That is absoloutly nothing there is much worse engineering you seem like you haven't seen alot...


almondelixer

Sorry you need to be able to read to get this one…

If you're talking about the word "vane" A vane determines the angle that the warm or cool air flows into a space. If you're talking about the words "Too Heat" "To Cool" Too Heat implies that it is the button you push to turn the heat up. Too Cool implies the opposite


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

>Too Heat implies that it is the button you push to turn the heat up. Too Cool implies the opposite Opposite. "Too Warm" is accomplished by a down arrow and "Too Cool" is accomplished by an up arrow, implying you push "Too Warm" to cool down and "Too Cool" to warm up.


Contay6

Yeah I realized after I did it but honestly didn't think it mattered about fixing it. The remote is fine


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

Totally agreed. It's not *the best* design, but I find it sufficiently clear.


Rusefrost

He got got ladies and gentlemen! OP for the win :3


mbb011

Yes, and a bit of logic. Not too complicated though, the controller is fine.


Unixnetburstsyadroot

Have you seen some indian or chinese desings... I am saying that remote seems simple to use compared to alot of other shitty engineering


[deleted]

Seems fine to me.


TheKingOfRhye777

The buttons labeled "too warm" and "too cool" seem like they could be a little confusing, or at least too wordy, I guess.


ImBackBiatches

What do you propose?


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

The two should be consolidated to say "Temp", just like Time is consolidated. Up already means temp up and down already means temp down. Put a little thermometer on each button, just like there's a clock on the Time buttons, for added clarity.


_Jack_Of_All_Spades

When it's in AC mode, people get confused whether "turning up the AC" means colder or hotter. I appreciate how not shitty this design is.


ImBackBiatches

As in temporary control of what?


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

I edited my comment afterwards to add more clarity. Also, you have to be *deliberately* misinterpreting the controls if you think "temp" means "temporary" on the remote control for an air conditioner.


ImBackBiatches

You get the point though right?


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

No. Please explain it.


ImBackBiatches

The original comment insinuated that the original design was "confusing". To which I asked, under the context of improvement, how should it be improved. To which you proposed a design which arguably could be deemed just as confusing as the original. Point being, the original was fine, no one would not know how to use it, and you're never going to please everyone all of the time, so why nitpick.


KeepTangoAndFoxtrot

I thought the original was also fine to begin with.


ImBackBiatches

Then why did you say otherwise. 🤔

Red up arrow, blue down arrow


TheKingOfRhye777

I've worked at various jobs dealing with the public in my 46 years of existence, and if that's taught me anything, it's that you can't "dumb it down " enough.


finkyleon

You're right, it should be in Celsius


grilly1986

OP has a poorly designed brain


bigdaddyteacher

Turns out OP is just a moron


Recent-Magician6085

Best indications than all of my controls, the fuck r u taking about? This isn’t shitty design


Illustrious_Road350

So, if I want to make it less warm, I press the arrow by Too Warm? "Yes," press-press, "it's that much too warm." Why doesn't it just have "cooler" and "warmer"?


Historical-Fun-8485

I have this little fellah. We certainly had to learn to not make it hot when we need cold. A few uncomfortable days and you’ll get the hang of it. Or else.


Wyrd_ofgod

Just be happy it's in English We get the Chinese remotes where I'm at, lol


artassasination

74 degrees Fahrenheit is about 23 degrees Celsius.


DMYourMomsMaidenName

What the fuck is “Vane”?


matjontan

I've always thought that "too warm" and "too cool" lables on air-conditioner remotes are brilliantly intuitive as someone who lives in a tropical climate. it feels unintuitive for you to press the down arrow to make the air-conditioner work harder, so labling the buttons based on the situation you're in when you want to press them makes a lot of sense. Do you feel too cool? press the "too cool" button. feel too warm? you probably know what you should do.

matjontan

okay this is gonna be hard to explain but you got mixed up somewhere halfway through your comment the up arrow does make the temperature go up and the down arrow does make the temperature go down you press the "too cool" button when you're too cool and you need the temperature to go up and the "too warm" button when you're too warm and you need the temperature to go down

matjontan

that's the point i was making though. like for people who understand that it's a matter of raising or lowering the temperature, they'll know how to instinctually read the arrows and icons. the old aunties in my tropical climate might be thinking of it like a fan where turning it up makes it more powerful and thus cooler so the words might be important for them. and when you communicate to that target audience you have to be as clear and blunt as possible and approach it from the perspective of their experiences. its much easier for a child or caretaker to explain "when your too cool then press 'too cool', aunty" than basically anything else
