Midea's AC units are also compatible with the MideaAir app which brings cloud-based control to any smartphone or tablet in and out of the home or business.

The new SmartCool series is also Energy Star® certified with its built-in EnergySave feature, users can further conserve energy and in turn save money on utility bills.
