INTRODUCTION
In addition to being controlled using the operator panel or included remote control, the Climateasy P12R2
model is Wi-Fi enabled and can also be controlled using a tablet or smartphone with an Andorid or iOS App.
This user guide explains how to configure and use the integrated Wi-Fi support on the Climateasy 12R2 and
associated management App. The guide assumes that the reader has already reviewed the basic Climateasy
12R2 commissioning and operating instructions described in the Climateasy 12R2 Portable Air Conditioner
User Manual and Operator Guide.

Before You Start
1. Confirm that the router/access point that supports the Wi-Fi network that you intend to use the
Climateasy P12R2 with can support a 2.4GHz connection and that 2.4GHz network support is
enabled/active.
2. Many newer Wi-Fi routers and access points are capable of supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
connections concurrently. If this is the case ensure that the router/access point is configured to use
different network names or SSIDs for the 2.4Ghz and 5GHz networks. The Climateasy 12R2 model
only supports connection to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. Please consult the user documentation for your
router/access point or contact your ISP for more information regarding how to confirm whether
separate SSIDs are in use for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks.
3. Obtain the Wi-Fi password/network security key for the Wi-Fi network that will be used with the
Climateasy P12R2 either from your network administrator or the Wi-Fi router/access point
configuration information/documentation.
4. It is recommended that for initial configuration of the Wi-Fi support on the unit, you locate both the
Climateasy 12R2 and tablet/smartphone as close as possible to the router/access point.
5. Ensure that the Climateasy P12R2 is plugged into a suitable power socket, the power is on and the
unit is in standby mode (powered off using the power button on the operator panel).

OBTAINING THE MANAGEMENT APP FOR YOUR DEVICE FROM THE APP STORE
Download and install the TUYA SMART or SMART LIFE App for your device from either the Apple App Store
or Google Play Store. Both Apps are provided by Tuya Inc a global supplier of Internet of Things (IoT) and
smart device technologies.
Apple/iOS Device Google/Android Device

8
USING THE APP WITH THE CLIMATEASY P12R2
The following examples use the Android Smart Life version of the App. The functionality and workflow of the
iOS version (Tuya Smart App) is similar to the Android version however there may be some slight differences
in the format of the displays between the versions.
REGISTER APP
Once the App has been successfully
installed on your chosen device open the
App and touch/press the ‘Register’
button on the initial screen
The App requires an authorisation code
which can be received via text or email.
Select registration by email or by phone
and complete the requested
information then touch/press ‘Obtain
verification code’.

9
You will receive a six-digit authorisation
code by text or email depending on the
delivery method selected in the
previous step. The code should be
entered into the App when requested.
When prompted create a password for
App login which conforms to the
password rules described on the screen.
Touch/press ’Completed’to save the
password.

10
SETTING UP THE APP TO WORK WITH THE CLIMATEASY P12R2
The App supports two different Wi-Fi connection modes for the Climateasy 12R2: Quick Connection (EZ
Mode) and Access Point (AP Mode). Quick Connection mode is the simplest way configure the Climateasy
12R2 to work with the App. Access Point mode requires a direct local Wi-Fi connection between your tablet
or smartphone and the Climateasy 12R2 to transfer the required Wi-Fi network configuration information
and is slightly more complex to use. The Wi-Fi support on the Climateasy 12R2 unit needs to be set to the
correct mode to support the chosen configuration method that will be used in the App.
Before attempting to add the Climateasy 12R2 to the App please confirm the following:
1. The Climateasy 12R2 unit is plugged in to a suitable power outlet and any power switch on the power
outlet is in the on position.
2. The Climateasy 12R2 is in standby mode. (Unit has been powered off using the power button on the
operator panel).
3. The Wi-Fi indicator LED (1) on the operator panel of the Climateasy 12R2 indicates that the unit is
configured for the correct connection mode that will be used in the App.
The first time the App is opened it will
prompt you to create a ‘family’. A
‘family’is a profile within the App that
allows you to define various attributes
about the environment that the
Climateasy 12R2 will be used in
including the geographic location and
which rooms within that location
contain the Climateasy 12R2. It can also
be used for any other compatible smart
devices which will also be managed by
the App. Detailed discussion regarding
how to use the ‘family’facility and other
more advanced features of the App is
beyond the scope of this manual. The
integrated help facility within the App
should be reviewed for more
information on this feature.
Add the requested information and
touch/press ‘Done’to save.

standby mode and the Wi-Fi indicator is
flashing/blinking twice per second. If this is
not the case switch the unit off using Power
Button on the operator panel then use the
Sleep Button to set the correct Wi-Fi
connection mode. Check that the
smartphone/tablet running the App is
connected to the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
network that will be used for the Climateasy
12R2. On the App home screen touch/press
the ‘+’symbol (3) to start the add new
device wizard.

The App will attempt to connect to the
Climateasy 12R2 and transfer the network
information to the unit. This step may take
a few minutes to complete. If this step is
unsuccessful retry the connection step
when prompted by the App. If the second
attempt to connect to the Climateasy 12R2
fails, refer to the troubleshooting section
later in this guide. If the Climateasy 12R2 is
successfully added to the App, the App will
then allow the unit to be associated with
one of the rooms defined for the active
‘family’profile. Press/touch the desired
room then press/touch ‘Completed’. The
Climateasy 12R2 is now ready to be
managed with the App. Go to the section
‘CONTROLLING THE CLIMATEASY 12R2
