Step T32, the air conditioner 200 receives the priority command sent by the controller 100, and sets its own priority according to the received priority command;
in step T33, the air conditioner 200 reads the location information of the overlapping area from the first memory 210, generates second query information for querying the priority and the identification information of the other air conditioners corresponding to the overlapping area according to the location information of the overlapping area, and sends the second query information to the controller 100.
In step T34, the controller 100 generates a second reply message according to the second query message, and sends the second reply message to the air conditioner 200, where the second reply message includes the priority and the identification information of the other air conditioners.
And step T35, the air conditioner 200 determines an air conditioner with a higher priority than itself according to its priority and the priorities and identification information of the other air conditioners, and sends third query information for querying whether the air conditioner with the higher priority is started or not to the air conditioner with the higher priority than itself, so that the air conditioner 200 with the higher priority that is started to operate generates third reply information according to the third query information and sends the third reply information to the air conditioner 200.
In step T36, after the controller 100 sends the third query message to the air conditioner with higher priority than itself, it is determined whether the third reply message sent by the air conditioner with higher priority is received within a predetermined time. If any third reply message sent by any air conditioner with high priority is received within the preset time, executing the step T37; otherwise, step T38 is executed directly.
Step T37, the air conditioner 200 does not sweep the overlapping area;
in step T38, the air conditioner 200 performs air sweeping on the overlap area.
In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning system and a control method thereof. The air conditioning system comprises the air conditioner 200 and a controller 100 which is in communication connection with the air conditioner 200. The controller 100 contains the priority that corresponds with air conditioner 200 in the priority instruction, air conditioner 200 receives the priority instruction that controller 100 sent sets up self priority according to receiving the priority instruction to judge whether to act on the overlap region that corresponds with self according to self priority and the priority of other air conditioners, avoided a plurality of air conditioner 200 acts on simultaneously overlap region has realized a plurality of air conditioner 200 carries out unified rationalization control.
