Smart AC Controller Upgrade — What Works, What Doesn't
Upgrading from an old wall controller to a smart thermostat? I can tell you what's compatible without you having to guess — or buy the wrong thing.
The Situation
You've got an older ducted AC with a basic wall controller (maybe an ActronAir LM7 or similar) and you want smart control — app control, scheduling, remote access, voice assistant integration. But you're not sure if it's possible, what controller to buy, or who to call.
What's Included in a Remote Session
- Controller identification — what you have, what it's compatible with
- Compatibility check for upgrade paths (ActronAir Easy Connect / NEO, third-party options)
- Recommendations for the right smart controller for your system
- Step-by-step installation guidance (customer-ready work only — no wiring changes)
- Wifi and app setup for your new controller
$49 flat fee — assessment, advice, and setup
If an in-person visit is needed to swap controllers, the session fee credits toward the call-out.
