Haier Air Box is an indoor air quality detector that can connect air conditioners and purifiers of Haier or any other brands. An accompanying mobile app is able to command those home appliances to do the cleaning when air quality is poor. On the app users also can read data about indoor environment, air quality, temperature and humidity. Another major Chinese home appliance brand Midea has launched a smart air-conditioner, by partnering with China’s e-commerce giant Alibaba. The air-conditioner and future smart appliances by Midea will be controlled through Alibaba’s mobile apps, payment app Alipay Wallet and mobile messaging app Laiwang, according to Alibaba.
