The present invention discloses an air conditioner control method and device, and relates to the technical field of smart home. The method includes that: a turning-on remote control signal sent by an air conditioner socket is received, wherein the turning-on remote control signal is a signal generated and sent by the air conditioner socket after it is determined that an air conditioner is turned on, and the turning-on remote control signal contains an identifier of the air conditioner socket; whether a rapid working mode of the air conditioner is in an enabled state or not is queried according to the identifier of the air conditioner socket; and if the rapid working mode of the air conditioner is in the enabled state, a first remote control signal is sent to the air conditioner socket, the first remote control signal being configured to instruct the air conditioner socket to control the air conditioner to run with a working parameter of the rapid working mode. According to the present invention, the problem of low enabling efficiency of the rapid working mode of the air conditioner every time when a user manually enables the rapid working mode of the air conditioner is solved, and the enabling efficiency of the rapid working mode of the air conditioner is improved.
