Air conditioner interface design

I'm taking Don Norman's Design of Everyday Things course on Udacity. It's a lot of fun, very stimulating. https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-the-design-of-everyday-things--design101

This is from an exercise on taking frustrating signifiers and working through how to improve them. I looked at my air conditioner controls which are not exactly elegant and worked on a different layout.
