SirDale replied to cheekymonkey97 on Firepro Fire Blanket $6.89 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings

SirDale replied to Moondragon on Sensibo Air - Smart Air Conditioner Controller $129 Delivered @ Sensibo via Amazon AU
It's an IR blaster so I guess if you have two identical AC units within line of sight it would work but otherwise it's just 1 to 1.
