Text your lost Android phone to turn the ringer volume up 100%
How this automation works
Receive a text alert whenever your GE Appliances Window AC is set to fan-only mode. This applet automatically sends an SMS from your Android phone to keep you informed when cooling stops. Useful for knowing when the AC isn’t actively cooling, such as while away from home. Customize the message to fit your tone.
