Know before you buy
The Breez Lite works with any ductless mini-split, window, or portable AC unit that comes with a handheld infrared (IR) remote control. If your unit uses a standard IR remote, it is almost certainly compatible.
Yes, a stable Wi-Fi connection is required to control your AC remotely via the app or voice assistants. However, your pre-set schedules and automated climate settings will continue to run even if the internet connection is temporarily lost.
No, the Breez Lite must be placed in the same room as your AC unit with a clear line of sight. It communicates with your AC using infrared signals, similar to how your original remote works.
Geofencing uses your smartphone's location to automatically adjust your AC settings based on your proximity to home. You can set it to turn your unit off when you leave or turn it on when you are within a certain distance, helping you save energy without sacrificing comfort.
The Breez Lite provides usage history and insights based on your AC's run time and settings. While it doesn't measure electricity draw directly from your wall outlet, it tracks how often and at what intensity your unit operates to help you optimize your energy consumption.
Not at all. The setup is designed to be completed in about one minute by following the prompts in the Cielo Home app. You simply plug the device in, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and point it toward your AC unit.
