Buy a new one, that’s fine, but I’m translating so I think this is quite difficult? If I can’t go to the store directly, I buy it online, but it takes at least 1 day to wait for delivery, and I still have to contact the shiper, so I’m a bit shy. If you do not know what to do to turn on the air conditioner in a situation like this, read this article.

1. Use the separate switch of the air conditioner

I think before installing the air conditioner, you should ask the mechanic to add a circuit breaker to the air conditioner. Doing so is very convenient, you can both turn on the breaker when the remote is lost, and can control the amount of electricity that the air conditioner uses. From there calculate the monthly electricity cost of the air conditioner.

And yet, if the air conditioner has a problem, it will not affect the electrical system in the house. Bridge installation is also very convenient for the elderly. They just need to turn on the breaker to be able to use the air conditioner, no need to use the remote. Because for the elderly, the remote is sometimes very complicated because there are too many keys, making them not know what to do.

2. Use the power button on the air conditioner

If you have tried method 1 and the air conditioner still does not turn on, you can use the power button on the indoor unit.

Depending on the manufacturer, this power button is located in different positions:

Daikin, Gree, Mitsubishi, Funiki air conditioners, … there is a power button located at the right side of the indoor unitnext to it is the Timer light and the air conditioner operation indicator light.
Left on Panasonic, LG, Hitachi,… it will be a bit difficult to find the power button. Because the power button is hidden by the manufacturer under the filter of the indoor unit. You just Lift this dust filter and you can find the power button of the air conditioner.

3. Use Apps on Smartphone

In theory, the remote works with infrared rays, so if your phone has infrared eyes, you can use the remote to remotely turn on and off the air conditioner. Previously, AnonyViet introduced Zaza Remote app to replace the current remote, but if you like more features, you can refer to the applications below:

Here are the best air conditioning control apps that you should use:

Mi Remote controller

Since I use a Xiaomi phone, it’s built-in App Mi Remote controller. This application can control almost all infrared devices today. I have tried Sony TVs, Daikin air conditioners all work OK. This application supports most Android phones and is very easy to use. If you lose the air conditioner remote, you can use Mi Remote controller to replace it.

The Tado° Cooling app is designed specifically for the iPhone. Tado° Cooling requires a $64 transceiver to connect the air conditioner and iPhone. However, what Tado° Cooling brings is well worth the money you spend. But I think with that price, you can buy more than 3 4 remotes already :v.

Tado° Cooling’s device will automatically turn on the air conditioner when you are in the room, and turn off the air conditioner when you leave the room. You can also learn more features.

If you do not want to spend money and want to use the application for free, you can install the ASmart Remote IR application.

However, ASmart Remote IR only integrates with Samsung and HTC devices, so this is a critical minus point of this application.

In addition to controlling the air conditioner, ASmart Remote IR can also be used to control TVs, DVD players, music players, computer control….

SHARP AIRCON APP can control Sharp wifi air conditioner anywhere. In particular, this application can also measure the electricity consumption of the air conditioner. A feature that I think you will not need when installing an air conditioner breaker: v.
