It’s been some time coming.
GE has announced that its AHP08LX air conditioner is now available for purchase. The AHP08LX is GE’s first HomeKit-compatible unit and supports Alexa, Google Home products, and IFTTT in addition to being rated at 8,000 BTUs and Energy Star compliant.
The unit is also the first window air conditioner to be sold in the United States to support HomeKit.
This unit is suited to cool medium-sized rooms (250-350 square feet) and works with GE’s WiFi Connect app in addition to featuring HomeKit support and more. Other features include “4-way air direction, 3 cooling speeds and 3 fan only speeds for optimal performance.” Although you probably won’t need it, the unit comes with a remote control.
At present, the GE AHP08LX is only available at Lowe’s locations for $319. Stock seems to be restricted to online orders as of writing and GE lists the MSRP at $269 instead of $319, but purchasing directly from the manufacturer isn’t possible.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
