LG PWFMDD202 Wi-Fi Module with SmartThinQ Compatibility
The LG PWFMDD202 Wi-Fi Module connects a compatible LG mini split or ducted indoor unit to your home wireless network, so you can run your comfort system from a smartphone or tablet with the LG ThinQ app. It is LG's current Wi-Fi adapter and replaces the earlier PWFMDD200. Homeowners use it to add app control to an LG system they already have, and HVAC contractors install it when they deliver a new LG Ductless System.
Is the PWFMDD202 the Right Wi-Fi Module for Your LG System?
The PWFMDD202 is built for owners of compatible LG indoor units who want to change settings without walking to a wall controller or finding a handheld remote. This includes changing temperature from bed, turning a zone on before you get home, or checking a vacation property from across the state. Adding app control to an existing system usually costs far less than replacing the controls.
Compatibility depends on the indoor unit, not the outdoor condenser. Before you buy, check the model number on the air handler, cassette, or wall-mount head you want to connect. Multi-zone systems may need more than one adapter. The module also needs a steady 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal where the indoor unit is mounted, so a unit in a detached garage, basement, or far bedroom may need a Wi-Fi extender.
Ideal for: Homeowners, landlords, vacation rental owners, and light commercial offices running compatible LG mini split, ceiling cassette, or ducted indoor units who want remote control through the LG ThinQ app.
Replacing an older adapter? The PWFMDD202 replaces the previous-generation LG PWFMDD200 Wi-Fi Module, so it's the go-to choice for upgrading or replacing an older LG Wi-Fi adapter.
Compatibility varies by indoor unit model and software version. Confirm your LG indoor unit model before purchasing. Request free compatibility assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LG PWFMDD202 Wi-Fi Module do?
It connects a compatible LG indoor unit to your home Wi-Fi network, so you can control the system from a smartphone or tablet with the LG ThinQ app instead of the handheld remote or wall controller alone.
Is the PWFMDD202 the replacement for the PWFMDD200?
Yes. The PWFMDD202 replaces the earlier PWFMDD200 as LG's Wi-Fi module for compatible indoor units. If your system called for the PWFMDD200, contact us to confirm the PWFMDD202 fits your indoor unit model.
Does my multi-zone LG system need more than one Wi-Fi module?
Often, yes. The Wi-Fi module connects at the indoor unit, so multi-zone systems may need one module for each indoor unit you want to control from the app. Call 813-885-7999 and we can help you work out the right quantity.
Will the PWFMDD202 work on a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network?
The module is designed for a 2.4 GHz wireless network. Most dual-band home routers broadcast 2.4 GHz alongside 5 GHz, so make sure the 2.4 GHz band is turned on and reaches the indoor unit.
Can I still use my LG remote after installing the Wi-Fi module?
Yes. The Wi-Fi module adds app control alongside your existing LG handheld remote or wired wall controller. It does not replace them.
Who typically buys the LG PWFMDD202?
It is popular with homeowners upgrading an existing LG mini split, landlords and vacation rental owners who manage units remotely, and HVAC contractors adding smart control to new LG installations.
