Infrared heater remote control bypass possible?
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2021 2:10 pm
Hi all, I recently bought two Klarstein Infrared panel heaters with separate remote controls. They were a fair bit cheaper than other models with remote control via phone app, but I thought I could live with the difference.
However it turns out that the remote controls are not at all easy to use, the instructions are hopeless and the are pretty unreliable as they lose the plot regularly, fail to regulate temperature and go into sleep mode within a couple of minute, so I wondered if it was possible to bypass the remote control feature and use a socket adapter type controller such as these https://www.amazon.co.uk/KETOTEK-Thermo ... cx_mr_hp_d
I opened up the unit on the heater to take photos in the hope that someone can figure out if the modification can be done, whilst retaining the on/off switch and the thermal cutout it is said to have.
