Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Remotec Z-Wave ZXT-120 IR Extender for Air Conditioners (Kitchen)

i use this small unit to control my split A/C unit at certain times a day and weekday. It receives a signal from the z-Wave controller and sends IR command to A/C unit. This unit has got a built in temperature sensor and is recognized as thermostat in my Veralite. It may be operated by three AAA batteries in so called Flirs mode or on mini usb power in continuous listening mode. In latter mode it acts as z-wave signal repeater. It may worth noting that this unit is smaller than appears in the picture. A user reported that he had to re-pair the device if unplugged from power, however, i had no issues whatsoever with pairing and moving the disconnected device to another room.
The list of supported A/Cs are updated with each firmware update (mine was 1.2a) and may be checked at their website. It should be noted, however, that the users cannot update the firmware (at least this was my understanding). So before ordering, you may wish to check the versi on of the firmware.
My A/C brand was not listed as supported, but i was able to program this unit using the original remote (on how to check the vsalvia's post in micasaverde forum). Now i'm able to turn off and on my a/c with the desired temperature. Some users reported that they're not able to change the fan speed etc. Nevertheless, this device met my expectations, hence 5 stars.

UPDATE 23/12/2013:
One month passed, still happy with the product. Bought the third one to control bedroom a/c.

UPDATE 24/01/2014:
Still working like a charm. Just to note that the polling takes little longer than other devices in my Vera.
