Welcome
Hi,
In this manual we will guide you through the installation and
operation of Sensibo Sky: Make your air conditioner smart.
Sensibo Sky is a device that upgrades your existing air conditioner
to connect to the internet and makes it smart. It lets you control the
air conditioner from anywhere using your smartphone, monitor the
temperature and humidity remotely, set 7-day scheduling, make
your air conditioner turn on and off automatically and much more.
Compatibility
Sensibo can be installed to control any air conditioner that comes
with a remote control. These include split (wall mounted) air
conditioners, central air conditioners with a remote control,
window air conditioners, room air conditioners, cassettes and
more.
As long as the air conditioner can be controlled with a remote,
Sensibo can be installed and used with it.
Sensibo also needs WiFi access to operate.

I get a “device is disconnected” notification in
the app, what does it mean?
A few reasons can cause your smart A/C to appear as disconnected.
Please click on the notification to learn the reason (in iOS devices
you’ll need to reconnect to the Smart A/C’s network again).
Cannot join Wi-Fi network
This screen will appear when one of 3 scenarios happens:
1. The network is offline and the Smart A/C cannot join it
2. The password or name of the network were changed
recently and the Smart A/C cannot join it with it’s existing
data that is outdated
3. The Smart A/C was reset on purpose to connect to another
network
Android only - Network has no internet connection
This screen will appear when one of 2 scenarios happen, while the
Smart A/C managed to connect to the network (correct name and
password) but:
1. The network has no internet - might be an issue with the
Internet Service Provider
2. Some firewall or other security measures were changed and
block your A/C from connecting
Android only - App cannot find your smart A/C’s
network
This screen will appear if your mobile phone cannot “see” the Smart
A/C network when it scans the nearby networks - this can be
caused by a few reasons:
1. The A/C is not connected to the power so the device cannot
transmit any signals
2. The mobile phone is too far away from the Smart A/C so it
cannot see it
3. The Smart A/C was previously configured and need to be
reset remotely by the support
Android only - Cannot connect to your Smart A/C
network
This screen will appear when your mobile phone tried to connect to
the Smart A/C network (it appeared properly in the networks scan
your mobile phone performed) but then couldn’t complete the
connection process.
This is usually caused by another device that connected to the
device before your mobile phone managed to connect.
Smart A/C Installation issues
My Smart A/C cannot connect to my local
network
1. Make sure that you connected Sensibo Inside to your
network and that it the network is working properly (on
your mobile phone, etc.). Sensibo Inside should have a
steady blue light when it’s connected to the internet
properly. If it blinks it means there is a problem with the
connection:
a. 2 blinks repeatedly: Sensibo Inside cannot connect
to the network. This might be due to a
password/name change, proxy/security changes in
the network or just no signal from the network.
b. 3 blinks repeatedly: Sensibo Inside is connected to
the network but receives no connection.
c. LED is off = Wi-Fi chip issue, restart installation
process.
d. LED is on but no connection in app- server issue
2. Make sure that the A/C is connected to the power. If the
A/C is not connected to the power, Sensibo Inside cannot
connect to the internet and control the A/C.
A few reasons can cause your smart A/C to not be able to connect
in the installation process.
Please click on the notification to learn the reason (in iOS devices
you’ll need to reconnect to the Smart A/C’s network again).
