![]() I did find the day selector to be confusing, however, since it’s hard to tell if you’re selecting or deselecting a day. You can also create daily or weekly schedules with your mobile device: Just set the time, days of the week, function, temperature, and fan speed to achieve maximum efficiency. You can indicate your preferred comfort range for both values in the Cielo Home app. The Breez Plus’s own display is easy is easy to read, dimmable, and reports both the indoor temperature and relative humidity. The Cielo Breez Plus can operate on low-voltage wiring if it’s available otherwise, it will run on its provided AC adapter and USB cable. You can check your model’s compatibility on the company’s website. Nonetheless, your A/C unit still needs to have some kind of wireless remote in order for the Breez Plus to control it. While Cielo’s controller prefers that type of remote, its expansive compatibility list includes both. But many of the similar products that compete with the Breez Plus, including the Sensibo Sky and the Tado Smart AC Control (both of which I reviewed earlier), are limited to A/C units that have remote controls with displays. This class of product can only work only with air conditioners that have a remote control of one type or another they essentially take the place of that component. ![]() Oh, and they need to be within the air conditioner’s line of sight to operate. ![]() These controllers operate much like a smart thermostat for a whole-house HVAC system, but they manage a single device in one room.

The Breez Plus, like all Wi-Fi A/C controllers, enables your generally unconnected window, portable, mini-split, and various other types of air conditioner (or dehumidifier) to be a lot smarter. The pricier Breez Plus, reviewed here, has a street price of $109, but it features a display and onboard controls, so you can program a connected air conditioner without needing to pull out your mobile device. Like many similar devices we’ve tested, the simpler (and less-expensive, at a street price of $68) Breez Eco relies entirely on the Cielo Home app. ![]() Easy to set up and incredibly responsive, the Cielo Breez Plus is one of two Wi-Fi-connected air-conditioner controllers this company manufactures. ![]()
