1. Identify the control system first
Find the controller and remote model using their accessible labels or existing paperwork. Note how the original remote operates: whether a button is held during movement or pressed briefly to issue a command. This information determines the kind of integration to look for.
2. Choose local or internet access
Some products are designed for nearby phone access. An internet gateway provides another path when the phone is away from the local radio connection. AirRemote uses Wi-Fi internet access at the gateway to connect supported equipment to its app and web dashboard. The gateway must remain connected for remote requests.
3. Configure and check available commands
Confirm compatibility, connect the appropriate gateway, and add the supported remote using its setup flow. Read the command labels and timing options before sending a request. Test while maintaining the manufacturer-required supervision and visibility. A transmission record is not a physical-position measurement.
4. Give each user their own access
Use AirRemote’s sharing features for family or caretakers rather than distributing your primary login. Review who can access the equipment and make sure each person understands the lift’s operating rules. Revoke access when it is no longer needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a browser instead of installing an app?
AirRemote provides a web dashboard as well as a mobile app. Both rely on compatible configured equipment and a connected gateway.
