Hi Scott. I own a Fujitsu mini-split, and the instructions for setting up the wi-fi and FGLair app have baffled me for the past 4+ years! You clarified a lot ... and also convinced me I should try the Cielo remote control and app. What a terrific suggestion! It immediately solved all my frustrations with the mini-split, and allow me to ditch the Fujitsu remote control which is completely user unfriendly.

Avoid IR control if possible as it's one way and you can never be sure if the IR command you sent is processed or not.

I agree with you about the Fujitsu interfaces - they perhaps focus more on the commercial market and don't think that market cares about ease of use as much? Now to figure out if my air handler supports the wifi module or not!

@@brandizabransky8213 here's what the manual says: For applicable indoor units, refer to the product catalogue posted on Support page of the web site. www.fujitsu-general.com/global/support/ My understanding is there's two types of fujitsu system. 2 wire or 3 wire. So this one is for two wire systems.

Hi. I have a Fujitsu AC and use the same FGLair app with a wifi module. How do you integrate the AC in Emporia ? I don’t see any way to connect Fujitsu AC. And I spoke to a representative of Emporia who confirmed they don’t offer this. Thank you.

Can you set a max temperature from the app? I have a rental and guests often will crank the heat up to 90. Also once you have the app working to control the units can you still use the physical remote/thermostat when you are at home?
@ScottAllison
Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can still use the physical remote. They operate completely independently from the WiFi/app. That means both can have their own separate programs. I'm not aware of any way to limit the temperatures. Do you have an infra red remote? If so, look into getting Cielo Breeze or Sensibo. They may have the ability to lock in a temperature range.

In another video I review the Fujitsu wired controller, which has a remote sensor built in. I think fujitsu also sell a remote sensor on its own. So I recommend you look into either of those.

Is it possible to monitor 4 units installed in another country via the web? Thank a lot for any answer, Kind regards, Michel

Nice video. Since your wifi module is mounted in the attic (and presumably displaying the ambient temperature of the attic), how does the air handler know when the desired temperature has been reached? For example, in the summer, I imagine your attic gets much hotter than the rooms below. So if you set the room temperature to 68, but the wifi module is in your 90 degree attic, how will it know when the rooms below get to 68?
@ScottAllison
Жыл бұрын
No, it's not reading the attic temp. The system measures the temp of the air passing through the air handler, or the temp at the wall mounted controller. Or, there's a setting where it uses both. So that's what shows up in the app
