TrolMaster AC Remote Station (ARS-1)
Automatic Day/Night Temperature Control for Mini-Split Air Conditioners
The TrolMaster ARS-1 AC Remote Station is a smart, universal controller designed to automate day and night temperature changes on mini-split air conditioners using infrared (IR) remote technology. Built to integrate seamlessly with the Hydro-X environmental control system, the ARS-1 eliminates the need for manual temperature adjustments and ensures optimal climate conditions around the clock.
Unlike traditional thermostats, the ARS-1 learns the IR signals from your mini-split’s original remote control. Once programmed, it automatically sends those same commands to the indoor AC unit—switching between day and night temperature setpoints based on its built-in photocell sensor. This ensures efficient cooling control without interfering with the mini-split’s internal electronics.
Ideal for grow rooms, greenhouses, and controlled environments, the ARS-1 provides reliable temperature automation without high-voltage switching.
