Cielo Breeze Max (Black)

Cielo Breeze Max Smart AC Controller for Mini-Split, Window, and Portable Air Conditioners (Model BM101WA, Black)

The Cielo Breeze Max (model BM101WA) is a smart AC controller that transforms any mini-split, window, or portable air conditioner with an IR remote into a connected climate system you can manage from anywhere. It uses AI-backed intelligence to maintain your desired temperature while cutting heating and cooling costs by up to 25%. Built-in temperature and humidity sensors continuously monitor your room environment, and the sharp LCD touchscreen displays live conditions so you always know what's happening. Whether you're a contractor installing systems for clients or a homeowner upgrading an existing setup, this device delivers programmable comfort and energy savings without replacing your existing equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Comfy Max AI: An AI-backed feature that maintains your desired room temperature by intelligently adjusting your mini-split settings to avoid overheating or overcooling. You get consistent comfort without constant manual adjustments, and the system learns to keep you in the zone you actually want.

• Control From Anywhere: Manage your home climate from anywhere in the world using the free Cielo Home app for iOS, Android, and web. You can adjust settings, check live temperature and humidity, and respond to alerts even when you're hours away from the job site or property.

• 7-Day Scheduling: Set daily or weekly schedules based on your lifestyle or occupancy patterns. Program different temperatures for mornings, afternoons, and nights across the entire week, so the system runs only when and how you need it.

• Geofencing: Location-based controls automatically pre-cool or pre-heat your home before you arrive and turn the system off when you leave. The controller uses your phone's location to trigger climate adjustments, eliminating wasted runtime and the walk-in-to-a-hot-house problem.

• Built-In Temperature & Humidity Sensors: Continuously monitor your room environment with sensors integrated directly into the Breeze Max unit. The Follow Me feature lets your mini-split rely on these sensors instead of its own, avoiding hot and cold spots caused by poor thermostat placement.

• Usage History & Energy Savings: Track your usage patterns through the app to identify opportunities to save energy and reduce costs. The system is engineered to deliver up to 25% savings on your heating and cooling expenses by optimizing runtime and eliminating unnecessary cycles.

• Temperature Range Lock: Set a minimum and maximum temperature range for your mini-split to operate within, perfect for vacation rentals or properties where you need to prevent extreme adjustments. The system won't allow setpoints outside your defined boundaries.

• Air Filter Status Alerts: Receive automatic alerts through the app when your filters require cleaning. The controller tracks runtime and reminds you to maintain the system, extending equipment life and keeping airflow at full capacity.

Compatibility & Requirements

The Cielo Breeze Max works with mini-split, window, or portable air conditioners and heat pumps that come with an IR remote control. It requires either 5V DC power from the included wall adapter or 24V AC for hardwired installations. The device operates in temperatures from 23°F to 122°F and humidity from 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing). Temperature setpoint limits range from 45°F to 90°F, though actual range depends on your specific mini-split make and model.

Installation & Care

Mount the Breeze Max on a wall using the included backplate, mounting screws, and drywall anchors, or place it on a surface using the included table stand. Power the unit with the supplied 100V to 240V USB adapter and cable, or wire it to a 24V AC source for permanent installations. Store the device in temperatures from -31°F to 113°F and humidity from 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Cielo Breeze Max really work with my existing AC unit?

A: The Breeze Max works with any mini-split, window, or portable air conditioner or heat pump that comes with an IR remote control. It communicates with your equipment by replicating the infrared signals your original remote sends, so if your unit responds to an IR remote, the Breeze Max can control it. You don't need to replace or modify your existing equipment.

Q: How does Cielo Breez work to control my air conditioner?

A: The Breeze Max uses infrared (IR) technology to send commands to your air conditioner, just like your handheld remote does. When you adjust settings in the Cielo Home app or on the device's LCD touchscreen, it transmits the corresponding IR signal to your AC unit. Built-in temperature and humidity sensors monitor room conditions, and the AI-backed Comfy Max feature automatically adjusts settings to maintain your desired comfort level without overheating or overcooling.

Q: How do I use the Cielo thermostat to set up schedules and automation?

A: Use the free Cielo Home app for iOS, Android, or web to create 7-day schedules with different temperature setpoints for each day and time period. You can also enable geofencing so the system automatically turns on before you arrive home and turns off when you leave, using your phone's location. The app lets you set up presets for Home, Away, and Sleep modes, and you can group multiple Breeze Max devices into zones to control them all with one tap.

Q: What is the smart AC controller for mini-split systems and how is it different from a regular thermostat?

A: A smart AC controller for mini-split systems like the Cielo Breeze Max adds connectivity, automation, and intelligence to air conditioners that don't have built-in smart features. Unlike a traditional thermostat that controls a central HVAC system through wired control signals, the Breeze Max uses infrared communication to work with your existing mini-split remote-controlled equipment. It provides smartphone control, geofencing, scheduling, usage tracking, and AI-driven temperature management without requiring any changes to your AC unit or electrical system.

Q: Can I control multiple Cielo Breeze Max units at the same time?

A: Yes, you can group multiple Cielo Breeze Max devices into a zone through the Cielo Home app and control all of them with a single tap. This is useful when you have several mini-splits or window units throughout a property and want to set them all to the same mode, temperature, or schedule. Each unit still has its own built-in sensors and can operate independently when needed.

Q: What certifications does the Cielo Breeze Max have?

A: The Cielo Breeze Max carries FCC, IC, Prop 65, and RoHS certifications. These certifications confirm the device meets regulatory requirements for electromagnetic interference, safety, and environmental standards in the United States and Canada.

Q: How much energy can I save with the Cielo Breeze Max?

A: The Cielo Breeze Max is engineered to reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 25%. It achieves these savings through features like geofencing (which turns your system off when you're away), 7-day scheduling (which eliminates unnecessary runtime), and the Comfy Max AI feature (which prevents overheating and overcooling by fine-tuning settings automatically). The usage history feature in the app lets you track your patterns and identify additional opportunities to cut energy waste.

Q: Does the Breeze Max have a temperature range lock feature?

A: Yes, the Temperature Range Lock feature lets you set a minimum and maximum temperature boundary that the system cannot exceed. This is particularly useful for vacation rentals, commercial properties, or any situation where you need to prevent users from setting extreme temperatures. Once you define the range, the Breeze Max will not allow setpoints outside those limits.

Q: What power source does the Cielo Breeze Max require?

A: The Breeze Max requires either 5V DC power from the included wall adapter (100V to 240V input) or 24V AC for hardwired installations. The package includes a USB adapter with cable for plug-in operation, and you can also connect it directly to a 24V AC power source if you prefer a permanent wired setup.

Q: Will the Cielo Breeze Max tell me when to clean my air filter?

A: Yes, the Breeze Max monitors your system's runtime and sends automatic alerts through the Cielo Home app when your air filters require cleaning. This feature helps you maintain optimal airflow, extend equipment life, and keep energy efficiency at peak levels by ensuring you clean filters on schedule rather than guessing when maintenance is due.
