Abstract
A wireless controller () is configured to send commands to a mini-split HVAC unit () that thermostatically controls a temperature in a space () using the temperature sensed and a programmable set point. The wireless controller () may include an infrared (IR) transmitter (), a temperature sensor (), a user interface (), a non-volatile memory (), and a controller (). The wireless controller () may store an IR database in the non-volatile memory () for each of a wide variety of mini-split HVAC unit (). The wireless controller () may then allow a user to select a particular mini-split HVAC unit (), and from the selection may identify a corresponding IR protocol in the IR database. During subsequent use, the wireless controller () may use the corresponding IR protocol during subsequent communication with the mini-split HVAC unit ().
