In my market of Ocean City, MD, where condominiums are the norm, most smaller condo units have heat and A/C that’s controlled on a room-by room basis.
The typical 1 BR condo has two through-the-wall air conditioners (functionally identical to window ACs, except that there’s a dedicated sleeve for them on the outer walls).
And for heat, there’s typically 4 electric baseboard radiators, each with its own thermostat.
Mysa is the main player in this space for “smart thermostats” that can control electric radiators.
Mysa also makes thermostats for controlling “dumb” A/C units (it’s a glorified IR emitter that simulates the handheld remote). Those don’t work tremendously well for A/C units, so whenever I need to replace an A/C unit, I make sure to get an EQK or TCL brand, because those have apps that let you control the A/C remotely. There’s also a third-party app called SmartLife that can generically control wi-fi enabled air conditioners.
I bring this up because there are two feature requests that could help those of us who use these devices. If you have electric baseboards or A/C window/wall units, can you upvote these requests to consider adding support for them under Hospitable Devices?
