Per-room auto-control
When every room (living room, bedroom, study, kid’s room) has its own AC unit and you want them driven independently with separate comfort ranges. Pro plan (¥980/month, 5 areas) usually covers it — the typical Japanese-home layout.
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”- Detached homes or apartments with 2LDK+ layouts
- A separate AC in each room (the standard Japanese setup)
- Multi-person households where comfort preferences differ (working from home, sleeping, kids)
What you need
Section titled “What you need”| Recommended | |
|---|---|
| Hub (one per room) | SwitchBot Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2 (mix is fine) |
| ACs (one per room) | IR-remote controllable |
| Subscription | Pro plan (¥980/month, 5 automated areas) |
Why every room needs its own hub
Section titled “Why every room needs its own hub”IR signals don’t go through walls. The living-room hub cannot send commands to the bedroom AC across the hallway, so each room with an AC needs its own hub.
Both SwitchBot Hub 2 and Nature Remo mini 2 carry a thermometer and an IR transmitter in one unit, so a single device per room covers both sensing and control.
Setup walkthrough
Section titled “Setup walkthrough”- Connect the integration: register every hub and AC in the vendor app first, then add the integration to unawair once (devices from the same vendor account are read in together).
- One area per room: create areas named after the physical rooms (Living room, Bedroom, Office) — each area uses its own room’s hub for both thermometer and AC → Create an area.
- Per-room comfort ranges: nudge them based on how each room is used (see below).
- Subscribe to Pro.
- Switch Auto apply ON on each area.
Per-room comfort range suggestions
Section titled “Per-room comfort range suggestions”| Room | Suggested range | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | 22°C – 26°C | Where you spend the most time. The default comfort band. |
| Bedroom | 20°C – 24°C | Slightly cooler for sleep, works in both summer and winter. |
| Office / study | 22°C – 25°C | Narrow band for focus. Sedentary work makes you cold faster. |
| Kid’s room | 22°C – 26°C | Default. Lean a bit warmer if the child is small. |
These are starting points only — adjust one bound at a time over a few days. See Comfort range.
Things to watch
Section titled “Things to watch”- The same AC can’t be assigned to “Auto apply ON” in multiple areas at once — unawair blocks it, because the two areas would race each other every 10 minutes
- To pause automation for just one room, flip that area’s Auto apply OFF — temperature logging continues
