Single-room setup

A bedroom, home office, studio apartment — anywhere you only need to automate one room. This is the simplest setup: one hub, one area, one subscription.

Who it’s for

Section titled “Who it’s for”
  • People living in studios or 1K apartments
  • Anyone who only wants the bedroom optimised at night
  • Home offices / studies where you spend long focus blocks
  • “Try one room first before scaling to the whole house”

What you need

Section titled “What you need”
Recommended
Hub (thermo + IR)SwitchBot Hub 2 or Nature Remo mini 2
ACAny IR-remote-controllable model (nearly all home ACs)
SubscriptionSolo plan (¥500/month, 1 automated area)

Both the SwitchBot Hub 2 and Nature Remo mini 2 contain a thermo-hygrometer and an IR blaster in one device. That single unit covers both “read the room temperature” and “send commands to the AC” — no separate thermometer required.

Setup walkthrough

Section titled “Setup walkthrough”
  1. Connect the integration: register the hub and the AC inside the vendor app (SwitchBot or Nature Remo) → grab the token via Connect SwitchBot or Connect Nature Remo and save it in unawair.
  2. Create an area: from the dashboard, press “Create the first area” and pick the same hub for both the thermometer and the AC → Create an area.
  3. Set the comfort range: a good starting point is 22°C – 26°C (year-round) → Comfort range.
  4. Verify with Manual run: send one manual command from the dashboard and confirm the AC actually moves.
  5. Subscribe: pick Solo in the subscription management page and complete checkout.
  6. Switch Auto apply ON: edit the area and turn on the Auto apply toggle.

From the next tick (within 10 minutes), automatic control begins.

Going further: redundancy

Section titled “Going further: redundancy”

If you travel often, have pets at home, or just want resilience against vendor outages, you can register the same AC under both SwitchBot and Nature Remo:

  • Get two hubs (SwitchBot Hub 2 + Nature Remo mini 2)
  • Register the same AC in both vendor apps
  • Add both integrations to unawair (this uses both of Solo’s 2 integration slots)
  • Bind the AC twice to the area and set the control mode to “Rotate”

unawair then alternates targets each tick and immediately fails over if one fails. See “Control mode” on Create an area for details.
