What cheeses me off

I use this for my office Mitsuibushi. Works well and I can easily schedule it with phone / alexa etc.

Interesting, but instructions say you need a your original air conditioner remote control handy during the initial setup to program the Sensibo Sky; so I still need to replace the Daikin one first. New Daikon was only $15 so Im ok with that.

We moved house a month ago - it has a two decade plus old reverse cycle aircon that works fine. The Air Conditioner responds to the old remote, however its LCD display shows unintelligible content about 99% of the time being mainly blank or garbled. We have been through the process of purchasing two replacements through eBay and Amazon based on model number etc. but the aircon responded to neither.

I checked the replacement remotes, checked the batteries, performed the view using android mobile phone camera to observe the flash at the infrared LED. The code on the packaging for the new remotes and that on the old remote was the same.

Interestingly, the test with a mobile phone camera does not indicate anything with the old remote but it does work.

Both suppliers have accepted returns and refunded.

Oh what a pain, it doesnt bode well. I hope that since ive ordered legit Daikin exact same model number as the broken one it will be ok; as climbing up a ladder to turn on/off manually isnt practical long term.

Hmm. Don’t remember that. Seem to remember just selecting the make from a list.

Is there a native Deakin control apo for phones etc?

If devices and apps only updated security then I’d be updating them instantly. But the large iPhone updates completely change the way the phone operates and you have no choice to prevent it. The latest adds in all sorts of extras that I don’t want and even makes posting here difficult sometimes as it adds functions I have no use for. They destroyed the photos app last time. Just let us do security updates only and allow users to choose if they want other changes made.
