A remote control for an air-conditioning apparatus includes: an outer button to be operated by a user for changing an operating condition of an air-conditioning apparatus body; an inner button to be operated by the user for changing the operating condition; a cover that is openable and closable and is configured to cover the inner button; a cover opening/closing detection unit configured to detect opening/closing of the cover; a display unit configured to display an enlarged display screen displaying at least one of an operation mode, a set temperature and a set humidity, and a detail display screen displaying a function of the inner button; and a display switching unit configured to, when the cover opening/closing detection unit detects that the cover is closed, make the display unit display the enlarged display screen, and when the cover opening/closing detection unit detects that the cover is open, make the display unit display the detail display screen.

Remote control for air-conditioning apparatus

Display screen with graphical user interface

A sensor detects whether or not an input device and a display device are in a combined state. A control mode determining unit determines a control mode associated with the state detected by the sensor. A control processing unit switches a control mode of a control target apparatus to the control mode determined by the control mode determining unit, and causes the display device to display a function to be operated in a display mode corresponding to the switched control mode.
