GE Appliances, a Haier company, has unveiled the industry's first and only WiFi-enabled window air conditioning units with geolocation capabilities.
The geolocation capabilities allow customers to control the AC from where ever they want. By connecting the window AC unit to the GE Comfort app, users can enable real-time adjustments to the temperature before they ever get home.
"Schedules can change day to day and even hour to hour, especially during the busy summer months," said Brian Buente, executive director retail and ductless AC for GE Appliances. "Wouldn't it be nice to know your home will be the ideal temperature when you get there, no matter what time it is? And have the peace of mind to know it hasn't been running all day while no one was home? This new technology puts control at your own fingertips."
The location assist feature uses the phone's location to determine if homeowners are away from home and then automatically adjusts the temperature setting to maximize overall comfort and efficiency.
