoy Convenience and Savings With Zone Control
Family members always have different heating or cooling preferences in a home. Similarly, different rooms in a building have different temperature requirements. You might want it cooler; your parents would want it toasty. Your basement is always colder than you like, while the loft is just perfect. These are examples of heating and cooling challenges that a standard HVAC can’t always handle, thus bringing the need for HVAC zoning.
