The invention provides an air conditioning control method and device and an air conditioner. The method comprises the steps that the indoor light intensity mean, the indoor light change frequency meanand the indoor sound intensity mean are obtained every other preset time interval; and the operating modes of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the light intensity mean, the light changefrequency mean and the sound intensity mean. The method provided by the invention is not just based on the light intensity, in addition, the light intensity change frequency and the sound intensity are adopted as the basis of adjusting the operating modes of the air conditioner, the light intensity mean, the light change frequency mean and the sound intensity mean are compared with corresponding threshold values, thus, the different modes are set, modulation of the different modes is conducted according to the comparative result, and control over the air conditioner is more intelligent, precise and humanized. By adopting the multiple criterions, control is more accurate, the intelligent level of the air conditioner is improved, control operations of a user are decreased, and the using comfort level of the user can be improved.
