By Ramy, 5 June, 2022

iOS and iPadOS

Hello:
All my Air-conditions are not smart, and for sure our Remotes are not accessible.
Is there an alternative way to control them via OUr Iphones?
I know that all old AIr-conditions are using Infrared, and Iphone does not support this, but can we plug 1 and use it?
if no, am ok to purchase an android phone to use it if it will do so, but i knew that all Remote apps are not accessible at all,
do anyone here has a suggestion please?

Thanks in advance

The only way I know of is to purchase a smart plug for the unit and control it with the alexa app or a similar app if the plug has its own app. Perhaps someone else will give a better suggestion but this is the only one I know of.

100% accessible third-party device!

Hi there! This is absolutely possible with an iPhone or iPad, HomeKit, and a third-party device. Not only gives you access to the power and temperature controls, but any other features of your AC unit as well, like modes or swing control. I actually made a video about the device I use and just how accessible it is to me as a blind user. Long story short, it is 100% accessible and I absolutely love this device.
