*Works so well **Fastly.Cool** for rv that it only requires daytime operation until high temp and humidity are overnight. It is difficult to get to side filters, but back is easily accessible.*

Thanks! We RV with dogs and I can say this is the beat thermostat by a long shot! We bought a myfi device to control ours. Its has worked as advertised. Installation was just as easy as you you made it look. Great company by the way they called me before shipping just to confirm it was the right model that I needed and correct address to send it to.

You guys have changed my life once again!!! Watching your videos has inspired me to get out in my RV more, my girlfriend and I just made a 14 hour drive from St.Louis to Gulf Shores for vacation which I’ve never hauled my RV more than a few hours before........ I spent weeks researching how I can get a smart thermostat and never found any promising results then I just laid down after a long 2 days of traveling and you’ve solved my long mystery of getting a smart thermostat!!!!! I ordered myself one before your video was even over for my 27th birthday coming up on Wednesday!!!! Your code worked flawlessly! Thank you guys so much!!!!!

Upgraded our 2 thermostats to Micro Air on our 2013 Phaeton. We’re on our first trip now with them and we love them! Adjust the climate while lying in bed via Bluetooth or the WiFi. Love it!

@danamckittrick2162 3 жыл бұрын

NOTE: Depending on the thermostat you are replacing, the Micro Air model may come prewired to a white multi wire connector that will mate with the same type connector from the coach’s factory wiring. In that instance it is literally ‘plug and play’. No individual wires to connect. 👍

@danamckittrick2162 3 жыл бұрын

UPDATE: If your RV is equipped with an Automatic Generator Start (AGS) that will provide backup power in case of a power failure, the Micro Air thermostat will work seamlessly with that function. As you would before, it must be turned on and set to the desired temp and heat or cooling.

My first Easy touch thermostat failed in under one year, maybe because it was I think the second one ever installed (May 2020). Screen just blanked out. Luckily I kept my old thermostat in the rig and just reinstalled it. Contacted Micro-Air and they sent me a replacement unit right away. Reinstalled that one and I got the latest unit, so that was good. Kudos to Micro-Air for their support.

Hvac tech here ..Regular thermostats absolutely can control multiple heat and ac sources.. most of your modern day thermostats will have an RC and Rh terminal with a jumper factory installed between both terminals . if you remove the jumper and hook up your heat source power wire to rh, and your cooling r wire to rc, that’s running a dual power setup . If you buy a home wi-fi the tstat, that’s powered off batteries and not a 24 volt power source .. it will work fine since the thermostat terminals are open and closed switches and the Batteries are the power source .. no different then having a straight ac system with duct work and a boiler system for heat . One stat can control both . I installed two residential wifi thermostats in my travel trailer without any issues . Works perfect .

I had this thermostat for my 5th wheel, it was the first company to make a wifi bluetooth thermostat for Rv's and it worked very well. The initial setup took a few minutes with the connection and pairing process but otherwise it was great. The price tag for a one of a kind system is high but to be expected. Unfortunately I can't use it anymore as I traded in my RV and it's not compatible with my new Coleman mach system. The system I have is for the Dometic , I removed the thermostat and it's only 2 months old. Now I need to look into the Coleman Mach version.

Bought a Beta unit from MicroAire and worked with then on some of the startup issues. At this point the unit is very stable and works exactly as it should The guys at MicroAire were great to work with, appreciated feedback from the field, and were very responsive to any issues. After watching/hoping the market would produce one of these, MicroAire rose to the occasion, and I believe have the only one of it's kind in the market. Very happy with mine, and anxiously await Google/Alexa compatibility.

I have 2 AC zones and the furnace on my dometic thermostat, will this thermostat control them all?

@lifuchs1 2 жыл бұрын

I installed one of these maybe 5 months ago. It works fine although I would have liked a better touchpad. I do think they could improve the app. I have an iPhone and to exit the app you swipe up but doing that I often turn off the thermostat because of the location of the off button or change the mode setting or fan setting. If they just put those three settings on top and moved the temperature and wifi/bluetooth to the bottom this won't happen. You can touch those all day long and nothing will happen. I contacted them about this and their answer was there were other ways to exit the app. True. But when you do something for years, changing that habit is difficult and it shouldn't be necessary for me to learn a new methodology. It would be so simple for a software engineer to flip those lines.
