FYI: LG A/C Randomly Starting Itself Solved!
Gents;
I've posted a question regarding this issue a few times over the past several months. Not to belabor the details I thought some of you might be interested in what the cause turned out to be: 802.11b WiFi was the culprit. Must be that LG's remotes are RF instead of IR. When someone was in the room with a WiFi session going on, randomly the A/C would come on by itself. Without the WiFi it stays off. Go figure! Bob |

And we all thought the days of random opening of garage doors was solved by changing frequencies. I guess this is the new door opener. Thanks for the update. |

Thanks for the update. lol, well not exactly. 802.11b is 2.4GHz. its a public frequency thats why its popular. Cordless phones use the same frequency. Basically any consumer device can use 2.4GHz because its public. That includes said A/C unit. Its just poor implementation on the a/C units part. If you wish you can go to the new 802.11g I believe it is which uses 5.4GHz. or better to replace the part that is not robust, the A/C thingy. -- Respectfully, CL Gilbert |
