Picture this: It’s a delightful weekend, and you find yourself immersed in an interesting DIY project in the garage. The only thing that makes the experience bearable in the scorching heat is reveling in the comfort of the air conditioner. The ambiance is perfect – until suddenly, a realization strikes: you forgot to turn off the bedroom air conditioner when you hurriedly left in the morning.
The excitement of your project starts to fade away as you imagine the unnecessary expenses that will pile up on your next utility bill. Not to mention, as per NEADA, cooling bills are estimated to increase by almost 12% this year.
But wait! What if, the moment you switch on your garage air conditioner, the one in your bedroom automatically switches off! Sounds unreal? Keep reading to find Cielo’s magic spell to LINK your air conditioners!
Amid unrelenting heat waves across the US, you might be using multiple equipment (fans, central cooling, room air conditioners) to adequately cool down your home. However, managing multiple units at a time might become overwhelming! Wonder if all your air conditioning units knew what to do based on your preferences or the changes in outdoor weather?
Cielo heard your woes and introduced an innovative solution Cielo Linked!
Cielo Linked: The Knight in Shining Armour
Cielo Linked is a cloud-based platform that revolutionizes smart integrated HVAC controls. It enables you to effortlessly link your central air conditioning system with room air conditioners, such as mini-split, window, and portable units, using Cielo smart climate control products.
With Cielo Linked, you can create an intelligent automated environment control system for your home. You can set up links to automatically switch between your central and room air conditioners based on weather conditions and your personal preferences, all through one single platform.
How Does it Work?
The links can be created by setting activation conditions (triggers) on one device (let’s call it the triggering device), and defining link actions for integrated control. Once the condition is met, the link will be activated, and actions will be performed on linked devices (action device).
Moreover, what makes it special is that Cielo Linked provides unified control for various HVAC systems, regardless of type or brand. This means you can manage a Mitsubishi mini-split alongside a Haier one, or link a Toshiba system with a Daiken central air conditioner using the Cielo Home app.
All you need to do is connect your central air conditioner with the Cielo Smart Thermostat and your room air conditioners with Cielo Breez Max or Cielo Breez Plus and you’re good to go!
Your best choice to make any mini-split, window,
or portable AC smart. Enhance your comfort and savings.
Understanding Triggering and Action Devices
For better understanding, your devices can be broadly classified into two categories: triggering devices and action devices. A triggering device initiates a request to respond to specific events or conditions on another device.
While an action device is responsible for executing a particular action in response to a trigger.
For example, you can set a trigger to turn on Breez Max (action device) on cool mode at 73° F when Cielo Smart Thermostat (triggering device) reaches 75° F. This can do wonders to counter cooling or heating discrepancies in a 2 story house and more.
How does Cielo Linked Enhance Your Smart Home Experience?
Cielo Linked offers a host of benefits that transform your smart home experience into something truly remarkable. You can create links by setting activation conditions, selecting a triggering device, and defining actions for integrated control. Let’s discover how:
Auto Adaptation to Outdoor Weather Conditions
Cielo Linked can automatically adapt to outdoor weather conditions and switch to the most energy efficient settings. If you live in an area where temperature fluctuates throughout the day and you are tired of manually adjusting your thermostat, Cielo Linked is here to help!
For example, during a heat wave when the outdoor temperature crosses 100F, your bedroom air conditioners in the upper story can also turn on to supplement the central air conditioning. This will ensure an optimal indoor climate when outdoor conditions remain harsh and one unit struggles to maintain a comfortable environment in various parts of the house.
You will have to set a trigger based on the outdoor weather on your Cielo Smart Thermostat and define the action for Breez Max connected with your room air conditioner. It’ll look something like: when outdoor temperature crosses 100F, turn on Breez Max on cool mode at 73F.
Similarly, in winters, when temperatures fall below freezing, the combination of central and mini-split heat pumps will help maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home.
Convenience: Simplifying Indoor Climate Control by Linking Multiple Units
With Cielo Linked, you gain centralized control over all your air conditioning systems, eliminating the need to individually adjust each unit. Whether you’re looking to create a comfortable environment while saving energy or maintaining consistent temperatures throughout different areas of your home, Cielo Linked empowers you to do so effortlessly. No more juggling between remotes or adjusting multiple thermostats; a simple command sets the stage for synchronized climate control throughout your home.
If you live in an area with an extreme cold climate then you must know the struggle to keep your home cozy when temperatures drop below freezing. And on top of that, keeping pipes from freezing and protecting household items is another challenge. Instead of going to each unit to change its settings, or realizing late you forgot to turn on the attic heat pump; there’s a simple solution! You can create a link using Cielo Linked and all of this would be executed automatically without any manual intervention required.
For example, you can set a link to switch your Cielo Smart Thermostat to heat mode when the outdoor temperature drops to freezing (say 50F) while simultaneously turning off room air conditioners. Additionally, mini-splits in the attic and garage can be set to minimal heating (say 43F on heat mode) to prevent freezing temperatures and pipe bursts.
Energy Efficiency: Optimizing AC Usage
Cielo Linked not only streamlines your daily routines but also helps you save energy and reduce utility costs. By synchronizing the operation of your HVAC systems, you eliminate the possibility of unnecessary AC usage, resulting in wastage.
With the power to control multiple devices simultaneously, you can ensure that energy consumption is optimized and aligned with your desired comfort levels.
For example, you can sync your office air conditioner with your home air conditioner. You can set a link to turn on the home air conditioner when you turn off office AC. This way you will always come back home to a comfortable temperature.
Enjoy Rebates with MassSave
With Cielo Linked, you can even enjoy rebates via the MassSave program. It offers incentives to homeowners, renters, and landlords for being more energy efficient. The idea is to promote improved home comfort with lower energy costs that you can achieve via integrated controls by linking Cielo smart products.
What’s More?
Cielo Linked is revolutionizing home climate control by allowing you to link your ducted and ductless systems. However there is more, further releases are in the pipeline that will offer HVAC integrated controls in a much divese way than is imagined today.
We are in the process of creating and linking an AI software engine that will cater to user preferences and intelligently take care of all your home climate needs while focusing on enhanced energy savings.
In addition to linkage of ducted and ductless systems, Cielo Linked will allow linking any single HVAC system to indoor or outdoor temperature or humidity and optimize operation for enhanced comfort.
Furthermore, we’re adding the ability to link any HVAC system with environmental conditions to intelligently control dampness, humidity, dryness and other factors that can be important for holiday homes where furniture, closets & equipment is subject to deterioration due to climatic conditions.
