The full story
The poster had lived with an old Rinnai air conditioner for six years and its manual said nothing about wifi. When he asked Claude how to control it with an IR blaster, it replied that the model supported wifi control.
The wifi setup was in a separate, hard-to-find manual. Claude found it, gave instructions and helped troubleshoot; he says it was a nightmare but he got there, and didn't spend $2.5k replacing the unit.
