What this LG AC remote app is for
Remote For LG AC is a remote control app for LG air conditioners. It sends commands over infrared, so the phone acts as the remote in place of the handset that came with the unit. The listing presents it as a tool for people who have lost their remote or would rather use their phone.
The developer describes the app as an independent service that is not endorsed by LG. It is listed under Tools and is rated for ages 3 and up.
Adjusting temperature, fan speed and mode
The main job of the app is changing the AC's settings: temperature, fan speed and operating mode. Each is set from the phone's screen, and the listing describes these as the controls needed for everyday use.
Control depends on the phone having an infrared transmitter. The listing says this is needed for best performance, so a phone without one may not be able to send commands to the unit.
Choosing a remote layout for your LG model
Setup works by choosing a remote for your specific LG air conditioner model. The listing says the app draws these from an extensive database, so you pick the layout that matches your unit rather than entering codes by hand.
A newer feature, named in the listing, lets you use the original remote layout in a 2D interface. The listing does not say how closely this copies the physical handset.
Replacing a lost or drained AC remote
The listing's main use case is a missing or dead remote. With the app installed on a compatible phone, the phone takes over the job of the handset, so a flat battery in the original remote no longer stops you controlling the unit.
This only covers the LG air conditioners in the app's database, and the phone must send infrared signals as described above.
