Hi,
You can use the Automation IO Service and Profile to control the Air conditioner and Smart plug. Automation IO allows you to send or receive the state of a digital IO or analog IO.
This can be used for On, Off, get the state of a knob etc, so this can be used to turn on/turn off a smart plug or increase/decrease the air conditioning. Automation IO is now a prototyping specification (as of date) and is available to all Bluetooth SIG members.

Is there a Nordic implementation of the Automation IO service? Or do I need to make my own? Thanks!
It is likely to be released as an experimental release in the next version of the SDK.
Fantastic! Is there an estimated timeline for that release?
I see that SDK 10.0 is out now, but I skimmed the documentation and didn't find anything about Automation IO. Did it not make the cut this time?
