Universal Smart Mini Split WiFi Enabling Remote Control

I had someone set it up for me but it wasn't easy. Once it did get installed and working it dropped off and wouldn't reconnect. I just about tossed it. So far, this time around it is working as it should. I find it very handy to manage the house temp while away.

Did not work. Very poor tech support

Paired easily but instructions do not tell you how to switch temp from C to F

Only works with Celsius

My original Mitsubishi Mini-Split system was not a WIFI system. I wanted to be able to control my system from my phone when out of state. The manufacturer had an option available to convert my mini-split to wireless for more money. So, this was a nice solution at a lower price. The programming was pretty easy...just make sure you have the remote sitting in the dock when setting it up. Otherwise, it won't connect. Linking the remote to your manufacture is very much like linking a universal remote to your TV. Also, the remote must be placed in the docking station to be connected to your phone. Setting up the WIFI is similar to most other devices you connect to your network. As mentioned, the remote must be docked for the initial linking of your phone to the remote for things to work. The remote itself is Celsius only...but the app on your phone can be Fahrenheit or Celsius just by sliding icon setting. I noticed others mentioned it is Celsius only...and that appears to be correct for the remote...but, your phone app has the option of either. It is also important to remember that the remote/docking station must be pointed at your Mini-Split to work with your phone. I had mine just sitting on a counter and I had to point and tilt it toward the mini-split...not in the typical upright position. I suppose it would be fine if it were situated under or very close to the Mini-split. Unlike the WIFI thermostats that are common in your home, to my knowledge this does not show the actual air temp or humidity level. You can set or change the temperature and even a timer to run your system. You can also change the modes from heat to AC to dry and so forth. I haven't played with it much yet...so, maybe there is something I am missing regarding reading the actual air temperature. My original remote does not show the actual temperature or humidity levels either. Since most mini-split systems have a dry or dehumidify setting, it would be nice to have a specific humidity setting. I have the system in my garage and plan on using separate wireless device that will communicate the temp and humidity to my phone to overcome that issue. Lastly, the fan setting doesn't appear to work correctly with my system. I might work fine with other systems. Overall, I feel this serves a purpose and probably works just as well as the WIFI option that can be purchased as an option for my system. If you need a new remote or want to convert your system to something that works with your phone this is a great option.
