At aerMist LLC, we live by the slogan “a smarter way to stay cool”. A range of our high pressure misting systems enable our customers to enjoy their outdoor patios despite the hot weather, mosquitos, and flies. Our high pressure misting systems turn water into super tiny droplets which then cool surrounding air through evaporative cooling. Our systems can also be set to saturate the air with these tiny droplets to create a fog effect, thus reducing flies and mosquitos while also creating cool landscape and pool fog effects, or to reduce dust and odor from surrounding air. This APP enables full control of our high pressure misting systems through mobile Bluetooth with advanced features such as full ON/OFF control of the misters, placing misters into interval mode (modulating misting), and allowing users to set a Schedule when to run misting based on days of the week and time intervals. Through global control screen, this APP enables users to control 4 separate misting systems at once. Up to 4 systems can be controlled at once. Use Add Device screen to register misters with the device. Each mister can be given a meaningful name, such as “patio mister” , “pool fog effects”, etc. Each mister can be controlled individually through “Devices” menu, or, all registered misters can be controlled with a single press of a button through Global “Home” control screen. Individual device control screen will display additional information about a mister, such as current status, cumulative running hours, and water filter hours. APP allows users to place aerMist misters into 3 distinct operational modes: non-stop, interval, and schedule misting. Non-stop misting will turn ON and run the mister in non-stop mode. Mist will be continuous until user turns the mister OFF Interval misting will allow user to modulate misting, in another words, tell the mister to run misting for set amount of time, then pause (turn OFF) misting for set amount of time, and repeat until user completely turns it off. Mist modulation is useful on days when evaporative capacity of air is lower than what the system puts out and prevents over saturation of air with humidity and thus wetting of surrounding area. It also allows a user to set the amount of desired “fog” effect and enables installation of mist nozzles closer to the occupied areas, where cooling is needed, instead of only running nozzles along outer edges. Schedule misting will allow a user to create a schedule when misting can run automatically. Schedule command is saved locally on the mister and does not require a presence of mobile device to run and keep scheduled misting. The user can select days of the week and also further refine schedule with up to 4 time intervals when misting should run. Schedule function can be set to run as non-stop or interval misting during selected days and/or time intervals. Running hours will show cumulative running hours for each mister that can be used to schedule required maintenance. This data is directly available from the mister itself. Filter hours tracks use of water filter. This data is only tracked by the app and to be accurate, requires that the user resets filter in the app each time water filter is replaced. Each time filter is reset, the app will remember cumulative running hours and use that number to calculate for how many hours has the water filter been used since the last replacement (filter reset).
