Step 310: Switch an air conditioning operation mode according to a mode switching command sent by the user terminal, where the air conditioning operation mode includes a sensing mode and a constant temperature mode, wherein the sensing mode refers to the air conditioner controlling the air conditioner switching machine by sensing the presence of a person in the indoor environment. The mode of the constant temperature mode refers to a mode in which the air conditioner controls the indoor ambient temperature according to a preset temperature.

Specifically, the user selects an operation mode on a user terminal such as a remote controller or a mobile phone according to his own needs. When the air conditioner needs to be automatically turned off when no one is indoors, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be switched to the induction mode, and when the air conditioner is required to maintain a constant temperature At the same time, the user terminal can switch to the constant temperature mode, and the user terminal sends a mode switching command to the server through the communication transmission channel established between the Internet of Things access gateway and the Internet of Things service gateway introduced in the above embodiment.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, when the air conditioning operation mode is the sensing mode, generating an instruction according to the sensing mode specifically includes:

Step 410, sensing whether someone exists in the indoor environment.

Specifically, a thermal infrared human body sensor can be used to sense whether there is a person in the indoor environment. When a person enters the sensing range of the thermal infrared human body sensor, the thermal infrared human body sensor sends an electrical signal to the server.

In step 420, when a person in the indoor environment is sensed, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on, otherwise the air conditioner is turned off.

Specifically, when a person in the indoor environment is sensed, that is, the air conditioner needs to be used at this time, the server controls the air conditioner to be turned on, and conversely, the air conditioner is not required at this time, so the server controls the air conditioner to be turned off, thereby saving Electrical energy.

Step 510, sensing whether someone exists in the indoor environment.

In step 520, when the person in the indoor environment is sensed, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on.

Specifically, when a person in the indoor environment is sensed, that is, an air conditioner needs to be used at this time, the server controls the air conditioner to be turned on.

Step 530: When it is sensed that the first preset duration is reached after no one in the indoor environment is reached, the confirmation request is sent to the user terminal, and the confirmation request is used to confirm whether to turn off the air conditioner.

Specifically, when the user is outside the sensing range of the thermal infrared human body sensor, the user may no longer need to use the air conditioner, or may just leave temporarily, and may need to use the air conditioner. Therefore, when no one is sensed in the indoor environment When the first preset duration is reached, that is, after the user leaves the sensing range for a period of time, the server sends a confirmation request to the user terminal through the communication transmission channel established between the Internet of Things access gateway and the Internet of Things service gateway introduced in the foregoing embodiment. The user confirms whether to turn off the air conditioner. Here, the first preset duration is set, which prevents the user from entering or leaving the sensing range for a short time, causing the server to control the air conditioner switching machine, which can reduce the noise of the air conditioner switching machine, improve the service life of the air conditioner, and improve the user experience.

Step 540: When receiving the confirmation information sent by the user terminal within the second preset time period after sending the confirmation request, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on or off according to the confirmation information, otherwise the air conditioner is turned off.

Specifically, the user sends a confirmation message of turning off the air conditioner or not turning off the air conditioner to the server through the user terminal, and when the server receives the confirmation information of turning off the air conditioner sent by the user terminal within the second preset time period after sending the confirmation request to the user terminal, Then, the air conditioner is turned off, and when the confirmation message that the air conditioner is not turned off is received, the air conditioner is kept in the power on state.

The temperature device tries to obtain the current temperature value of the indoor environment, compares the current temperature value of the indoor environment with a preset temperature value, and determines whether the current temperature value of the indoor environment is greater than a preset temperature value. When the current temperature value of the indoor environment is greater than the preset temperature value, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment is high at this time, and the server controls the air conditioner to perform cooling, and reduces the temperature of the indoor environment to a preset temperature value. When the current temperature value of the indoor environment is less than the preset temperature value, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment is low at this time, and the server controls the air conditioner to perform heating, so that the temperature of the indoor environment rises to a preset temperature value. When the current temperature value of the indoor environment is equal to the preset temperature value, the server controls the air conditioner to stop running.

The air conditioner control method in the constant temperature mode provided by the embodiment of the invention can ensure that the temperature of the indoor environment is always maintained at a preset temperature when the constant temperature mode is adopted by using the preset temperature value. For example, in the summer, even if the user adjusts the temperature of the air conditioner below the preset temperature value, as long as the temperature is switched to the constant temperature mode, the air conditioner can only lower the temperature to a preset temperature value, thereby avoiding the user setting the temperature. Too low to cause energy waste. Similarly, in the winter, even if the user jumps the temperature of the air conditioner to a preset temperature value, as long as the temperature is switched to the constant temperature mode, the air conditioner can only raise the temperature to a preset temperature value, thereby avoiding the temperature due to the user. The problem is that the energy is too high and the energy is wasted.
