1. Overview
About this document
This document describes the Wi-Fi network configuration process of AC Cloud Control
devices using Bluetooth. It also contains description of device´s toggle button
functionalities and the meaning of the AC Cloud Control LED colors.
About the solution
AC Cloud Control is the perfect IoT solution for professional AC management. It has
been developed with the collaboration of the main AC manufacturers enabling the
control of any domestic, commercial or VRF unit from a mobile application or from any
web browser.
AC Cloud Control system offers many functionalities, for that reason is considered the
suitable solution to control offices, stores, schools, or any other commercial building.
Figure 1.- AC Cloud Control integration.
Preparing for configuration
Before starting, be sure you have everything you need for configuration:
•AC Cloud Control device
Also named AC Cloud Control throughout this document.
Figure 2.- AC Cloud Control device.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the proper AC Cloud Control. It depends on the Indoor Unit
model. Check the compatibility tool.

•Access point
AC Cloud Control supports 2.4GHz band and 802.11 b/g or /n mode.
•Smart device
Android and iOS operative systems are supported.
•AC Cloud Control App
Download and install in your smart device.
After enabling the Bluetooth on the smart device, get it close to the Access Point and
AC Cloud Control to start the configuration.

Advanced Configuration
AC Cloud Control can be configured in 3 different RF Modes:
•USA: 2412 –2462 MHz (11 channels)
•Europe: 2412 –2472 MHz (13 channels)
•Japan: 2412 –2484 MHz (14 channels)
The factory settings are set to work in the most restrictive mode, USA: 2412 –2462
MHz. Therefore, if the user doesn’t change any of these parameters, AC Cloud Control
