Add a fixed remote control
This method allows adding control for common appliances like air conditioners, TVs, and set-top boxes using a pre-existing code database. It is quick but may not guarantee 100% control for all devices, as compatibility depends on the infrared remote control data available.
App screenshots show the process of selecting an appliance type (e.g., 'Air Conditioner'), searching for a brand, and adding a remote control.
Network reset (Compatibility mode)
For compatibility mode reset:
- Press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds. The indicator light will flash blue, entering the flashing state.
- Press and hold the reset button again for more than 5 seconds to enter slow flash mode.
- Follow the app instructions to add the equipment.
App screenshots show the 'AP Mode' for device connection and the 'Confirm indicator rapidly blink' step.
DIY Function
If the desired appliance remote control is not found via the previous methods, you can use the learning function (DIY) to enable smart remote control capabilities.
- When infrared signals are emitted, the indicator light flashes to show normal operation.
- The infrared emitter is located above the indicator light. When learning (DIY), point the original remote control approximately 3cm away from the device's indicator area.
- During DIY learning, the indicator light remains on. It turns off upon successful detection of a signal.
*Note: This version supports 38k bit rate signal learning only. If commands are not accepted, the electric remote control's code rate may not match. To ensure successful learning, do not press the electric remote control to send a signal to the smart remote control; instead, perform a short press.
