Yes, you can use Cieo Breez Max along with your AC remote. Just make sure that when you're using the remote, it is within the line of sight of your mini-split and the Breez Max so they both receive the IR command. This ensures your mini-split and Breez Max remain in sync.
If anything is obstructing Breez Max while you are making adjustments via remote, your Cielo device won't register it, and you will notice that your mini-split and Cielo device are not in sync.
