1. Smart Air Conditioners
A smart air conditioner refers to a type of air conditioner that can be remotely controlled and its operating conditions checked, at home or in an office, via a smartphone by means of IoT technology. Concretely, such use becomes possible by incorporating Wi-Fi functions into the unit and downloading the designated application software onto a smartphone. Recently, these remote control and monitoring functions have been incorporated in other types of home electric appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators, and these are collectively called smart home electrical appliances.
