Kept here as part of our design record. https://iemilabs.com/build/airmate-build-package https://iemilabs.com/build/airmate-build-package Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Early design study: the AirMate IR build package, with a $75 parts list per breadboard set, the pin map, a 3D-printable enclosure, ESPHome firmware with the presence rules, the presence-model pipeline and an app you can try. https://iemilabs.com/build/airmate-compact-central-control https://iemilabs.com/build/airmate-compact-central-control Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Early design study: the AirMate IR enclosure shrinks from 70 × 70 × 25 mm to 48 × 48 × 20 mm so it sits quietly below each AC, and the app gains an All rooms screen to control every unit together. https://iemilabs.com/build/why-airmate-ir-first https://iemilabs.com/build/why-airmate-ir-first Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Early design study: we scored eight of our concepts on speed, risk, market, competition and fit for online sales, and AirMate IR scored highest. It became our first design study; since then, market research has moved us to one flagship per sport and per industry.
