It is extremely important to take care of our planet and live green with green devices in every aspect of life today. It is a great situation if you can save your money and, at the same time, save your planet as well. During the summer, almost every apartment in New York has an air conditioner turned on 24/7 to make life cooler than outside. That’s why CoolNYC, an energy-monitoring initiative from New York, and ThinkEco decided to help people from New York and make their life easier and healthier with one little application.
What you can do with the air conditioner mobile application?
CoolNYC and ThinkEco developed an application with what you can control your air conditioner via your smart phone or the Internet. Sounds incredible, right? The main reason this application was developed was to prevent air conditioners running all day which is quite normal for summer months. All you need to have is one smart plug which you can plug-in your air conditioner and with that you can control the amount of electricity that goes into your air conditioner. So, if you had to run somewhere and forgot to turn off your air conditioner, you can just activate this application. On the other hand, you can also turn your air conditioner on a few minutes before you arrive at home in the perfect temperature.
Furthermore, you can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner (AC) with an on-board thermostat so that when the apartment reaches a certain temperature it simply turns off. Likewise, when the temperature of the apartment rises, the AC will turn on again. You can also check the amount of energy your air conditioner uses and adjust the air conditioner to work with less energy but more efficiently. This little smart plug can cut your electricity bills and improve your air conditioner’s performance.
This application has already become a hit with around 7,000 customers all over the New York waiting in line to buy the device and save money. Interested users can purchase theirs at New York Best Buy for 70$.

Developing applications for the Android mobile is a very good business selection. Becoming a mobile application developer, I realized that far more and more individuals are in search of Android applications.

Being able to turn off the air conditioner using Android phone is really a great feature. We no longer have to be scared all day about “Did I really tuned the Air Conditioner off?”

It’s awesome that this is even possible nowadays. I feel like a lot of people forget how lucky we are, because we basically live in this amazing future that people 50 years ago wouldn’t have believed. Great spotlight on this app!

This is a cool way to know how much electricity is running from your HVAC at home. Keep it up!

I have seen this technology in larger systems, but I like the convenience of just purchasing the smart plug so I don’t have waste energy and end up sweating at night. I am not from the city, but from Poughkeepsie about 1 1/2 hours north…I still have to deal with the summer heat.

That sounds pretty cool! We have something similar in New Zealand that should be coming out very shortly. The app ‘talks’ to small device that sends IR signals to your Air Conditioner.

Oh, this would be totally cool to do. Still be at the office, but reset the air conditioning at home, and then just when returning home from work, the house is nice and cool and ready! So refreshing!

It’s such a small amount of money out of pocket to purchase this software, and provides an easy method to help people conserve energy, save money, even if your forgetful.
