Lite | Smart AC Controller for Mini-Split, Window & Portable Air Conditioners & Heat Pumps | Free App, No Subscriptions | Alexa, Google, SmartThings, IFTTT (White)

It's the best wireless mini-split system ever. first of all, let's talk about the standard mini-split remotes the standard mini-split remotes come in two general styles A. the most basic remote they can manufacture and include with the units. B. the "high-end" remote which comes with the bigger units. If you were unlucky and received the basic remote then you are limited in the settings and the ability to set up comprehensive timers. if you spent the extra money on the bigger units and they rewarded you with the "high-end" remote good luck trying to set up the weekly schedule. Once you come to pieces with your purchase or figured out how to set the timers you will realize very fast that you are spending way too much on your electric bill. Hence, you do what every good person does and try to find out how you can connect your units to the internet to control them from your phone and that's where the companies get you. either you have to order a special part that costs an arm and a leg to get and that is when you find out that most places that carry it for a decent price require you to be an authorized HVAC installer or reseller. let's say you have a way of getting it most of the time you have to hard wire it into the mini-split head. even with all that it does not work :-( in comes the Cileo breeze light the Cileo breeze light is built as a plug-and-play system! It works using the IR sensors on the head (the same system that you use when you use the remote that came with the unit) The Cileo breeze light seamlessly connects to your home wifi and your phone using the Celio home app. the Celio Home app gives you the ability to save money by allowing you to control your mini split from anywhere (as long as you are connected to the internet) Cileo Breeze light empowers you with the ability to set up (almost) unlimited timers Cielo empowers you to turn off the unit if your kids/roommate/spouse/(the guy who is not paying the electric bill) leaves it running. the last and most important thing is IT WORKS :-)

I bought this to replace a nearly identical Sensibo device. The Sensibo did not work reliably with my Daikin AC, so I was unsure the Cielo would work any better. So I am very happy that the Cielo works almost perfectly and is superior to the Sensibo unit in many ways. For example, I was able to select the AC remote using its model number. The schedule function works reliably. The notifications of events is useful. I give it 4 stars only because some AC functions are not available, such as the ‘quiet’ fan speed. Powerful mode is supported but cannot be scheduled. Otherwise it would get 5 stars from me.

The Cielo Breeze Lite instructions were simple and straightforward, and the device connected to my mini-split right away. It didn't respond to all remote commands initially, but the Cielo online chat technician, Sam, was able to quickly diagnose and fix the issue remotely. I was up and running in minutes! Amazing service!

Very easy and quick to set up and connect to my Google Home system. I am now able to completely control my air conditioning from anywhere and set up routines so that i can save money every time I leave the house. Great product, simple, small, and very easy to set up.

I have several Cielo controllers installed in my home with Fujitsu mini-splits. They are easy to install and much less expensive than the similar controllers you can buy from Fujitsu. Most of the reasons I purchased and installed the Cielo controllers are mentioned in other reviews so I will not list them all again here. I will say they are easy to use at home or while away home and all satisfy most owners requirements for an A/C controller. The Comfy mode and program scheduling may not be obvious when you first set them up, but take time to understand how they work if you want to take full advantage of the controllers' functionality. The Alexa integration works as advertised, but be aware than sometimes Alexa misunderstands a request as a Cielo request when you meant to turn on/off something else. That's actually an Alexa issue and not a Cielo issue. Also, note that the controller does not sync with your Fujitsu remote. So if you change a setting using the Fujitsu remote then that change will not be reflected in the Cielo app or the Cielo controller. My advice is that once you install the Cielo controllers, put away the original remotes, although that might not be workable if you have someone in your home who prefers using the Fujitsu handheld remote versus the app. The app is relatively easy to use and it is your only option if you are not using a controller with controls physically on the controller. I have both types, but use the app for all of my controllers, but it is helpful to be able to glance at the controller and see the current status without opening the app. Finally, you can place the controller wherever you like as long as the transmitters on the controller can reach the mini-split unit. There are several transmitters on each controller. However, the room temperature will reflect the temperature where the until is located which may be hotter or colder than the actual temperature where you are sitting if it is a large room. However, the same is true for temperature sensors in the mini-split which usually are not located where most room occupants are in the room. So you may have to set the set point up or down to get the actual room temperature you want. For most of the Fujitsu mini-splits you can set the thermostat in each mini-split to actually set the temperature low or higher than the actual room temperature. For example if you need to set the mini-split to 78 to get a room temperature of 75, you can set the mini-split to automatically do this so that when you set the temperature to 75, the mini-split actually is set to 78. This may be true for other mini-splits as well. I highly recommend the Cielo controllers. The only real decision is which controller best meets your requirements.
