Enabling Local Network Control (iOS) – AnywAiR Ducted Controller

To ensure your AnywAiR Ducted Controller operates correctly within your local Wi-Fi network, the Local Network Access permission must be enabled on your iPhone or iPad.
This allows the app to communicate directly with your air conditioner when your device is connected to the same network — even without internet access.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open iPhone Settings

    • Go to your Home Screen and tap the Settings ⚙️ app.

  2. Scroll Down to Find the AnywAiR App

    • Scroll through the list of installed apps until you see “AnywAiR” (or “myanywAiR”, depending on version).

    • Tap to open the app’s permissions menu.

  3. Enable Local Network Access

    • Locate the toggle labelled “Local Network.”

    • Ensure this option is switched ON (the switch will appear green when active).

  4. Confirm Wi-Fi Connection

    • Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your AnywAiR Ducted Controller.

    • If you recently changed networks or routers, reconnect the controller via the Wi-Fi setup wizard in the app.

Additional Tips

  • If the controller still doesn’t respond, force close the AnywAiR app and reopen it.

  • Ensure Location Services are also enabled for the app if you’re using Geofencing or Automation features.

  • If using a corporate or mesh Wi-Fi network, verify that client isolation is disabled — this feature can block local device communication.

Why Local Network Access Is Important

Enabling Local Network Control allows:

  • Direct communication between your device and the ducted controller.

  • Faster response times without cloud delay.

  • Offline operation in case of temporary internet loss.

✅ Once Local Network Control is enabled, your AnywAiR Ducted Controller should respond immediately when adjusted through the app while connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
