Perfect for the budget-conscious type, the app "tracks the owner’s usage so they can specifically adjust settings to save on [energy costs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunny-by-uncharted)," according to PSFK. What's more is that the app and air conditioner can keep track of certain patterns in a user, enabling it to turn off and on at the most opportune moments. No one likes a hot house when they're not home to enjoy it, and this app/air-con design is ideal to ensure that people are making the most of their heating bill. The Quirky Aros can be found on [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensibo-airq), but will not ship until May of this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 36% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Air Conditioners:** The trend toward smart air conditioners that can connect to mobile apps allows users to track usage and adjust settings to save energy and money. - **Energy Monitoring Apps:** The rise of energy monitoring apps enables users to analyze energy usage patterns and make adjustments to reduce costs. - **Remote Home Control:** The increasing popularity of devices that allow users to control and monitor their homes remotely presents opportunities for energy-saving innovations such as automatically adjusting air conditioner settings for optimal efficiency. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry is poised to benefit from the integration of energy-saving air conditioning with mobile apps and remote control capabilities. - **Energy Efficiency:** The energy efficiency industry can leverage the development of smart air conditioners and energy monitoring apps to help consumers save on energy costs. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the demand for smart air conditioners and innovative energy monitoring solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Aftermarket AC Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensibo-airq.md) - [Space-Conscious Window AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfyair-window-air-conditioner.md) - [Energy-Saving Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energysaving-air-conditioner.md) - [Space-Conscious Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfyair.md) - [Targeted Cooling AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-artcool-ai-air.md) - [Wearable App-Connected AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gloture-wearcool.md) - [Consummately Compact Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-conditioner.md) - [Powerful Portable Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave.md) - [Quiet Connected AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-connected-ac-systems-the-tcl-qseries-window-air-conditioner-is-easy-t.md)
