Frequently Asked Questions

How do retail chains manage AC across hundreds of stores?

With Sensibo Airbend every store AC appears in one dashboard, organized by region and store, with schedules and temperature policies applied centrally.

Does it require replacing the store AC units?

No. A small controller is added to each existing unit and installs in minutes without tools.

Can AC follow store opening hours automatically?

Yes. Schedules follow opening hours and holidays, so units stop running after closing without anyone switching them off.
