Learning remote controls (e.g., Air Conditioner)

The RM Pro can learn any device's remote control signals. To add a remote, select the device type (e.g., 'Air Conditioner') and the RM Pro will enter learning mode.

Note: The device must operate on 433MHz, 38KHz Infrared, or 315MHz frequencies. Some regions may have regulations affecting 315MHz compatibility.

Steps to learn:

1. Point the original remote control at the RM Pro.
2. Press a button on the original remote (e.g., 'On/Off' for an air conditioner).
3. The app will attempt to learn the signal. Once learned, the RM Pro will find the appropriate control skin.

Creating a User-Defined Remote

For devices not found in the templates, you can create a custom remote skin:

1. Select the 'User-Defined' option.
2. Choose 'Sort in random' or 'Sort in order' to arrange buttons.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to name the remote, assign icons, take pictures, or upload images for buttons.
4. Learn individual button signals by pointing the original remote at the RM Pro and pressing the desired button.

Setup Troubleshooting

Refer to the following for common issues:

Wi-Fi light is flashing quickly

Indicates the RM Pro is in its original factory state and ready for configuration.

Wi-Fi light is flashing slowly

If the Wi-Fi light flashes slowly (4 flashes, 1-second pause, repeats), the RM Pro is waiting for configuration. Press the '+' icon and select 'Add device' in the app.

Wi-Fi light is flashing very slowly

If the Wi-Fi light flashes once every 3 seconds, the RM Pro has not connected to the Wi-Fi. Check your Wi-Fi network status.

Wi-Fi light is flashing slowly and continuously

If the Wi-Fi light flashes continuously (1 flash per second), the configuration has failed. Reset the RM Pro and try configuring it again.

How to protect my device and prevent others finding it?

Connect only to your trusted home Wi-Fi router. You can then lock your device from the 'Device Info' screen to prevent unauthorized control by others on the network.
