Now, if you have your own A/C unit, you can get a "ThinkEco smartAC WiFi Kit" that will allow you to use the Aros’ smart capabilities with the existing A/C unit.

The ThinkEco smartAC Wi-Fi Kit is a plug-in module that occupies the space between the air conditioner and the outlet. It connects to the Wi-Fi home network and allows remote access to your home’s A/C system using your mobile phone or device.

Using this mobile app lets users adjust the A/C unit's temperature even if they’re away to save energy. ThinkEco’s on-board sensor will also give users real-time reading of the room temperature.

ThinkEco will let you schedule your A/C from an iOS or Android phone.

What's exciting about ThinkEco is that it helps save money on your electricity bill and gives you an exact amount of total energy your A/C used.

The ThinkEco smartAC kit costs US$140. New York City, Baltimore, or San Antonio are the places where you can be eligible to get the plug-and-play unit for free via company’s Cool Savings program.
