How Do I Integrate a Sensibo Thermostat with Alarm.com?

Using a Sensibo thermostat with Alarm.com is a server-to-server integration. You will install the Sensibo Air or Sensibo Sky AC controller and set it up using the Sensibo App. Then, in Alarm.com choose to Add Device > Thermostat > Sensibo. Enter the Sensibo App credentials when prompted.

The Sensibo Air and Sensibo Sky AC controllers connect to the customer's WIFI network. They can be used with any air conditioner that supports an infrared (IR) remote control. A Sensibo user will download the Sensibo App, and install the Sensibo Air or Sensibo Sky controller using the instructions provided by the app. The thermostat then gets connected to WIFI and synced with the remote. Finally, make sure the Sensibo device has a good line-of-sight to the HVAC device being controlled. Now, you're ready to integrate with Alarm.com.

Prerequisites:

• Properly installed and set up Sensibo Air or Sensibo Sky AC controller
• Current version of the Sensibo App
• Current version of the Alarm.com customer app
• An Alarm.com account with the Thermostats add-on enabled

Important Note for Android Users: Do not download or install the Sensibo App until after your Sensibo device has been integrated with Alarm.com. This means you will need to do the initial Sensibo integration to Alarm.com using either another device or via browser!
