OT Modern AC remote has temp sensor???

[krw]

Considering that there is no display on the remote I couldn't say.

Do you know *what* it's doing?

 

[John Doe]

Why would you want a remote on an AC?

Why do you want air-conditioning?

 

[krw]

Why do you want air-conditioning?

1) 100F
2) Muggy
3) Cheaper than heat

 

[Jasen Betts]

The AC has to have some feedback, to know when the room has cooled to
where you want it. If the handset isn't sending the current
temperature, how does the AC know how long to run?

The remote could remeber the setpoint and send start and stop commands at
apropriate times, no need to send readings continuously.

Yes !

Can you explain it?

You haven't so far. Apparently you don't really want help.

I agree, the way it is written at Lowe's website does not make sense.

"Remote thermostat allows the unit to sense temperature where you are
at with the remote control"

Makes perfect sense, the unit use RF (433 MHz) instead of IR. A lot
like a wireless outdoor thermometer.

 

[krw]

Where?

Outside, dummy. I air condition to keep it outside.

In fact, I have lived in 96° average weather for years without
air-conditioning. And hopefully you are not suggesting that the only
people who need air conditioning live in that sort of climate.

You are a prime example of no brain - no pain. Did you actually
read this thread?

A remote control on an air conditioner has many possible uses to the
general public.

Name one that isn't part of the terminal phase of couch-potatoism.

But of course, a remote might be entirely useless to you.

Perhaps you are a terminal couch-potato?

But I am sure a salesman would be happy to entertain your
question.

Why don't you stop blowing hard and tell us all?

Ok, one reason for having a remote on your AC...

When I lived in Irvine, I had a big problem. We were always waking up
at about 2-3AM and having to adjust the thermostat. It was set fine
when we went to bed, but around then the marine layer would roll in,
and the humidity would jump from around 35-50% to more like 80-90%. if
we had just had a remote, I could have reached over to the night
stand, and made the quick adjustment. Instead, I had to get up, go
downstairs to the thermostat, hit it twice to go down a degree (or
two...) and then climb the stairs and try to get back to sleep.

Or, your wife is going through menopause, and gets night sweats, so
she can turn it down without gettting up.

and then turn it back up a half hour later when she gets cold...

and then back down an hour later when she gets hot again...

Set back thermostat. The relative humidity can change quickly but
not the absolute humidity.

Or, your wife is going through menopause, and gets night sweats, so
she can turn it down without gettting up.

Doesn't matter. Keeps you awake anyway. BTDT.

and then turn it back up a half hour later when she gets cold...

Blankets are much better temperature regulation.

and then back down an hour later when she gets hot again...

See above.

Next?

You need to get a life, troll.

I have a life, and can even get up off the couch at least once a
day, if necessary (usually isn't), to change the thermostat. We
use thermostats for a reason.

 

[krw]

You mean "us" as in "me, myself, and I"?

No, unlike you, I know there is more than one person here in Usenet
Land. Please tell us (all).

You are a troll and would not be satisfied with any answers, however
reasonable. See your follow-up to Charlie (below).

It seems that you are the troll.

You are the reason for salespeople, Jack, go bug a salesperson.

I don't want a steenkin' remote. You seem think a remote
controlled AC important, even though (with eyes looking down your
nose) you don't think AC is. <boggle>

Seems you're doing the trolling here, though can't remember which
bait you're using. Alsheimer's?

Nope, we had a setback thermostat, but that didn't help the problem.
You never knew just when the marine layer would roll in, and if it
ever would during the night.

I did try building a temperature/humidity compensated thermostat, but
ran into software problems...
