How Does Air work?
There are two units in this unique smart system. For starters, there’s the sleek pentagonal device of classy design called Air, which goes on your wall. Then there are switchboard modules which can be easily placed behind the switchboard. The switchboard modules connect your appliances to Air via Bluetooth. Through the Android Air App which co-ordinates with the Air device, you can control your household devices anytime, from anywhere in the world. This saves energy as your devices are switched on only when it is actually required. And well, it saves your energy consumption too!
There’s more to the magic of Air: the sensors. Air can sense temperature, humidity, brightness and motion.

Energy Saver
Air controls the energy usage of top power consuming devices by turning it off while you are away. This feature alone makes Air one of the best methods available to cut down on your energy usage.
