Redshift Wireless Quick Start Guide…
As you might be aware, I have recently set up a company called Redshift Wireless. The idea for the first product is to cloud control almost any IR controllable Air Conditioner as a way to save energy. Whilst existing manufacturers of AC units have some units with WiFi, they are focussed on new units. Our focus is on existing stock, and also allowing units to be controlled when the cheapest quote is chosen by another party. The device works by installing a little WiFi module in the same room as the AC unit, and telling it what A/C unit is being used. We can put limits on settings and turn all or groups of units on and off at the same time.
I have a short video explaining this:
I am now needing some help finding people who might be interested in buying such a system, and also people who might be able to assist us with sales and installation. Our ideal market for the product is businesses and institutions (schools) who have at least five split system air conditioners with their own remote controls. Whilst we really do not want to get into the home market, we are happy to provide the solution for our family and friends.
We are working on some other products in the background. One of those is doing this for hotels and motels. In this case, the A/C will be replaced with one of ours that connects to our unit and will provide the same functionality of being able to fully control the Air Conditioner remotely, and override the in-room remote. This would also be useful in properties offered through web sites like AirBNB allowing energy usage to be managed.
I have attached a documents about the hardware and software. The software is cloud based, and constantly evolving it is designed so that we can upgrade it with the features that you need. The idea is also that a manager can monitor all sites at once, and zoom in on what is important to them. A future feature will be an emailed report indicating how many devices were used for how long, what the settings were etc.
