Stop searching for the remote. Make use of the technology at your disposal. A smartphone or tablet may be used as a remote control for your TV, set-top box, entertainment system, smart appliances, and air conditioner. All you need is the right app and some expertise. In this post, we will show you how to operate your air conditioner using your smartphone. Let's get started:
Make Use of Your Infrared (IR) Blaster
Many Android phones come with an infrared "blaster," which is comparable to the technology used in antique remote controllers. To operate any air conditioner that receives an IR signal with your phone, just download a universal remote app such as IR Universal Remote or Galaxy Universal Remote.
How to Use Your Phone to Control Your Air Conditioner
To begin, you must choose a smart air conditioning controller app that is compatible with your smartphone. The Google Play Store has a plethora of possibilities. So it's critical to consider your AC unit and what characteristics are most essential to you.
Step 1: Check to see which remote control applications work with your air conditioner. Some brands have their own exclusive applications, and some air conditioner types may only be operated with specific apps.
Step 2: Then, install a universal app on your mobile phone from Play Store.
Step 3: Go to the app’s home page. You should be able to control things like fan speeds, temperature, and integrity checks from the app’s home screen.
Step 4: To ensure that your AC has the most recent firmware installed, use the app to check for important software updates.
Step 5: Learn about the features that the app already has built-in. If you want the air conditioner to cool to a particular degree depending on whether you’re at home, asleep, or away, you should be able to put a timer on it or make a schedule using the app. You can also see if your AC is compatible with Alexa for a more streamlined experience.
