  • Air conditioning can often be complex and technical; however, our customers should be able to enjoy comfort instantly, and without effort. We challenged ourselves to upgrade our customer experience by helping users to understand their Power Consumption in heating and cooling and simplifying complex on-boarding processes.

  • Through consumer research, modularization of hardware, optimized information display, and operation methods tailored for web and mobile platforms, we created a solution that works with existing legacy products and upcoming new products that can provide a delightful end-user experience with transparency to power usage and a higher level of control.

  • Positive feedbacks were given to the delivery of a unify user experience for global platforms from its ability to simplify the overall IoT usage experience. We believe better air directly translates to better health in today's new reality, and IoT enables more transparency to our air quality more than ever. We are constantly innovating to optimize energy usage and how we bring safety, comfort and energy efficiency into the life of air quality.
