What Is Wi-Fi DigiSmart in a Hisense Air Conditioner?
If you're looking at Hisense split system air conditioners, you may have come across the term "Wi-Fi DigiSmart" or "DigiSmart" in the product specifications. This article explains what DigiSmart means, what it allows you to do, and whether it's a feature worth looking for.
What Is DigiSmart?
DigiSmart is Hisense's smart home connectivity platform for their home appliances, including their split system air conditioners. On an air conditioner, DigiSmart means the unit has built-in Wi-Fi that connects it to your home network, enabling smartphone control and smart home integration.
What Can You Do with DigiSmart?
Smartphone App Control
Hisense's DigiSmart-enabled air conditioners are controlled via the HiSmart app (available on iOS and Android). Through the app, you can:
- Turn the unit on or off remotely
- Set the target temperature
- Change operating mode (cool, heat, fan, dry, auto)
- Adjust fan speed
- Set a weekly schedule — for example, have the bedroom unit switch on 30 minutes before you go to sleep each night
- Set timers
- Monitor energy use on compatible models
Voice Control
Hisense DigiSmart air conditioners are compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Once linked, you can control the unit with voice commands:
- "Hey Google, set the living room to 22 degrees"
- "Alexa, turn off the bedroom air conditioner"
Remote Access from Anywhere
Because control is via the internet (not just local Wi-Fi), you can control the unit from anywhere with a phone signal. This means you can turn on the air conditioner on the way home so the room is comfortable when you arrive, or turn it off if you forgot before leaving.
How to Set Up DigiSmart
- Download the HiSmart app from the App Store or Google Play
- Create a Hisense account or sign in
- Put the air conditioner in pairing mode (follow the instructions in the manual — usually pressing and holding a button on the indoor unit or remote)
- Follow the in-app setup to connect the unit to your home Wi-Fi network
- Name the device (e.g. "Living Room AC") for easy identification
Is DigiSmart Worth Having?
Smart control is a genuinely useful feature for most households. The ability to turn an air conditioner on before you arrive home, set schedules for automatic operation, and control it by voice are all practical benefits that most users find valuable. If you're choosing between a Hisense model with and without DigiSmart at a similar price, the smart model is worth choosing.
