1. Turn on with the power button on the indoor unit

Most air conditioners today have an On/Off button to quickly turn the machine on and off under the cover of the air filter or on the left side of the fan blade on the condenser. Depending on the design of each manufacturer, this power button is located in a different position.
When you want to turn on the air conditioner without the remote, find this button, turn it on and you're done.


For air conditioners from brands such as Daikin, Mitsubishi, Funiki, or Gree... the power button is usually integrated next to the Timer lights and the air conditioner indicator light is located on the left side of the fan blade on the condenser.
Air conditioners from Panasonic, LG, Hitachi,... have the power button located under the filter of the condenser. Users need to remove this dust filter to see the power button of the air conditioner.
With this simple way, you can turn on the air conditioner easily when there is no remote.
2. Turn on/off by phone
If you don’t have a remote control, you can use your smartphone to turn on the air conditioner from anywhere in the room. However, it is important that your smartphone has an IR sensor (an infrared transmitter, used for remote control purposes (within 10m)).

Then, you can install a compatible remote control application for each line such as IR Remote for all Android and iOS phones, ASmart Remote IR is only compatible with Samsung or HTC phones, Tado° Cooling App for iPhone.
After installing this application on your phone, you can choose to control your TV or air conditioner...

So with the above method, you have a handheld remote control with your smartphone. This remote control has almost all the functions of the original remote control. Besides, it will be extremely beneficial when you want to adjust the temperature in the dark without using a flashlight or turning on the light.
3. If you have a smarthome central control unit, take advantage of it.

Smarthome smart home systems are now quite popular. Inside this central control unit is equipped with IR infrared sensors and RF transceivers. We can use this central control unit to connect to the app on the phone to control the air conditioner. At this time, your phone does not need to be equipped with IR infrared sensors to turn on and off the air conditioner.
4. Turn on and off with the circuit breaker
This method is quite risky because some air conditioners will automatically run when the power is lost and then turn back on. For example, large air conditioners placed in halls, classrooms, meeting rooms... are often turned on and off by a circuit breaker instead of using a remote. Because this method is simple, it is easy to lose the remote control in large halls.

If you only use the air conditioner at a certain temperature at home, you should install a separate circuit breaker in the room just to turn the air conditioner on and off. Doing so is very convenient, no need to worry about the remote being lost, if the remote is broken, there is a circuit breaker to use. Besides, you can also rest assured that when you turn off the air conditioner with the circuit breaker, the temperature will be saved, when you turn it back on, it will be exactly the same.
Hopefully the above sharing will help you pocket some useful ways that can be applied to turn on the air conditioner when there is no remote control nearby.
