Mini-Split Units: Overview of Remotes & Departure Instructions
There are two mini-split units in the cottage. One upstairs in the entry/living area and one in the basement.
There are remote controls resting in holders:
Upstairs, on the wall between the two bedrooms.
Downstairs, on the wall below the heating unit.
Upon arrival, pending time of year, do not be alarmed if the temperature reading on the remote reveals a low temperature, such as 50 degrees. The Mini-Split remotes work via an infrared signal. We monitor and adjust temperatures remotely, via WiFi with an App. The App and the infrared remotes do not sync. Therefore, there is often a discrepancy between the remote reading and the actual set temperature.
Before departure, please remember to:
During colder periods, please press the MIN. HEAT button on the remotes. This should ensure the units maintain a minimum heat of 50 degrees.
Return the remotes to their holders.
