Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Hi,

My house has no smart home features at present. I have 5 AC units in various rooms, which are all controlled by a panel on the wall (different panel in each room for each unit) - pretty basic controls - temperature and Auto or 1/2/3 speed. There is no remote control .

is there any easy way for me to make these units "smart" in that I can control them from my phone? I see a product like Sensibo, but I dont understand how I pair that to my control unit or how it would work.

Thanks

Smart plugs and Node-Red will take care of this for you, unless you are also trying to control temperature.
