Smarter air, with airCloud Go

With airCloud Go app (1), you can access your Hitachi air conditioner from anywhere & anytime. Enjoy more comfort, save more energy!

(PRE-REQUIREMENTS)

Make sure that your Hitachi air conditioner model is compatible with airCloud Go and that you have a wifi network available. Some Hitachi air conditioner models require the installation of an airCloud Adapter.(2)

ENHANCED INDOOR COMFORT

You can adjust the air conditioner’s set temperature, operation mode (cooling, heating, fan, dry or auto (3)), air flow direction and fan speed.

You can link the AC operation to your location. When a user is arriving and enters the pre-set perimeter, the air conditioner automatically turns on to create a welcoming atmosphere. When users exit the perimeter, air conditioners turn off or adopt an energy-saving temperature.

Ratings and reviews

Setup was fairly easy, but the app has very limited functionality compared to what is available on the remote, and many bugs. List of bugs: - weekly schedule always runs with level 2 fan (previous setting should be kept like for the swing) - holiday mode not working from the app (temperature is always set 23degC) - weather on the front page of the app never updates List of improvements needed: - there should be more than one weekly schedule (the old app Hi-Kumo can manage two schedules).

The app is the worst commercial app I ever used. I tried the android app on multiple devices and the iOS app on two iPhones, but the app is stuck on "Connecting to Wireless Network", spent hours on 3 different ACs none of them work. I can see all the Wifi adapters are connected to my home network but it just does not pass the screen, obviously there is not much QA effort put into it.

It's slow to load and not intutive at times, especially during initial pairing. but most of the useful functions are provided.
