YOUR AC, FULLY UNDER CONTROL – Set the exact temperature you want, one degree at a time – Switch operating modes: cooling, heating, fan, dry, auto – Three fan speeds: low, medium, high – Swing control, vertical and horizontal – Timer, so the unit shuts itself off after you fall asleep – Current room temperature right on the main dial – Celsius or Fahrenheit, whichever one you actually think in AI THAT EARNS ITS PLACE – Scene of the day: the app reads today's local forecast and suggests a setting you apply in one tap – Quick presets for Night, Morning, Away, Eco, Boost and Quiet - tune them once, use them all season – Smart reminders: a nudge before bed, a heads-up when a hot day is coming, a note when the AC has been running for hours – Filter maintenance: the app counts the days since your last clean, so you stop guessing – A Home Screen widget with today's recommendation and the outdoor forecast IT RUNS WHILE THE APP IS CLOSED Hand it over to Shortcuts and let your AC follow your day. Night scene at 11 PM. Morning scene when your alarm goes off. Pre-cool the room the moment your phone joins your home Wi-Fi. YOUR TV, SAME APP Switch to the TV tab for a full remote: D-pad with OK, back and home, volume and channel, mute, and media keys for play, pause and skip. The app finds your TV on the same network. SET UP IN ABOUT A MINUTE Open the app and it scans your Wi-Fi. Pick your unit from the list, tap Connect, and you are controlling it. Most models answer in around 30 seconds. WI-FI, NOT INFRARED - WHAT THAT MEANS This app controls Wi-Fi-enabled air conditioners and smart TVs that sit on the same network as your iPhone. It does not use an IR blaster, so it cannot reach older units that only accept an infrared signal. Check that your unit connects to Wi-Fi before you subscribe. Your remote is on the coffee table. Your phone is already in your pocket. Download Universal AC Remote Control AI and control the room from where you are sitting.
