My Sanyo 24,000 BTUh (36,000BTUh heating) mini-split has a button on the remote that allows the system to switch from the built-in thermistor (for the thermostat), or use the thermistor in the remote control.
The remote sends an IR signal to the air handler every 5 minutes (unless you press one of the buttons).
If you leave the remote out of sight (can't see the IR sensor), the system will switch to the built-in thermistor and maintain the last set-point, that it received from the remote.
wrong info at 2;.15 that remote control is not the termostat and does not senses any return temperature. it only sends a signal to a microprocessor inside the unit. the actual temperature sensing bulb is located in the air handler evaporator. nevertheless great job on that installation. good luck brother!
It is hard to heat glass rooms.
