Control Your Home From Anywhere with the Hisense ConnectLife Smart Home App

We've all been there. You're halfway to work and suddenly you're not sure whether you left the air con running. Or you're standing in the supermarket aisle trying to remember if you actually need milk this week. Perhaps it's Sunday evening and you've just remembered the load of washing you started four hours ago is still sitting in the drum, damp and waiting. These are small moments, but they add up in a busy household! 

That's exactly the kind of thing the Hisense ConnectLife app was built to solve. Free to download on iOS and Android, ConnectLife puts real-time control of compatible Hisense appliances right in your pocket, wherever you are and whatever time it is. Think this could be the missing piece in your daily routine? Our handy Hisense guide walks you through what the ConnectLife app does and which appliances it works with, so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your household.  

What is The Hisense ConnectLife App? 

ConnectLife launched as Hisense's unified smart home platform and was designed to bring together compatible appliances and smart devices in the one place. The core promise is to allow Australian households to monitor, control and automate their home appliances from anywhere.  

The four main features of the ConnectLife smart home system are: 

• Monitor: Check the status of your appliances at any time
• Control: Adjust the settings of your appliances remotely
• Automate: Set daily schedules and routines that work with your schedule
• Manage: Track energy usage, get maintenance alerts and access support in-app 

So, whether you're on the couch, in the car, at the office or heading off on holiday, the Hisense ConnectLife smart home system allows you to take control of your home and its appliances at the touch of a button. Plus, it’s free to download and use, transforming your property into a smart home instantly without the hefty price tag!

What Can You Control with Hisense ConnectLife? 

The ConnectLife system works across compatible Hisense appliances and a wide selection of associated brands. With a range of smart home appliances for every room from the kitchen to the laundry, the living room and beyond, Hisense makes it simple to upgrade your home. Here's a room-by-room breakdown and how ConnectLife can automate your household: 

A Smarter Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home and most easily the busiest room in the house, making it the space where things are most likely to go wrong at the worst possible time. Whether it's a fridge that's been left slightly ajar, a dishwasher cycle you can't remember starting or a roast you want on before you leave work, the ConnectLife smart home system gives you control over your Hisense kitchen appliances without having to be in the room...or even in the house! 

Smart Fridges For Seamless Living 

Hisense ConnectLife keeps you one step ahead of your own fridge, allowing you to adjust temperatures for the fridge and freezer compartments directly from the app. Perfect for daily use and extra handy for entertainers when you want to flick on Super Freeze before guests arrive! 

The ConnectLife app also lets you monitor your fridge’s energy usage and receive alerts if something’s not quite right, which is genuinely handy if you're heading away and want peace of mind that your fridge is running as it should. But that’s just the start, as compatible smart fridges can also handle food management, suggest recipes and guide meal prep in sync with other appliances around your home.  

Smart Dishwashers For Simple Clean-Ups 

If the kitchen is at the other end of the house, you’re locked in at the home office or you're out when the dishwasher cycle finishes, you'll appreciate being notified the moment it's done. Compatible Hisense dishwashers can automatically pop the door open at the end of a dishwasher run to help dishes dry faster. Talk about handy! 

The smart cycle selection is another practical feature that comes with the Hisense ConnectLife system. The app can suggest optimal wash settings based on load type, which reduces energy and water use per cycle without you having to think about it. Hisense's Series 9 AI Super Wash Technology takes it further, with sensors estimating load size and soil levels to automatically adjust detergent volume, water temperature and cycle duration.

Never Forget a Wash Cycle Again

Doing the laundry has a funny way of becoming everyone's lowest priority right up until it isn't. Hisense’s ConnectLife smart laundry system can take the guesswork and forgetfulness out of the equation, giving you real-time updates on where your laundry is at. This allows you to time your washing cycles around your day, not the other way around! 

Smart Washing Machines That Keep Laundry Day Under Control

The damp clothes-in-the-drum scenario is practically a household tradition at this point. ConnectLife puts an end to this with cycle completion notifications. So, you can put on a cycle, go about your day and get notified instantly as soon as the load of washing is completed.  

If you always forget to hit start on your washing or simply want to stay on top of the laundry, you can also tackle this through the app. Simple load your washing machine before you leave home and time it to finish as soon as you walk through the front door.  

Smart load optimisation will also adjust the water level, cycle length and detergent amount based on load size and fabric type, so you get better results with less guesswork. For Australian households running on a tight schedule, having a washing machine that communicates with you is a real quality-of-life upgrade for your entire family.  

Smart Dryers For Instant Insight Into Every Cycle 

For those looking for an all-in-one laundry smart appliance, the WashDry Sync feature of Hisense's washer and dryer models is a genuine gamechanger. When compatible models are connected, once a load of washing is done the dryer can automatically select the best dryer programme and drop the clean clothes into the dryer below. No manual input and no transferring clothes between machines – it's all available and in your control through the ConnectLife app. Combine that with cycle completion notifications from your dryer, and the two appliances run the laundry for you! It's the complete laundry smart automation package.

Comfort From The Moment You Walk Through The Door 

There’s truly nothing worse than coming home to a house that's far too hot or too chilly! The ConnectLife smart home system lets you sort it before you even pull into the driveway, so your home is already comfortable by the time you walk through the door. 

Smart Air Conditioners That Keep Every Room Comfortable 

With Hisense ConnectLife, you can switch on the air conditioner remotely before you leave the office. Think crisp air-conditioning waiting for you in summer and warm living room to come home to in winter. No more walking into a hot house or running it all day when nobody's home!  

Outside of this, the ConnectLife smart home app can also adjust temperature readings based on the physical remote is in the room. Which solves the classic problem of the wall unit measuring temperature at the wrong spot! A smart air conditioner that learns your schedule and responds to occupancy patterns is the kind of thing that makes a real difference to you routine and comfortability at home.

Know What You're Using With Real-Time Energy & Water Monitoring 

ConnectLife isn't just about convenience, it gives you a clear picture of what's actually running in your home. The app tracks weekly, monthly and yearly electricity usage and water consumption across connected appliances. This is a gamechanger and is particularly relevant for Australian households looking to lower their energy bills or be more mindful in their consumption.  

Within the Hisense ConnectLife app, you can also set usage targets and track your progress over time, making it easy to get a better handle on where the power is going. But the efficiency gains aren't separate from the other features as the optimisation settings that ConnectLife automatically selects for laundry and cooking tend to use less water and energy than manual settings. 

Investing in quality smart home appliances is the kind of pay-off that reaps instant returns in a less disruptive way. Home automation doesn't have to mean a full-blown renovation and it can start with just a few connected appliances and an app that keeps tabs on everything.

One App for Your Whole Home 

ConnectLife works with Google Home and is Matter-certified, so it plays nicely with popular smart devices from other brands, not just Hisense appliances. In practice, that means you can set up cross-device automations like smart lights that flash when a wash cycle finishes or the air con adjusting when a sensor detects someone's arrived home. Voice control via Amazon Alexa also adds another layer of hands-free convenience and easy automation to make every day easier.  

Rather than juggling separate apps for separate smart devices, the Hisense ConnectLife smart system gives you one place to manage the home. The ability to connect smart home gadgets from multiple brands in one platform is what turns a collection of appliances into something that works together.
