A few years back, smartphone connectivity in an AC usually meant spending well above the budget. That is not really the case now. Even around the 40,000 mark, there are plenty of split ACs that let you control cooling from your phone, set schedules, check energy usage and even switch the AC on before reaching home. We have also noticed that almost every major brand is pushing these features now instead of keeping them only for expensive models. LG, Haier, Panasonic and Voltas are popular brands and reliable. The trick is finding one that offers useful features without compromising on cooling performance or reliability.
