Air conditioner monitoring solution – BenKon

Date posted: 01/06/2022

BenKon is a technology company, providing hardware equipment that turns conventional air conditioners into smart ones, thereby customers can save energy and maintenance costs, ensuring a clean atmosphere for the whole family, office, factory.

This is especially important because air conditioners’ energy accounts for between 30% – 60% of the household’s electricity consumption.

Benkon’s solution is based on advanced technology: bluetooth mesh instead of wifi, zigbee or smart home standards. This helps to take advantage of existing resources, minimize deployment costs, and bring convenience to users.

When using air conditioner, customers have to balance the requirements of reducing electricity consumption – rapid cooling – durability – fresh air. This is still a challenge, especially in hot climate areas that require constantly air conditioning.

Based on the research of using habit & climate conditions in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, the BenKon device is designed to:

Sync with different types of air conditioners, optimizing the entire parameters to offer the smart modes.

Control cool modes, temperature and fan speed through a smart algorithm.

Integrate other special functions to solve the above problem, bringing the best experience to users

Just by applying a small electronic device into your air conditioner and setting phone app, BenKon will upgrade your air conditioner into an IoT premium device, increasing air quality, and monitoring all parameters via your phone, which means protecting your family’s health.

 

 

Bluetooth mesh technology:

 

Accordingly, using Bluetooth mesh has some of the following advantages:

  • uninterrupted connectivity.
  • More stable and scalable than WIFI
  • safety and security capabilities.
  • easyly deployed and available on many devices at low cost.
  • Good compatibility: 100% compatibility with any device, including all new features; Fully synchronize with IR remote control.

IoT equipment monitoring and controlling air conditioners – Benkon Warrior

Benkon Warrior is directly connected to the air conditioner, receives the status from the device and provides information to users through the Benkon mobile app.

This is a complete IoT system: the processing is distributed partly in the device (Warrior), partly in the App (the device acts as a gateway, user interface), then transferred to the server system (cloud) for storage and processing again.

Software monitoring and forecasting the maintenance and cleaning time for air conditioners:

BenKon’s software principles are based on the following basis:

  • Measure the temperature and humidity of the room, constantly monitoring for abnormalities.
  • Measure the energy consumption of the air conditioner, thereby calculating the cooling performance over time to forecast.
