I have a window unit AC that I'm wanting to turn on via

>>1101374

I'm a really smart guy. But I didn't learn the same way as normal people, normal people don't even know how to teach a kid that's smart as shit. They thought I was slow because I hated all their stupid worksheets and long solutions to simple math but I seemed really smart, so they put me in advanced classes. I ate that shit up like manna from heaven. And then I breezed through my normal schoolwork as well because I felt like they acknowledged my intelligence by giving me harder more interesting problems. Some kids just fall out of love with school, get bored and don't pay attention. Like literally to the point that I had a teacher that was so stupid I mentally blurred out pretty much everything she said with "bla, bla, bla..." This woman told me in third grade I was ignorant to have accidentally written 4 - 12 on the board(during a speed exercise, I was doing 5 simple problems during a set timeframe) because "everyone knows in subtraction the big number goes on top." Whole class chuckling at me a little. I say how is that true, what about negative numbers? 4 -12 is -8!!!! She says "there's no such thing as negative numbers".... I shit you not. Class laughs at me, haha Chris thinks there's "negative numbers" whatever that means haha!

yea me too

The unit must be programmed to start on power fail If it's not, you are SOoL.

Meaining when you cut power to the device via wifi, it would realize it was a power fail and wait for power to be applied again and re-start to last known state.

It's usually a feature that is needed - like on servers and new computers for instance.

find a wifi to IR dongle and point it at it.

tada

wow thanks, I had no idea such a device existed

>>1101819
wot es sayin, OP is trying to switch the thing remotely, however, remote power cycling, via whatever method, may not be a fuck worth if the device additionaly requires a control panel button press to restart. And that all seems fairly straightforward and valid to me, when not the entire crux of the matter of hand, tbqfh.

Why didnt you buy an ac that has a controller most do

>>1102036
Don't fall for this guy's fucking Jewish tricks. Just about every AC salesman ropes you in with the whole 'wifi compatible' meme. Then you get stung for a 400 dollar bill for a little fucking chip, because it's never included in the price but they make out like it is.

I fucking hate salesman.

If you want to go ghetto on it, we can certainly tell you how to build a linear actuator that will get power (at the same time as the ac), wait for three seconds, then push a button for you. Actually not that hard, and doesn't even require an arduino. tqbfh.

What are you trying to achieve OP?

Do you want to turn the unit on at any point while you're out to cool your house so when you get back its chill af?

Or is it a case of "i want it to turn on so when i get home from work its a good temp"?

Cause you could try a timer?? :)

>Cause you could try a timer?? :)
and you could try reading comprehension. The issue is, whether the AC unit will switch on when power is applied, or whether you need to apply power, then press a contorl panel button (because, technology - makes your timer idea useless) or whether its indeed got remote socket/input you could probably fuxor something to.

As usual, OP fails to supply useful information like model/number/which planet he's on, so, its all argument guesswork, whether and what might work.

Im assuming you have a smartphone. Thank me later.
