I wish this could turn the AC on and off smartly to save energy – Sensibo Review

While I do appreciate that the Sensibo Pod shows an area's live temperature, the app and product is basically the same as setting your AC to the automatic setting already programmed to the AC unit. Besides letting you control the AC remotely (heat vs cold, temp up/down, power I/O + enter/leave geofence with IFTTT), the Sensibo is not the Nest equivalent I had heard it to be. -------You can achieve the same set up far more cheaply by buying a smart switch (w/ IFTTT) and setting your AC to automatic on a reasonable temperature. Then you can use the geofences to smartly control power away from home. The right smart switch could also work with Apple HomeKit's Siri and/or Amazon Alexa-------
