How do I change my air conditioner from Fahrenheit into Celcius?

This remote doesn’t provide a simple solution for this very common wish from a user.

I had to look a three third party video sites to find a way to do it and it process managed to mis-configure my unit. I still don’t remember how to do it - at some point I will have to look it up again.

The remote has a heap of features I don’t understand and have zero motivation to learn.

If I were in Trane management I would:

  • Just have an off and on button

  • Change mode from heating to cooling

  • Change temperature

  • Have a button to change the units between Celcius and Farenheit

  • Make an App and publish an API which works well so that third party manufacturers can integrate their system into an overall system

Instead the team is probably working really hard to make all of these obscure features keep working which their users don’t understand.
