However, due to the variety of hardware and software found in home networks, compatibility is not assured with your particular network.
AVOID FRUSTRATION - READ THIS WHOA! When setting up this device, you may think it is broken when it is not. Why? Because if the power is turned on to the mini-split equipment either for the first time, or by powering it off then on again to resolve a network or other setup issue, the equipment and related software will not operate for a minimum of 15 minutes. This includes the setup process for the app also not working for at least 15 minutes.
