I am going to be purchasing a couple of smart things devices but I have a question before I do. What I am looking to do is turn on the power to my “through-the-wall” air conditioner based on the temperature of my apartment. I want to purchase the smart things hub, smart things multi sensor and the …

You bet ya. The only concern is, does the AIT conditioner start cooling when it is powered on? Or does it require interaction before it starts doing work?

I am going to have to check when I get home, I know it is digital but it may require my input in order to actually turn it on. Is is possible to use an IR blaster with Smartthings?

Some folks have used IR blasters with SmartThings, yes. What type are you using? I have seen them made with Arduino and the SmartThings ThingShield.

Does the AC unit have a built in thermostat or programming schedule? Does it have a relay or trigger input? If it has a thermostat or schedule, set those to a very low temp or scheduled always on so when it receives power it will start functioning. If it has a trigger input, use the [LFM-20][1] t…

@Ben My setup uses GC iTachs to send IR commands throughout my house. I am currently (as of this morning) sending an http request to a local server that runs a python script to do this, but it would be great to see native support for GC’s iTachs. They’re pretty popular nowadays, work very well, and…

Those iTachs look really cool! I think this would be an AWESOME addition to the STs family!

So I am able to disconnect the AC and plug it back in and it is still on. Unfortunately my main AC is 220 and it has a NEMA 6-15 plug but the receptacle is NEMA 6-20. Is there a zwave or zigbee compatible switch that would work in my scenario? I am open to changing the receptacle and plug to a devi…

how about this? http://www.zwaveproducts.com/Zwave-Controllers/Zwave-Remotes/Remotec-Z-Wave-ZXT-120-IR-Extender-for-Air-Conditioners.html

I read that it is not supported by smartthings and will not work.

According to this post, it works with the onboard codes. It just doesn’t learn. [image] HVAC IR Extender (Remotec ZXT 120) (2014) Community Created Device Types Does any one use Remotec Z-Wave ZXT-120 IR Extender for Air Conditioners Model: ZXT-120? [image] …
