Key smart features in our range

1. Remote control via smartphone apps

Our split systems, including the Hisense J Series 2.5kW and Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-AP Series, feature built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control through dedicated apps like Hisense’s Hi-Smart or Mitsubishi’s MELCloud. Adjust temperature, fan speed, or louvre direction from anywhere—whether at work or on vacation. Forgot to turn off the unit before leaving? Simply tap your smartphone to switch it off, saving energy and reducing bills.

• Best for: Busy households needing flexible control.
• Example: Hisense J Series allows voice control via Google Assistant or Alexa, enhancing hands-free convenience.

2. Smart scheduling for effortless comfort

Set custom cooling or heating schedules to match daily routines. For instance, Fujitsu’s Comfort Range, controllable via the FGLair app, lets users program multiple units to operate at specific times, ensuring a cool home when arriving from work without wasting energy during the day. Mitsubishi Electric models offer weekly timers for precise automation, ideal for maintaining consistent comfort in Perth’s variable climate.

• Best for: Energy-conscious users who value automation.
• Example: Schedule the Hisense 5kW to cool a living room before evening family time.

3. Energy monitoring and efficiency

Smart air conditioners in our range, such as the Hisense J Series and Fujitsu Comfort Range, provide energy usage insights through their apps, helping users optimize settings to lower power consumption. Paired with inverter technology and eco-friendly R32 refrigerant, these units dynamically adjust performance to maintain comfort efficiently, reducing electricity costs. Some models, like Fujitsu’s Lifestyle Series, feature human sensors that switch to power-saving mode after 20 minutes of no movement, reactivating when someone returns.

• Best for: Eco-conscious households aiming to cut utility bills.
• Example: Fujitsu’s human sensor technology saves energy in unoccupied rooms, perfect for larger homes.

4. Voice control and smart home integration

Many units, including the Hisense J Series and select Mitsubishi Electric models, integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. Issue voice commands to adjust settings or check room conditions without lifting a finger. These systems also connect with broader smart home ecosystems, allowing coordination with devices like smart lights or thermostats for a cohesive home automation experience.

• Best for: Tech-savvy users with smart home setups.
• Example: Use Alexa to activate the Hisense J Series’ cooling mode while cooking in the kitchen.

5. Maintenance alerts and self-diagnostics

Our smart air conditioners enhance longevity with proactive maintenance features. Models like the Toshiba Seiya Classic send app notifications for filter cleaning or replacement, ensuring optimal air quality and performance. Some units, such as Mitsubishi Electric’s MSZ-AP Series, include self-diagnostic tools that detect issues like low refrigerant, alerting users to schedule timely servicing with AirDirect2U’s recommended technicians.

• Best for: Homeowners seeking low-maintenance solutions.
• Example: Toshiba’s filter alerts help maintain clean air, ideal for allergy-prone households.
