This smart window reads your local weather forecast and cools your home with outdoor air
Reduce your cooling costs and freshen your home's air with SmartWind. It brings cooler air into your home, helping you rely on your air conditioning less.
Keep your home’s air cool naturally with the SmartWind autonomous smart window. This home cooling system reads your local weather and automatically brings cool outdoor air into your home when the temperature is lower.
You know those days at the end of summer when it’s cool outside, but your home is still hot? You typically keep the AC running to feel comfortable indoors. Well, you don’t have to do that anymore with the SmartWind. Its fan-based system automatically brings cool fresh air into your home while lowering energy costs.
Bring cool fresh air into your home
So how does the SmartWind work? Well, it boasts a sleek, translucent orb valve that allows air to pass through when open. At the orb’s base, a variable power fan brings large volumes of outdoor air indoors for cooling.
The translucent orb also acts like a quad-paned window, keeping the room better insulated than most energy-efficient windows and preventing heat loss in the winter.
What’s more, this sustainable product monitors the local forecasts and conditions from OpenWeatherMap. When the device detects cool air, it pulls it into a warm room, bringing fresh air indoors and lowering costs.
Control this eco-friendly vent with voice assistants
When you choose SmartWind, you get a slew of benefits in addition to saving energy and breathing fresher air. Each of the 4 SmartWind models features an antenna that supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Once you set it up, you can connect to smart assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
Choose from 4 models
Meanwhile, this smart window ventilating system comes in 4 models—Basic, Sconce Light, Plant Holder, and Weather Station—so you can choose one that fits your needs.
Each model except the Basic comes with a plant holder. And the SmartWind Weather Station and SmartWind Sconce Light both feature dimmable lights you can manage on your smartphone or home assistant. Plus, you can set the lights to turn on or off on a schedule.
Then, the SmartWind Weather Station shows you the current weather conditions in your areas, weather warnings, and more.
Enjoy autonomous cooling
You know those days just after a heatwave? The outside air is cool, but you need to run the AC because your home is still hot. With the SmartWind, you don’t have to do that anymore.
SmartWind detects cool air outside, allowing the gadget to automatically bring cool air from outside into your home at the fan power you last configured. And when your room reaches the set temperature, the vent closes by itself; you won’t have to get up at night to close the window if you feel too cold.
Prep your home for hotter days with Pre-Cool
Another helpful feature is the Pre-Cool option. Since the device monitors the weather, it can also plan for hot days by activating the Pre-Cool setting earlier in the morning.
Doing this consistently for a few days before hot weather pushes your need for AC until later in the day.
Check out these other cool features
In addition to cost savings and fresher air, this smart window has many other helpful features. One is that it also acts as a sleep aid, thanks to the white noise its operation provides. Yep, the SmartWind can help you drift off like a baby.
Next, the fan has 10 available settings, helping you get the cooling intensity you prefer. Say you like a gentle breeze in the morning and a cool blast once the afternoon rolls around. You can set the air conditions either way when you adjust the fan’s settings.
Manage SmartWind with its mobile app
SmartWind is also easy to use and manage via its phone app. The app has both basic and advanced settings. For the moment, there are options for setting the thermostat up or down, opening or closing the air valve, setting Pre-Cool thresholds, etc.
The company says it’s working on features like syncing local temperature readings with smart indoor thermostats, home automation synchronization options, and dynamic cooling. They sound pretty cool, and we can’t wait to see them integrated into the product.
Add this device to your DIY dream list
If you love DIY home projects, this smart window is for you. The company promises that it will give you a better return on your investment than integrating solar panels at a much lower price.
In fact, the company invites you to run a simulation on its Energy Calculator to see for yourself. The product is a great way to take action on climate change while being cost effective.
