This Woniry remote replaces the original for Blue Star inverter split air conditioners, starting with model IC518YNU.
Compatible Models:
IC518YNU, IC312GNUS, IC312QNUS, IB312QKU, IF312VNU, IE324DNU, IE312VNUS, IE312YNU, ID312MNU, IA318QKU, ID318DKU, IA309TNU, WIE318L.
What is in the box: one remote. Batteries not included (two AAA cells required).
How to use: pop in two AAA batteries (not included). Point at the indoor unit sensor and press a button. That is the whole setup.
The 5-in-1 convertible cooling function is present, so if your unit supports 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100% capacity switching, those buttons are here. Most Blue Star inverter models from 2018 onward carry that feature. Check your original remote's button layout before ordering. If your old remote has a grid of 30 buttons and this one shows 28, button positions may differ slightly but all core functions (mode, temp, fan, timer, sleep) will work.
Common return reason: customers ordered without matching the button count. The sensor range is about 8 meters in a clear line of sight. If the indoor unit is mounted high and angled away, you may need to aim more carefully than with the original.
Battery life runs about 9 to 11 months with typical daily use (3 to 4 hours of AC run time). The shell is ABS plastic, same as the original.
FAQ:
Q: Does this remote work with Blue Star window ACs?
A: No. This is for inverter split models only. Window AC remotes have a different code set.
Q: My model is IA309TNU. Will all buttons work?
A: Yes, IA309TNU is in the compatible list. Match the button layout photo to be sure.
Q: Can I use rechargeable AAA batteries?
A: Yes. NiMH rechargeable AAAs work fine, though they last slightly fewer months per charge than alkaline.
Q: Does the remote need pairing or setup?
A: No. It is an infrared remote. Insert batteries and point at the AC. No pairing step.
Q: What if my model is not in the list?
A: Check the model code printed on your original remote's battery cover. If it starts with IC, IE, IA, IB, IF, or ID and the remote looks similar to the product photo, it likely works.
