Get Mini Split Systems Control at Your Fingertips!
Indoor temperature control keeps you cool during the sweltering summer months and warm during frigid winters. It also allows you to create ideal indoor atmospheres within your home. Human bodies thermoregulate to ensure their internal systems operate optimally. Too much exposure to heat or extremely cold temperatures affects a person’s body and potentially leads to various health concerns. Adding temperature control mechanisms within your home makes sure you create healthy and comfortable atmospheres that cater to your preferences and needs.
Mini-splits’ dual heating and cooling functionality make them a year-round perk for all homes, and reigns as the selling point for many people. On top of their temperature control ability, mini-split ACs offer a range of other benefits, from maximized indoor comfort to energy efficiency. Mini-splits double their perks and abilities when paired with various accessories, offering more benefits to reap. One major add-on to mini-split systems is phone control and Wi-Fi compatibility. Here is how to control your mini split system with your phone to further maximize your AC unit’s features.
Benefits of Phone Control
Like other SMART technology made for home improvements, you can control and manage your mini-split with a touch of a button on your smartphone. Connecting your phone to your mini-split adds to the long list of existing advantages of using a mini-split system. Many of the added benefits of phone control improve your user experience, creating easier and more efficient control mechanisms.
Remote Control Access
Most AC systems allow you to control temperature and settings with a remote controller or thermostat. Connecting your phone to your mini-split gives you remote control access, like a remote controller, but with the added abilities similar to a thermostat device. Phone control allows you to monitor and change temperatures, set timers, track usage and energy efficiency, and select blow strengths. Plus, it broadens the range of control access. Instead of being within a certain distance of the unit in order to control the AC’s settings, as long you stay connected to Wi-Fi, you can access your mini-split from anywhere within your home.
Eliminates Remotes
No matter the type of controller, whether it’s a remote for your tv, radio system, or mini-split, remote controllers often break and get lost easily. Phone control eliminates the need for remotes, saving you time and money spent on buying a new controller or looking for one you lost to the abyss of missing things. Phones are already a huge part of your life, giving you various abilities that enhance your daily routine, from phone calls to navigation. Adding mini-split control to your phone’s features adds another beneficial ability to your device and maximizes your phone’s one-stop shop functionality.
How Do Wi-Fi and Phone Compatible Mini-Splits Work?
Wi-Fi and phone-compatible mini-splits use internet connection to transfer data and control access between multiple devices. Most mini-split systems require split AC installation accessories to gain Wi-Fi and phone control abilities. Once set up with the right accessory, mini-splits can connect to your local router and become available to other devices on the network and through an associated phone application.
Wi-Fi Adaptable Mini-Split Units
As of now, there are two main types of Wi-Fi mini-splits. The first type includes units with integrated radio frequency modulators. The other type includes USB Wi-Fi module compatibility that pairs with a specific control app.
