Sensibo is a technology company.
Sensibo develops smart climate technology, offering intelligent controllers for air conditioning units. Its product line integrates with existing AC systems, transforming them into smart devices with remote control, scheduling, and energy optimization. The company’s approach connects these units to a centralized AI-based operating system, bridging the sensing and connectivity gap in traditional HVAC infrastructure.
Sensibo was founded in November 2013 by Ran Roth and Omer Enbar. Their insight stemmed from recognizing the inefficiency and lack of smart control in conventional air conditioning systems. With an ambition to address climate challenges, Roth and Enbar aimed to provide consumers with an accessible solution for managing indoor climate more effectively.
Sensibo’s products serve global consumers seeking enhanced home climate control, improved energy efficiency, and better air quality. The company envisions becoming a leading consumer brand for indoor climate and air quality solutions. It is dedicated to developing impactful climate technology, empowering users to create healthier and more comfortable living environments.
Sensibo has raised $3.2M across 2 funding rounds.

Sensibo is a private technology company specializing in smart home climate control solutions, transforming existing air conditioners and heat pumps into connected devices via controllers like Sensibo Sky, Air Pro, and Pure.[1][4][6] It serves homeowners, offices, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues by solving key problems in indoor climate management: energy inefficiency from legacy HVAC systems (which account for 25% of global energy use), poor air quality, and lack of remote/smart control.[2][4][5] Growth momentum includes global retail expansion (e.g., major US retailers in 2020), successful crowdfunding in 2015 shipping thousands of units worldwide, product generations with AI integration (e.g., ChatGPT-powered AI Assistant recognized in 2024 awards), and billions of daily climate data points processed for optimization.[1][3][5]
Sensibo originated as a pet project sparked by co-founder Omer Enbar's 2013 conversation on climate change and air conditioners' CO2 impact, leading him to team up with Ran Roth.[1][4] The duo built and tested prototypes on friends and family before officially co-founding the company in November 2013 (with formal launch via 2014 crowdfunding).[1][4] Early traction came from the 2015 Sensibo Sky launch post-crowdfunding success, IFTTT integration, and international distribution; by 2017, the second-generation Sky added scheduling, geofencing, and voice assistant support.[1]
Sensibo stands out in smart HVAC through these key strengths:
Sensibo rides the smart home and sustainability megatrends, capitalizing on rising demand for energy-efficient HVAC amid climate change pressures—HVAC contributes 25% to global energy use and significant CO2.[4][5] Timing aligns with AI proliferation (e.g., ChatGPT integration for predictive control) and post-pandemic air quality awareness, amplified by smart home adoption (e.g., voice assistants, IoT).[3][6] Market forces like regulatory pushes for green tech and consumer shifts to remote/automated living favor it; Sensibo influences the ecosystem by aggregating vast climate data for broader AI learning, enabling healthier indoor spaces in homes/offices, and bridging legacy hardware to modern digital transformation.[2][3][4]
Sensibo is poised to dominate as the "central intelligence" for indoor climates, expanding AI features, Airbend enterprise tools, and purifier lines amid escalating sustainability mandates.[3][4] Trends like edge AI, deeper IoT interoperability, and carbon-tracking regulations will propel growth, potentially through partnerships or acquisitions in proptech/healthtech. Its data moat and retrofit model position it to scale influence, turning billions of HVAC units worldwide into efficient, health-focused networks—reinforcing its mission to combat climate challenges while delivering comfy, cost-saving homes from day one.[1][4][6]
Sensibo has raised $3.2M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $3.0M Seed in September 2016.
