5. Expert advice and precautions
1. When setting up for the first time, it is recommended to connect the mobile phone and the air conditioner to the same 2.4GHz network (most do not support 5GHz).
2. When not in use for a long time, you can turn off the air conditioner Wi-Fi module to save standby power consumption (about 3-5W/day).
3. When the firmware update fails, you can try to reset the module (usually press and hold the Wi-Fi button for more than 5 seconds).
4. The remote control distance is theoretically unlimited, but in practice it is affected by the quality of the home network. It is recommended to give priority to ensuring the stability of the router.
5. Some brands (such as Gree) need to enable the Wi-Fi function on the body panel before the device can be searched for in the APP.
With the development of Internet of Things technology, wireless control of air conditioners is changing from "icing on the cake" to "rigidly needed function". It is recommended that consumers pay attention to the device's protocol compatibility (whether it supports mainstream smart home platforms) and subsequent firmware update capabilities when purchasing to obtain a more lasting experience.
