Ambi Climate
Common AC Issues
• Fails to provide indoor comfort
• ACs undercool on hot days
• ACs are too cold at times
• Users feel hot/cold when outdoor weather changes
• Users wake up cold at night
• Users adjust the AC constantly
• AC remotes are unintuitive, only allows temperature control
About Ambi Climate
• The world’s first AI enabled smart air conditioner controller
• Is designed to solve daily common comfort issues while users using the AC
• Leverages data from onboard sensors and external data sources
• Intelligently learns from users’ feedbacks on their comfort level
• Analyzes how temperature and other key factors including humidity, sunlight, weather and time of day affect thermal comfort
• The performance of AC is also analyzed by Machine Learning algorithms
• By analyzing all these data and combining them with users’ personal feedback about their comfort level, Ambi Climate is able to create unique profile, then adjust the AC to fit users in any situation.
• Revolutionizes the way users use their ACs – from controlling the temperature to indicating comfort level
Unique Selling Points
• AI Technology – Our unique AI technology leverages data from onboard sensors and external sources to analyze how different factors affect users’ comfort. Combining the data with users’ feedback about their comfort level, the AI engine will then develop personalized comfort profile. A second set of AI machine learning models analyzes the performance of the AC, which can be affected by room size, layout, age of AC and other elements. We combine these two models to auto-adjust the AC to enhance comfort.
• Consider Multiple Factors – According to ASHRAE, there are 6 factors which affect thermal comfort.
While ACs only consider temperature, Ambi Climate takes other factors, including humidity, sunlight, weather and time of day (metabolism) into account.
• Learns From Feedback – Ambi Climate revolutionizes the usage paradigm of ACs. User simply report their comfort level – whether hot, cold or comfortable, in different seasons and times, Ambi Climate will then learn from their feedback, combining with sensors reading and online weather data to create personal comfort profile for users and auto-adjust the AC.
Product Features
• AI Engine and Multiple Sensors – Ambi Climate intelligently learns from users’ feedback and analyzes online data to deliver enhanced comfort.
• Comfort Model – Creates a personal comfort profile for users, matching their needs and continuously delivers a tailor-made comfortable environment by auto-adjusting the air conditioner.
• Smart Home Integrations – Users can enjoy a true Smart Home experience with IFTTT or an open API for further home automation. Through IFTTT, users can utilize other smart assistant platforms, such as Apple Siri, Samsung Bixby, Microsoft Cortana, and more.
• Voice Control – Ambi Climate is fully and directly integrated with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, for easy on/off air conditioner control, settings adjustment and comfort feedback.
• Multi-user Geolocation – automatically controls your AC and turns it on/off based on your distance from home and your preset radius of arrival or departure. Users can set personal ‘geo-rules’, or presets, depending on their preferences, to ensure perfect conditions at any time.
• Smart Scheduling – Set up timers and rules for users to plan out the day and for better home automation.
• Access Anywhere and Analytics – Users can monitor and control the AC on-the-go. Through our dedicated smartphone app (iOS/Android), users can also learn more about their AC usage and habits with extensive insights and tools.
Unique Product Design
Our principal innovation is in redefining the AC usage paradigm from a temperature only control to one that focuses on comfort, leveraging artificial intelligence to concurrently consider all the factors that make up this comfort.
Many of the problems caused by human thermal comfort are caused by the anchoring of a user around a single temperature number. Whether you prefer 68F or 72F, the common issue is that a single temperature is insufficient to fully define your comfort.
Our product changes this paradigm. By asking the user to simply indicate if they feel hot, cold, or comfortable, we free the user from this temperature focus and instead consider how they feel.
Through AI, we combine this feedback with data from our onboard sensors, as well as the local weather (via an internet based service), learning how sensitive the user is to factors such as humidity and changing weather, and learning what feels comfortable to them at various times throughout the day. We have even been able to learn how the body acclimatizes to weather during the seasons, ensuring that we maintain perfect conditions all the time.
Our application of AI in this way is revolutionary. While there are other smart AC type products that use AI (e.g. Nest and Ecobee), these tend to to be schedule or location based, learning the habits of users in this regard (such as when they are at home).
Ambi Climate Modes (3 smart modes and manual mode)
Ambi Climate has various smart modes utilizes AI technology to match different lifestyle:
• COMFORT MODE – Simply indicate your comfort level (hot, cold or comfortable) and from the 3rd feedback onward the AI engine will learn from you and start auto-adjusting to deliver an optimal environment to match your needs. Comfort mode is good for users who find themselves constantly adjusting the AC and never feeling “just right”.
• AWAY MODE – Set threshold of your choice (heating,cooling or drying), Ambi Climate will fulfill your preference in the most energy-efficient way; it will turn on the AC when needed to maintain the threshold. Away Mode is good for users who work long hours or travel a lot and need hassle-free control of the environment.
• TEMPERATURE MODE – Select your set target temperature, and Ambi Climate will then reach it by using the most efficient setting and either lowering or raising your AC’s temperature. Taking into account how both your room environment and the performance of your AC are affected by climate changes, our AI and Machine Learning algorithms will ensure your comfort no matter what happens. Temperature Mode is suitable for users who already know which temperature condition is the best for them.
•MANUAL MODE – Control your AC without having to use your old-fashioned remote or necessarily being next to the AC or even at home with Ambi Climate. Through the dedicated app, you’ll be able to use your AC just as you would with your normal remote (meaning you can also set the fan, swing and louver) without any added AI or smart features. Manual Mode is suitable for users who simply want to control their ACs on-the-go.
