The MRCOOL SmartHVAC app and Smart Controller offer advanced features that allow you to control your MRCOOL air conditioner or heat pump using your mobile device. With this wireless control system, you can seamlessly integrate your MRCOOL ductless mini-split system with your smartphone and other smart-home devices, providing you with unparalleled control and convenience.
MRCOOL Smart Controller and App: Key Features
- Global Control: The MRCOOL SmartHVAC app allows you to control your MRCOOL air conditioner or heat pump from anywhere, as long as you have a stable internet connection. You can turn the unit on or off, adjust the temperature, and monitor its performance, all from the palm of your hand.
- Weekly Scheduling: The app enables you to set up a weekly schedule for your MRCOOL system, allowing you to automate your heating and cooling based on your daily routines and preferences. This feature helps you optimize energy usage and maintain your desired comfort level.
- Filter Maintenance Reminder: The MRCOOL Smart Controller tracks the usage of your air conditioner or heat pump and provides timely reminders when it’s time to clean or replace the air filter. This ensures your MRCOOL system operates at peak efficiency.
- Geo-fencing: The app can utilize your smartphone’s location services to detect when you’re away from home and automatically adjust the temperature accordingly, helping you save energy when the home is unoccupied.
- Zone Control: If your MRCOOL ductless mini-split system has multiple indoor units, the app allows you to control each zone independently, ensuring optimal comfort in the areas you use the most.
- Usage Statistics: The MRCOOL SmartHVAC app provides detailed usage statistics, including energy consumption, runtime, and temperature history. This data can help you identify opportunities to improve your energy efficiency and make more informed decisions about your HVAC system.
- Timeline of Actions: The app keeps a comprehensive timeline of all the actions performed on your MRCOOL system, allowing you to review and understand your heating and cooling patterns.
MRCOOL Comfy Mode: Advanced Temperature Control
One of the standout features of the MRCOOL Smart Controller is the Comfy mode, which offers a sophisticated level of temperature control for your ductless mini-split heat pump.
Setting up Comfy Mode
To use the Comfy mode, you’ll need the following:
- An MRCOOL Ductless Mini-Split System
- An MRCOOL WiFi Dongle
- A stable internet connection
Here’s how to set up the Comfy mode using the MRCOOL app:
- Open the MRCOOL app on your phone or tablet and tap on the AC icon. Choose to power “On” the AC for which you want to set the “Comfy” mode.
- Set the AC in “Cool” mode and set the temperature to 67 degrees Fahrenheit. This is 1 degree Fahrenheit cooler than the Comfy range of choice.
- Tap on “eSaver” in the navigation bar on the app.
- Hit “My Rules” in the app.
- Tap on the “+” icon to add a new rule.
- Select “Comfy” as the trigger.
- Set the temperature range for Comfy, for example, between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Save the rule.
How Comfy Mode Works
The Comfy mode triggers “on” when the room temperature is 1 degree higher or 1 degree lower than the optimal temperature range set by the user. For example, if you choose the temperature range for Comfy to be between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit, the AC will trigger “on” if the room temperature falls below 68 degrees Fahrenheit or reaches a temperature higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In a matter of minutes, the temperature will increase or decrease in the room through the MRCOOL mini-split heating and cooling system.
This advanced feature provides homeowners with greater flexibility and control over their MRCOOL ductless mini-split heat pump, allowing them to automatically and simply manage their heating and cooling while maintaining their ideal level of comfort and reducing monthly energy costs.
