Overview

What it is and where it fits

The Sensibo Air PRO is the version of the Sensibo Air to buy if you also want to know how fresh the air in a closed Dubai bedroom, nursery or home office is. It controls any AC that came with an infrared handheld remote, which in practice means wall-mounted splits, plus window, portable and some cassette units. It sits on the wall facing the indoor unit, learns the remote, and brings the AC into the Sensibo app, Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. Everything the Sensibo Air does is here: schedules, geofencing and Climate React, which runs the AC to hold a temperature or humidity target. The PRO adds a TVOC sensor, a CO2 reading and an air quality score in the app, plus PureBoost, which raises the AC fan when air quality drops. Be realistic about that last part. A split AC recirculates room air, so a faster fan will not bring CO2 down. The alert tells you to open a door or run fresh air. It does not control chilled-water fan coil units run by a wired wall thermostat, which is what most Dubai tower apartments on district cooling have, and it does not control ducted or VRF systems with wired controllers. You need one unit per AC, a Wi-Fi 2.4GHz network and a socket or USB power nearby. If you only want AC control, the cheaper Sensibo Air or tado do the same job. The Amazon.ae price is a US import, so expect a US plug and about two weeks' delivery.

  • Controls a wall-mounted split AC from your phone with no wiring
  • Warns you when VOCs or CO2 build up in a closed bedroom
  • Holds a set temperature and humidity overnight with Climate React
  • Works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings

What to check before you order

This is for homes where each room has a wall-mounted split with a handheld remote, which covers most villas and many older low-rise apartments. Check your AC first. If your tower apartment has a wired wall thermostat and chilled water from Empower, Emicool or another district cooling provider, the fan coil has no infrared receiver and this will not work. Ducted and VRF systems with wired controllers are the same story. Mount it on the wall facing the indoor unit, a few metres away, out of the direct cold airflow so the temperature reading stays honest. The current Amazon.ae stock is a US import, so plan for a Type-G adapter or a UK 5V USB charger. Burning oud or bakhoor will spike the TVOC reading, which is accurate, not a fault. After a DEWA cut, check the AC state in the app, because infrared commands are one-way.

Sensibo in the UAE. Stocked by UAE online retailers. Like tado°, it bridges to your existing AC remote rather than your AC wiring.

Answers

Questions about the Sensibo Air PRO Smart AC Controller with Air Quality Sensor

What is the Sensibo Air PRO?
Chevron down icon
It is a small Wi-Fi controller that learns your AC's infrared remote and puts the AC in an app, with voice and Apple Home control. The PRO version adds an air quality sensor for VOCs, a CO2 reading and an air quality score. It was previously sold as the Sensibo AirQ.

How is the Air PRO different from the Sensibo Air?
Chevron down icon
AC control is the same. The PRO adds a TVOC sensor, a CO2 reading and air quality score in the app, and PureBoost, which raises the AC fan when air quality drops. If you only want to control and schedule the AC, the regular Sensibo Air does that job.

How much does the Sensibo Air PRO cost in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
We found it at AED 532 on Amazon.ae, sold by Amazon US through the Global Store with about two weeks' delivery. Local marketplace sellers ask AED 660 to 990, and noon listings were above AED 900. You need one per AC, so multiply before budgeting.

Will it work with my AC?
Chevron down icon
It works if your AC came with an infrared handheld remote, which covers Daikin, LG, Gree, Midea, O'General, Samsung, Mitsubishi and most wall splits. Sensibo says over 10,000 models are supported. It will not work with an AC controlled only by a wired wall panel.

Does it work with chilled-water fan coil units in Dubai apartments?
Chevron down icon
No. Most Dubai towers on district cooling use fan coil units run by a wired wall thermostat, with no infrared receiver on the unit. The Air PRO has nothing to talk to. Those apartments need a replacement fan coil thermostat instead, which we can advise on.
Contact us

Can it control a ducted or VRF system?
Chevron down icon
Usually not. Ducted splits and VRF indoor units in Dubai villas are normally run by wired wall controllers, which infrared cannot reach. A few ducted units ship with a wireless remote and receiver kit, and those can work. Ducted systems with wired panels need a Wi-Fi adapter from the AC brand or a gateway.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need one for each AC?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Each indoor unit needs its own Air PRO, because it talks to one AC by line of sight. A three-bedroom villa with a living room and majlis split usually needs five. You could put the PRO in bedrooms and cheaper Sensibo Air units in other rooms.

Does the air quality feature actually clean the air?
Chevron down icon
No. It measures and alerts. PureBoost only increases the AC fan speed. A wall split recirculates room air, so it will not lower CO2. When the app shows stuffy air, open a door, run the bathroom extract fan or use a fresh air system. For particles, add an air purifier.

Does it measure PM2.5 dust?
Chevron down icon
No. Sensibo's spec sheet lists temperature, humidity and a TVOC sensor, and the app shows CO2 and an air quality score. There is no particle sensor for dust or PM2.5, which matters in Dubai sandstorm season. For dust readings you need a separate monitor or a purifier with a PM sensor.

Why does the reading jump when we burn bakhoor?
Chevron down icon
Oud, bakhoor, air fresheners and cleaning sprays release volatile organic compounds, which is exactly what the TVOC sensor detects. A spike after burning incense is a correct reading. It is a useful reminder to air the room, especially a closed bedroom or nursery.

Is a subscription needed?
Chevron down icon
No. Remote control, schedules, timers, geofencing and Climate React are included with the app. Sensibo sells an optional paid plan, Sensibo Plus, with extra energy saving features and extended warranty. Most homes are fine without it.

Does it work with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Sensibo lists Apple Home (HomeKit), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT, plus an open API for integrators. You can say 'set the bedroom to 23' or add the AC to a scene that runs when you arrive home.

What plug does it come with in the UAE?
Chevron down icon
It runs from a 5V 1A micro USB adapter that accepts 110-240V. The Amazon.ae offer we priced ships from Amazon US, so it may arrive with a US flat-pin plug. Any good UK-style 5V USB charger or a Type-G adapter solves it. Voltage is not a problem.

What happens during a DEWA power cut?
Chevron down icon
The Air PRO switches off with the power and reconnects when it returns. Infrared is one-way, so it cannot confirm what the AC did after the cut. Open the app and check, or tap the power button once to resync. The universal IR receiver also picks up commands from your normal remote.
Contact us
Contact us
Does it work if the internet drops?
Chevron down icon
App control from outside the home and cloud automations such as geofencing depend on the internet, so they pause until it returns. Your normal AC remote keeps working as usual. Once the connection is back, schedules and Climate React carry on.
Contact us
Contact us
Where should it be mounted?
Chevron down icon
On the wall or a shelf facing the AC's indoor unit, in clear line of sight, a few metres away. Keep it out of the direct cold airflow and away from windows in sun, or the temperature reading will be wrong. It fits with the supplied tape or a single screw.

Can a tenant install it?
Chevron down icon
Yes. It needs no wiring and no changes to the AC, and the double-sided tape mount comes off cleanly in most cases. There is nothing for the landlord or building management to approve. Take it with you when you move and pair it with the new AC.

How long does installation take, and do you fit it?
Chevron down icon
Setup takes a few minutes per unit: scan the QR code, join 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, pick your AC brand and test. We fit them when a home has several units, check line of sight and power for each, and set up schedules and Apple Home or Alexa for the family.

Does it save money on DEWA bills?
Chevron down icon
It saves when it cuts run hours: turning ACs off when everyone leaves, stopping bedrooms overcooling at night and switching off forgotten units in the maid's room or majlis. Sensibo claims up to 40 percent, but real savings depend on how wasteful your current habits are.

Is it good for holiday homes and short-term rentals?
Chevron down icon
It helps. You can switch off ACs left running between guests and pre-cool a unit before check-in from anywhere. Sensibo also sells a separate service for hosts. For a DTCM holiday home with wall splits it is a practical way to control the biggest running cost.

Sensibo Air PRO or tado Smart AC Control V3+?
Chevron down icon
Both control split ACs by infrared and work with the main voice assistants. Pick tado for presence and open-window detection and detailed energy reports. Pick the Air PRO if you want air quality alerts in the same device. Neither works with wired fan coil or ducted systems.

Sensibo Air PRO or Broadlink RM4 Pro?
Chevron down icon
The Broadlink RM4 Pro is a cheaper universal remote that also handles TVs and RF curtains, but it has no built-in room sensors and a more basic AC interface. The Air PRO is a dedicated AC controller with temperature, humidity and air quality sensing and stronger automations. For a bedroom split, the Air PRO is easier to live with.

What warranty and support do I get?
Chevron down icon
Sensibo gives a one year limited warranty and online support. There is no Sensibo service centre in the UAE, so faults are handled with Sensibo by email and Amazon's return process. Because the device is simple and cheap to replace, that is a smaller risk than with larger appliances.
Contact us
Contact us
Who should not buy the Sensibo Air PRO?
Chevron down icon
Skip it if your home has chilled-water fan coils or ducted AC with wired thermostats, if you want it to clean the air rather than measure it, or if you need dust readings. If you only want app and voice control of a split, the regular Sensibo Air is enough.
