In an event held in the city of São Paulo, the Samsung presented new air conditioning options for the end of the year. The models WindFree AI e WindFree POWERvolt AI stand out for their artificial intelligence features that help save energy and automatically control the air conditioning of the environment. Learn about each of them.
Artificial intelligence in everyday life
Automatic climate control (AI)
A Samsung highlights that both air conditioning models launched today can improve over time by learning the daily usage habits of their consumers. The models can also analyze the internal and external temperature of the environment so that the best air conditioning is delivered.
On hotter or colder days, the models can also suggest the air temperature so that users have a more comfortable environment. All of this is suggested through the app. SmartThings, where, with a few taps, you can confirm (or not) the suggestion made by AI.
Welcome Cooling (AI)
Through its location, functionality Welcome Cooling (also called Welcome air conditioning) will turn on the air conditioning when it detects that you are arriving home. It will also be useful when you leave the house: as soon as it detects, via your smartphone's GPS, that you are no longer in the air conditioning area, the device will turn off to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
The idea here is to avoid the hassle of having to turn on the air conditioning as soon as you get home and then having to wait a while for the temperature to be ideal. Welcome Cooling allows you to choose the temperature, as well as define the distance from home for it to start.
The artificial intelligence present in WindFree AI understands the consumer's usage patterns, automatically acclimating environments. It also provides the “Welcome Air Conditioning” function, which uses the user's location to understand when they are close to home to pre-acclimatize the environment. If they are leaving, the air conditioning also turns off automatically.
Celio Pascoli, product manager of the air conditioning division at Samsung Brazil.
Good Sleep (AI)
The function good sleep It was designed to provide an ideal sleeping environment, automatically adjusting the temperature and operation of the device throughout the different stages of sleep.
In practice, the room temperature is adapted as the night progresses: at the beginning, the air conditioning Samsung reduces the temperature to help your body relax and fall asleep quickly. Before your scheduled wake-up time, the temperature is gradually increased, creating a cooler, more comfortable environment for you to wake up naturally.
Control energy expenditure in reais with SmartThings Energy (AI)
already about the SmartThings Energy, available in the app SmartThings da Samsung, it is possible to monitor electricity consumption in real time and also have an estimate of expenses in R$. With the use of artificial intelligence, the model can indicate more economical ways for you to spend less and less, without having to reduce your well-being.
The app also allows you to create a consumption limit so that you are always notified when you reach it. A great way to avoid surprises at the end of the month. Samsung highlights that, compared to traditional air conditioning models, those launched today deliver savings of up to 77%.
The product is up to 77% more economical than traditional air conditioners, has an A energy rating, automatically air-conditions rooms and has voice control with Google Assistant and Alexa.

Key Features
The models WindFree AI e WindFree POWERvolt AI da Samsung They stand out both for being economical and for their connectivity. This allows users to make more complete use of the device, but also to manage it without needing the remote control that comes in the box. Let's look at their main features.
Design with new white display
Os WindFree AI e WindFree POWERvolt AI feature a new white R32 display that allows you to see the temperature. Defined by the company as more discreet, it replaces the black display present in the previous generation.
WindFree function
The technology Windfree This economical air conditioner does the air conditioning differently: instead of sending direct jets of hot or cold air into the environment, it consists of, at the touch of a button, dispersing the air-conditioned air through the 23 thousand micro-holes of the device, making the environment even more comfortable without the discomfort of the wind.
The WindFree function of Samsung air conditioners makes the air conditioning experience more pleasant by cooling or heating the room without directing the wind at the user. There are 23 thousand micro-holes dispersed throughout the product to facilitate low-speed air flow.
Daniel Fraianeli, senior manager of the air conditioning division at Samsung Brazil.
Voice control with Google Assistant and Alexa
O WindFree AI and WindFree POWERvolt AI can also be controlled by voice, via personal assistants Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa ou by the Bixby da Samsung. To do this, simply request that the temperature be increased, decreased or that the devices be turned on so that the room's air conditioning begins. They can also be controlled via Galaxy Watch through the app SmartThings of these devices.
Control via the Samsung SmartThings app (Android / iPhone)
The main control center here is the app SmartThings, available for smartphones with Android ou iPhone (iOS). In addition to changing modes, temperatures and making other settings, you can monitor your electricity consumption and receive usage tips in this app. It is worth remembering that, to use all the functions, you need to log in to your Samsung account.
Both models launched today come with support for 2nd generation Wi-Fi with AI, which allows them to connect to smartphones, tablets, refrigerators and even smart TVs to be controlled by other devices if they are connected to the same network. It is worth remembering that temperature management can also be done through the remote control that comes with the air conditioner.
fast cooling
This is the functionality focused on acclimatizing an environment in a short time. It can reach up to 15 m² in a straight line, with the guarantee of Samsung that the place will be cooled in 43% less time compared to air conditioners from other brands. An interesting function to activate together with the Welcome Cooling, even more so if you install the device in your bedroom or in smaller spaces.
Filter that eliminates 99% of dust and bacteria
Following tradition, the new air conditioners Windfree da Samsung are equipped with high-efficiency filters, designed to provide a healthier, safer and impurity-free environment. These advanced filters eliminate up to 99% of dust and bacteria present in the air, ensuring superior air conditioning quality, whether at home or in the workplace.
Cold or Hot/Cold function
Os WindFree AI They have the capacity to ventilate hot and cold air, this being one of the details that most impacts their final price (difference of R$ 300 in the suggested price). The option is only valid for the 127V option.
Various BTU/h options
For the model WindFree AI, it will be sold in capacities of 9.000, 12.000, 18.000 or 24.000 BTUs. BTUs — an acronym for British Thermal Units (British Thermal Units, in free translation) — are essential when choosing an air conditioner, as they indicate the device's capacity to cool or heat a room. An appropriate calculation guarantees energy efficiency and thermal comfort, avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Already about the WindFree POWERvolt AI, it arrives in Brazil only in the 12.000 BTU option. Yes, it is recommended for medium-sized spaces, such as living rooms, bedrooms or offices that are around 20 to 25 m².
110V/220V dual voltage option (exclusive to WindFree POWERvolt AI)
The big difference between the air conditioning models is the dual voltage. While the WindFree AI only works at 110V, the WindFree POWERVolt AI works with 110V or 220V sockets, making it more resistant to power surges of up to 473V, without impacting efficiency.
This more expensive model has the same AI features, fast cooling, connectivity, and windless function as the cheaper one, however, it only has a capacity of 12.000 BTUs.
Price and availability
