Recently got a window AC for my bedroom. It's presently using its automatic 'eco' mode, which seems to turn on around ~75 degrees F and off around ~72 degrees F.
This seems a touch excessive to me, as it seems to be on more than off.
If anyone is looking for a recommendation I’ve been using sonoff s31’s for my ac unit and gaming pc’s. They track power and can easily be flashed with tasmota so you don’t need to deal with any cloud bs
Not sure about S31, but I have a couple or TH16s (rated at 16A/~3500W), and I've read a bunch of reviews where the units can't handle the rated power and burn up. To be on the safe side, I connected it to a contactor instead of wiring directly to an appliance.
I've got the same in my shop attached to an oil heater to remotely warm it up in winter
This one has two plugs which can be activated independently, is outdoor rated, and was able to be re-flashed with Tasmota. IIRC it was rated for 15A so should be able to handle an AC unit
