Solution Overview

The IntesisHome IS-IR-WIFI-1 is an external infrared (IR) module that connects compatible air conditioning units to a Wi-Fi network, allowing remote control and monitoring through web and mobile applications such as myanywAiR or IntesisHome.

This smart solution enables users to control temperature, fan speed, mode, and swing, as well as create schedules, monitor energy use, and receive alerts — all from a connected device.


Installation and Setup Process

1. Hardware Installation

  1. Position the IR Blaster:

    • Place the Intesis module in a direct line of sight with the indoor unit’s IR receiver.

    • Recommended placement: near or beneath the air conditioner, within 3 meters.

  2. Power the Device:

    • Connect the Intesis IR Blaster to a power source using the supplied USB cable and adapter.

    • The LED indicator will illuminate, signalling that the device is powered on and ready.


2. Wi-Fi Configuration

The IS-IR-WIFI-1 can connect to your home network automatically through WPS or manually using a browser.

Option A – WPS (Automatic) Setup

  1. Press and hold the button on the Intesis device for 3 seconds until the LED begins blinking blue.

  2. Press the WPS button on your router.

  3. The LED will change from blue blinking → red blinking → off once connected successfully.

Option B – Manual Setup (Browser Method)

Use this option if your router doesn’t support WPS or you are connecting to a hidden network.

  1. On your phone or computer, open Wi-Fi settings.

  2. Connect to the temporary broadcast network:

    • ANYWAIR-I-XXXXX or C-ANYWAIR-I-XXXXX
      (XXXXX = device serial number)

  3. Open a web browser and type:
    ? http://192.168.4.1

  4. The setup page will open.

  5. Select your home Wi-Fi network from the “Select Network” dropdown, or choose “Enter SSID Manually” for hidden networks.

  6. Enter your Wi-Fi password and click Configure.

  7. The LED indicator will progress through the following sequence:

LED ColorBehaviorMeaning
Green (steady)Ready to connect
Green (blinking)Checking configuration
Yellow (blinking)Downloading configuration
Red (blinking)Connecting to Wi-Fi
OffSuccessfully connected
Red/Green alternatingConnection error (check password or signal)
Yellow/Green alternatingServer unreachable (check internet)

Once complete, the LED will turn off to confirm successful connection.


3. Link to the Intesis or myanywAiR App

  1. Download the IntesisHome or myanywAiR Next app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

  2. Create an account or log in.

  3. Add your Intesis device by:

    • Scanning the QR code on the device, or

    • Entering the registration code manually.

  4. Once registered, your air conditioner will appear in the app dashboard for full remote control and automation setup.


4. Verifying Operation

  • Use the app to turn ON or OFF the air conditioner, change temperature, or adjust fan speed.

  • Confirm the IR signal is received by checking for a response beep or display change on the indoor unit.

  • If no response occurs, reposition the IR blaster for clear line-of-sight or verify the indoor unit is powered on.


5. Resetting the Device (if needed)

If you need to reconfigure Wi-Fi or start over:

  1. Press and hold the device button for 10 seconds.

  2. The LED will blink green during reset, then turn solid green when complete.

  3. The device is now in configuration mode and ready to reconnect.
