Two wall controls. Which one for you?
Tell us what matters: we tell you which one to get, and the row that makes the difference lights up in the table.
On and off, mode, temperature, fan speed, timer and Outing mode: the touch controller covers the basics, in a smaller case.
The weekly schedule, with its exception days, is the advanced controller. For the touch model, Samsung lists only a single timer.
Instant power and trends by day, week, month and year, on supported systems, per Samsung.
The A2L alert shows if the unit has a leak detector. The table above tells you whether yours does.

Away for 12 hours: what the MWR-SH12UN does while you’re gone.
Outing mode holds a minimum. The unit restarts when the room drifts 5 °C (9 °F) from your target, stops when it gets back, and the mode cancels after 12 hours, per Samsung. Pick a target and leave.
Heating: 16 to 22 °C (61 to 72 °F), 16 °C out of the box.
Cooling: 25 to 30 °C (77 to 86 °F), 27 °C out of the box.
One button, two jobs: press Outing to leave; hold it for 3 seconds to lock the control.
12 h: Outing mode cancels.
Illustration curve: how fast the room changes depends on the house and the weather. The thresholds and the 12 hours come from Samsung.
