AirPatrol - Smart AC control

Used old app for years to remotely control Misubishi mini-split and it work great. Mad the mistake of upgrading. I was hopeful since the new version seems to recognize the unit by point remote control at the airpatrol. Unfortunately it doesn’t successfully send commands to the unit anymore. Ugh.

There are a lot of air-conditioners out there, mini splits, window units, and portables just to name a few. It’s no small chore to have so many configurations preconfigured for you, which enables them to provide an interface that is both useful and pleasant to work with. The portable unit I am using was just released, and I was fearful that I would not find a template that work with it. But after if an email or two to their customer support, I was up and running and could not be more pleased. Their approach to this complex problem is a unique one, and I appreciate the time and effort that must’ve gone into getting all of it ready for prime time. So, kudos to this vendor, and many thanks for a job well done!

The app crashed during the demo within 30 seconds. It also doesn’t have an iPad version which is also 1 start worthy, and more importantly, hasn’t been updated for any device past the iPhone 5, so pretty much hasn’t been updated in the past 4 years.
