Sensibo is a consumer IoT technology company and producer of smart air conditioning solutions.

History
Sensibo was founded on January 2014 by Omer Enbar and Ran Roth.

The idea originated around 2004 when Omer Enbar had built a personal control system to activate his air conditioner via email prior to biking home from work. The system connected an IR blaster to a laptop that would send a signal to the AC every time he sent an email with the title "AC on" or "AC off".

During 2013, Omer Enbar and Ran Roth manually built and deployed several prototypes to friends and family. They later proceeded to found the company, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Crowdfunding and Video
In May 2014, Sensibo launched a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Its campaign video was later selected by Indiegogo as the funniest pitch video of 2014. The video, created by Tross Media and starring Michael Harpaz, has been often compared to Dollar Shave Club and the TV series House of Cards.

Product Launch
Sensibo delivered on its crowdfunding campaign during the summer of 2015, shipping thousands of units worldwide, according to the company. . On May 2015, Sensibo launched an IFTTT channel, allowing its system to interface with other apps and devices.
