AC Remote Station, Universal Remote Control for AC remote

Automated Day and Night Setpoints for Mini Split Units

The ARS-1 AC remote station solves a common problem with mini split air conditioners: most units only support a single temperature setpoint, with no way to automatically switch between day and night targets.

Using the IR remote control that came with your mini split, the ARS-1 learns the unit's existing signals and resends them automatically based on a built-in photocell, switching the setpoint as light levels change.

Key Features & Benefits

• Learns Your Existing Remote — Captures the IR codes from your mini split's own remote control.
• Automatic Day/Night Switching — Photocell-based detection changes the setpoint without manual input.
• LCD Display — View and adjust settings directly on the unit.
• Seamless Hydro-X Integration — Connects to your existing TrolMaster system with address assignment.

Who Should Use the ARS-1 AC Remote Station

Growers using a mini split or compatible window AC unit who want separate day and night temperature targets without manually adjusting the remote.

Compatibility Notes

Works with most mini split and some window-type AC units that include an IR remote control. Not currently compatible with Daikin, Mr. Cool, Innovair, or Cooper and Hunter brand devices.
