Who This Is For
- You are automating your climate cycles because manually adjusting your mini-split remote is keeping you from the canopy.
- You are adding IR control because your AC unit lacks a hardwired port for direct connection to your main controller.
What We Found
- IR emitter placement is everything since even a tiny obstruction prevents the station from talking to your AC.
- Keep a Micro-SD card handy since firmware updates are the only way to add support for newer mini-split brands.
What Users Say
- Users who automated their cooling say they stopped checking their rooms at night once the ARS-1 took over the remote.
- Commercial operators report that assigning individual unit addresses made balancing temps across zones much easier.
TrolMaster ARS-1 Mini-Split AC IR Remote Station
Managing the temperature in your grow room shouldn't require constant manual intervention. While mini-split AC units are powerful climate tools, their reliance on handheld remotes often leaves a gap in automation. The TrolMaster ARS-1 AC Remote Station bridges this gap by learning the IR commands from your existing remote, allowing your climate controller to take full command of your cooling and heating cycles.
By integrating the ARS-1 with your TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 Grow Tent Control or Tent-X system, you can eliminate manual adjustments forever. Once the signal emitter is positioned and programmed, the system automatically sends commands based on your precise environmental setpoints. With a simple setup process and a Micro-SD slot for future firmware updates, the ARS-1 is the ultimate solution for professional mini-split automation.

FAQs
Will the ARS-1 work with my mini-split AC unit?
The ARS-1 is designed to work with any AC unit that utilizes an infrared (IR) remote. By learning the signals from your existing remote, it can control the majority of mini-split and window-style units on the market.
What is the difference between the ARS-1 and the ARS-2?
The ARS-1 controls a single operating mode learned from your remote. The ARS-2 is an advanced version that can manage multiple modes (Cool, Heat, Auto) and is compatible with a wider range of controllers, including the HCS series.
How do I program the IR commands?
Programming is done directly on the ARS-1 using its LCD screen. You simply point your AC remote at the station and follow the prompts to record the on, off, and temperature signals.
Where should the signal emitter be placed?
The emitter should be placed with a clear line of sight to the IR receiver on your AC unit. If the unit is mounted far away, an extension cable (ECS-8) may be required.
How do I update the firmware?
Firmware updates are performed using the built-in Micro-SD slot. Download the latest firmware from TrolMaster, save it to a card, and insert it into the ARS-1 following the update guide instructions.
