Installation Instructions
The Pebble Wi-Fi controller uses infrared signal to communicate to your air-con/heat-
pump but can only send information and not receive information back from your air-
con/heat-pump. Where possible we would recommend to use the Pebble Air app as the
primary air-con/heat-pump controller to avoid any possible conflicts between the hand
held remote and Pebble Air app. You must position your Pebble carefully in a considered
location. It is vital that the Pebble can see the front of the air-con/heat-pump(where the
infra-red receiver is) as infra-red signals cannot see around corners or go through walls.
Before fixing or mounting your Pebble unit in place you will be required to link your
Pebble unit to your Wi-Fi network and will need to access the bottom of the Pebble unit.
Your Wi-Fi password will also be required. The Pebble has three IR transmitters
