To suppress degradation of detection performance of an indoor state detection sensor unit of an air-conditioning indoor unit, and to suppress a problem occurring in the indoor condition detection sensor unit due to blown-out air flow.SOLUTION: A casing has an outer surface exposed to an indoor space. An indoor state detection sensor unit is disposed in the casing. The indoor state detection sensor unit is switchably constituted to take a second state in which a detection portion is projected to an outer side of the outer surface of the casing, and a first state in which the detection portion is retracted to an inner side of the outer surface of the casing. The indoor state detection sensor unit detects a state of the indoor space by using information taken by the detection portion in the second state. The indoor state detection sensor unit takes the first state in which the detection portion is positioned in a blown-out airflow space FS1 where air blown out from a blowout opening 17 flows, and the first state in which the detection portion is not positioned in the blown-out airflow space FS1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】空調室内機の室内状態検知センサユニットの検知性能低下を抑制するとともに、吹出し気流によって室内状態検知センサユニットに生じる不具合を抑制する。【解決手段】ケーシングは、室内空間に露出した外表面を有する。室内状態検知センサユニットは、ケーシングに設置される。室内状態検知センサユニットは、ケーシングの外表面の外側に検知部が突出した第２状態とケーシングの外表面の内側に検知部が入り込んだ第１状態とを取り得るように切換可能に構成されている。室内状態検知センサユニットは、第２状態のときに検知部で取り込んだ情報を使って室内空間の状態を検知する。室内状態検知センサユニットは、運転時に、吹出開口１７から吹出された空気が流れる吹出し気流空間ＦＳ１の中に検知部が位置する第２状態と、吹出し気流空間ＦＳ１の中に検知部が位置しない第１状態とを取る。【選択図】図６
