MOES Smart Universal Remote IR+RF Controller
Troubleshooting Guide
Why MOES's Smart Universal Remote Can't Control the Appliance?
- Network Check: Ensure the network works well in the Smart IR app. Test by touching any button on the app's remote side; if the indicator light works fine, the network is okay.
- Obstacle Check: Verify there are no obstacles between the remote and the appliance within an 8-meter range.
- Control Type Confirmation: Confirm the original remote control uses Infrared (IR). To test: point the remote at the appliance and block the remote's head with your hand or an object. If the appliance doesn't respond, it's IR control. If it still doesn't respond, it might be Bluetooth or radio frequency control.
