What happens if someone changes settings using the Wi-Fi Control App at the same time changes are made on the handheld remote?
To explain this it is important to understand how the Wi-Fi Control Adaptor works (For detailed information visit our ‘How does it work’ section). The adaptor sends intermittent updates on the status of your system back to the internet (server). At the same time, the adaptor retrieves any commands which have been sent by the Wi-Fi Control app or handheld remote. In the event settings are changed on both the handheld remote and the Wi-Fi Control app in between this intermittent retrieval the air conditioner unit will activate whichever command was sent last.
What is true active/bi-directional control?
Simply put, true active/bi-directional control is essentially two way communication. Unlike other upcoming Wi-Fi controllers which use one way “line of sight” infrared signal, the Wi-Fi Adaptor is connected directly into the indoor unit so the unit can be both controlled and monitored. For example, if a change is made on the handheld remote this change is almost instantly reflected and visible within the Wi-Fi Control App and online portal. Likewise, should a fault be experienced a notification is sent to the App alerting you. For a more detailed explanation of how the Wi-Fi Adaptor works, visit our ‘How does it work’ section.

How does the minimum room temperature limit rule work?
When enabled, Wi-Fi Control will actively monitor the room and turn on automatically if the room drops below your set minimum temperature. To learn how to set this rule visit our ‘Creating and using rules’ section.
How does the Maximum temperature limit rule work?
When enabled, the maximum temperature rule works in the opposite of the minimum temperature rule. Wi-Fi Control will actively monitor the room and turn on to cooling the room rise above the set maximum temperature. To learn how to set this rule visit our ‘Creating and using rules’ section.
Can multiple smart devices (e.g., tablet or smartphone) connect to a single Wi-Fi Adaptor?
Yes, Wi-Fi Control allows multiuser functionality, and as such, more than one device can be connected to the same Wi-Fi Adaptor. To do so, simply use the same registered login and password used to initially set up your Wi-Fi Control on each of the devices you wish to connect.
My 7 day handheld remote allows me to program up to four settings for each day of the week – is Wi-Fi Control the same?
Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control offers the ability to set an unlimited number of settings/rules. Referred to as a rule set, these can be unique to each indoor unit. These settings can be anything from turn on/off and change mode to more advanced settings such as the minimum/maximum temperature limit rules.
Can I set more than one rule to apply?
Yes, using Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control you can have more than one rule in action on your air conditioner at any one time – in fact the rule setting is almost limitless! To do so you need to set up a new rule set for your air conditioner. To learn how to set up a rule set for your air conditioner visit our ‘Creating and using rules’ section.
