Abstract

An air-conditioning control relay device includes a first communication unit that communicates with a communication terminal device, a second communication unit that communicates with an air conditioner, an analysis unit that analyzes first information received by the first communication unit from the communication terminal device, and an operation unit that operates a contact device based on the first information if the analysis unit determines, by analyzing, that the first information is information for operating of the contact device. The first communication unit sends the first information received from the communication terminal device to the second communication unit and to the analysis unit, and the second communication unit sends the first information received from the first communication unit to the air conditioner.
