# Infrared Air Conditioner Controllers The Tibbo System Controller Unit Helps Increase Efficiency By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-10-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/controller-unit References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/tibbo-project-system-based-office-air-conditioner-controller-application-04-10-2016/) & [tibbo](http://tibbo.com) Aiming to help make the [cooling of a space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-climate-control) more efficient, the Tibbo System Controller Unit has a number of features that will aim to make keeping a space cool more customized. The unit features a number of [infrared sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aicore) that keep track of the ambient light in a space. If no light is detected, the unit makes the assumption that there are no people and thus no reason for the air conditioner to run. Many older air conditioner units in offices and homes won't take into account fluctuating temperatures in order to tapper off operation. The Tibbo System Controller Unit aims to take [multiple temperature points](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homiffi) into account in order to keep inhabitants of the space comfortable all day without having to make adjustments. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Efficient Cooling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart air conditioner controllers that use sensors to detect occupancy and adjust cooling accordingly. - **Customized Climate Control:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create air conditioner controllers that use multiple temperature points to provide personalized cooling experiences for users. - **Energy-saving Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design energy-efficient air conditioner controllers that can detect ambient light and adjust operation based on occupancy. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate the Tibbo System Controller Unit into smart home systems for seamless climate control. - **Building Automation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate the Tibbo System Controller Unit into building automation systems to optimize energy usage in commercial spaces. - **Internet of Things (iot):** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop IoT-enabled air conditioner controllers that can communicate with other smart devices for enhanced energy management and user comfort. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aftermarket AC Controller Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boldr-klima-smart-ac-controller.md) - [Connected Aftermarket AC Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensibo-airq.md) - [Targeted Cooling AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-artcool-ai-air.md) - [Space-Conscious Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfyair.md) - [Smart Home Controller Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-remote-controller.md) - [Quiet Connected AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-connected-ac-systems-the-tcl-qseries-window-air-conditioner-is-easy-t.md) - [Roving Robotic AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-air-conditioner.md) - [Indoor Air Conditioning Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-ac.md) - [Efficient Air Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperganic.md)
