Google Nest For The Rest Of Us

electric light bulb and a plant inside itThere is a product from Google called the Nest Controller. This might be a great product, but it has a number of issues. These issues means that it is ideal for Google, but it also allows companies like Redshift Wireless to stand alone with their own product.

You see, the Google Nest is a smart controller for Air Conditioners and Heaters with a wired control system. These are generally ones that are used for climate control in large spaces, using a 4/5 wire interface. These allow the compressor and the controller inside to be made by different companies, and put all the intelligence in the controller. If your Air Conditioner does not have a 4/5 wire connection then you are out of luck. If it has an intelligent electronic interface between the two then things are not going to work. If you have a split system then things are not going to work either.

What sets Redshift Wireless apart is that our technology interfaces via the IR remote control port, which most split systems and many ducted units have. This makes our solution much more appropriate for the Australian and Asian regions
