Installing the Thermostat
Safety
First, it is recommended to remove both AC and DC power from your system.
Unplug your RV from shore power and turn off any converters or generators to
remove AC power. Open your 12-volt DC bus breaker or fuse to de-energize your
thermostat. This greatly reduces the chance of any harmful electrical
discharge, as well as prevents accidentally opening a fuse.
Removing the Old Thermostat
The OEM thermostats have a front assembly that detaches from a back plate.
Rotate the thermostat counter-clockwise to free the front assembly from the
backplate. The front assembly will have 4 wires attached to it by a screw
terminal block. Take a picture of the wire colors as they enter their screw
terminals on the front assembly, to use as a reference later. Try to capture
the wire names as well, which are labeled at the base of the screw terminals.
You can also write in Table 3 later in this section to record what color wires
have what name.
The backplate is attached to the wall by 2-4 mounting screws; remove them to
remove the backplate from the wall.
Wiring the New Thermostat
EasyTouch RV will come with 4 wires to make the appropriate connections.
Micro-Air will also provide slide-in, lever-operated connectors to make your
wire connections to the OEM wires coming from the wall. Table 3 shows how the
EasyTouch RV wires will interface with the existing wires. Fill in the OEM
wire color column of the chart (along with a picture saved elsewhere) to have
a recorded wiring reference.
Table 3 – Wire Color Chart
OEM Wire Color (Provided
to write in your own color)| OEM Wire
Label| Matching EasyTouch Wire
Color| Function
---|---|---|---
| A| Blue/White Stripe| Communication
| B| Purple| Communication
| +12V| Red| ( + ) 12 VDC Power
| GND| Green| ( – ) 12 VDC Power
Once you know which wires match which, begin by using a small flathead
screwdriver (not provided) or similar to loosen a wire’s associated screw
terminal. Slide the wire out of the terminal and out of the backplate. Ensure
that about ½” of insulation is stripped from the end of the wire. Use wire
strippers (not provided) or similar to remove the insulation if needed. Open
both levers of a connector and fully insert this wire in one end and close the
associated lever. Do the same to the matching EasyTouch RV wire. Do this for
all four wires.
Warning: Be confident that you are making the right wire connections.
Connecting the wires incorrectly may damage the EasyTouch RV thermostat.
Please contact Micro-Air if you are unsure.
Re-apply Power
Restore DC power and the thermostat screen should light up and boot into the
main menus.
Restore AC power so that your appliances can run again. Move on to the section
Mounting the Thermostat, or the section Initial Setup Instructions and mount
the thermostat later.
Mounting the Thermostat
Step 1: Locate the mounting buttons horizontally across the hole with a smaller diameter against the wall. Step 2: Screw in one screw and level the buttons so the display will be straight when installed. Step 3: Screw in the second screw making sure the two buttons remain level.
Step 4: Remove the mounting tab before mounting on the wall.
Step 5: Align the buttons with the holes in the back of the display. Press the display against the wall and gently slide the display down to lock it in place.
Initial Setup Instructions
The thermostat must know what is available in the system to control. This is
found automatically from the A/C control boards in the ceiling. There is no
special software configuration needed to begin setting the desired operation.
See the section Operating the Thermostat for getting started.
Connecting Remotely
EasyTouch RV can be operated entirely by the touchscreen, however, you can
also communicate, monitor, and modify its operation of it wirelessly using the
EasyTouch RV application. Some extra features will require a wireless
connection and are described in their sections. See Appendix A: Working
Wirelessly for details.
Operating the Thermostat
Main Screen
This screen is where most time is spent using the thermostat. This screen
allows you to set and monitor the desired operation of the thermostat and is
shown in Figure 1.
-
Inside temperature
This is the temperature reading for the space that the thermostat is trying to temper, determined by a local sensor. “Inside” means it is using a sensor inside the thermostat. “Inside(R)” indicates that a Remote sensor is in use. This system always uses a remote sensor. -
Local Weather
This icon indicates the local weather at the last time weather information was received. Tap the icon for more detailed weather information. See the Local Weather and Local Time section for more details. -
Status Tray
Various icons may be here to indicate active operations.
The Wi-Fi indicator shows the state of the thermostat’s Wi-Fi connection. No icon means no connection to an internet-enabled device. Red means it is connected to an internet-enabled device but does not have internet. Green means it is connected to the internet.
The number of bars indicates strength. See the Connecting to a New Wi-Fi Network for more details.
The Schedule icon here means that the created schedule is active and will change operation on that schedule. This is turned on and off in the Settings screens. See section
Schedule Screens for more details. -
Status Message
Various messages may be shown here to indicate active operations. See the Status Messages section for potential messages and their meanings. -
Temperature Set Point Adjust
Raise and lower the temperature set-point using the red and blue arrows. This sets the desired temperature for the space based on the operating mode. All modes are listed in the (7) Operational Mode section. -
System Power
Use the power button to turn the selected zone on or off. The button is red for off and green for on. -
Operational Mode
Pressing the mode button changes the current operating mode depending on what is available in your system. All possible modes are listed below. See the Operational Modes section for more details. -
Fan Speed
Pressing the fan button selects how the fan will operate in conjunction with the (7) Operational Mode.
Fans with green bars are manually always-on regardless of heating or cooling, with a number of bars indicating speed. Fan Auto turns the fan on and off with a cooling or heating cycle. -
Mood Lighting
Pressing the mood lighting button will take you to a new page where you can select the lighting around the A/C plenum. Tap the color or “off” for the associated light setting.
First, choose the zone you want to make a change in by using the (10) Zone Selection button. Mood lighting is optional hardware that some systems may not have, where this setting will do nothing. Micro-Air cannot assist with acquiring mood lighting hardware. -
Zone Selection and Zone Status
The selected zone is shown by the yellow box. Tap this button anywhere to cycle through the available zones in order. The changes you make on the main screen will apply to the selected zone. Table 4 describes what a zone color means. Micro-Air cannot assist with adding zones, however, when installed they are found automatically and dynamically. Color| Meaning
---|---
Green| Normal Operation
Red| See zone’s (4) Status Message
Gray| No zone communicating or available
Table 4 – Zone Number Color Meaning
-
Settings
Pressing the settings button will change the screen to the settings screen to allow additional configurations. See section Settings Screens for more details. -
Additional Status Tray
Various icons may be here to indicate active operations. Cooling modes will show the “Freeze” sensor reading. This is the temperature sensor on the indoor coil, which the A/C uses to cool the space. This can be useful for diagnostic purposes to ensure your system is running correctly. -
Outside Temperature
This is the temperature reading for your local area that is retrieved over the thermostat’s internet connection and is part of the (2) Local Weather information.
Operational Modes
All modes operate the overhead fan and/or a heating or cooling cycle based on the current heating or cooling set-point, relative to the inside temperature.
Fans and Fan Only Mode
This mode lets the fan operate based on the chosen (8) Fan Speed.
This will circulate the air without operating any heating or cooling cycles.
Cool Only Mode
This mode only runs a cool cycle to maintain the cooling set-point in the
space. Set the (7) Operational Mode button to Cool Only and the desired (8)
Fan Speed, where behavior will then be based on Table 5. A time delay of
approximately three minutes occurs before a cooling cycle begins. This allows
pressure to equalize in the system to prevent compressor damage.
Environment (°F) | Cycle Operation | Auto Fan Operation |
---|---|---|
Inside ≤ (Setpoint + 1°) | None | Off |
Inside 2° Above Setpoint | Cooling Cycle Begins | On Low |
Inside 3°- 5°Above Setpoint | Cooling Cycle Continues | On Medium |
Inside 6° Or More Above Setpoint | Cooling Cycle Continues | On High |
Inside Returns ≤ Setpoint | Cooling Cycle Terminates | Runs 30 More Seconds, Off |
Table 5 – Cool Only Mode Operation
Note: Table 5 operation may be different based on the Gap settings. See section Temperature Gap (Hysteresis) for details.
Furnace Only or Aqua Only Mode
This mode only runs an auxiliary heating cycle to maintain the heating set-
point in the space. Set the (7) Operational Mode button to Furnace Only or
Aqua Only and the desired overhead (8) Fan Speed, where behavior will then be
based on Table 6. Furnace fan speed is not configurable from the thermostat.
See section Furnace/Aqua Icons for details on the auxiliary heating icon.
Aqua Only Mode
Furnace Only Mode
Environment (°F) | Cycle Operation | Auto Fan Operation |
---|---|---|
Inside ≥ (Setpoint – 1°) | None | Off |
Inside 2° Below Setpoint | Auxiliary Heat Cycle Begins | On Low |
Inside 3°- 5° Below Setpoint | Auxiliary Heat Cycle Continues | On Medium |
Inside 6° Or More Below Setpoint | Auxiliary Heat Cycle Continues | On High |
Inside Returns ≥ Setpoint | Auxiliary Heat Cycle Terminates | Runs 30 More |
Seconds, Off
Table 6 – Furnace Only Mode Operation
Note: Table 6 operation may be different based on the Gap settings. See section Temperature Gap (Hysteresis) for details.
Dry Mode
This mode attempts to remove humidity from the space using a set algorithm.
Table 7 describes this algorithm.
Environment | Cycle Operation | Fan Operation |
---|---|---|
Inside ≤ Setpoint | Compressor ON for 10 minutes and OFF for 6 minutes | Always |
Low
Inside > Setpoint| Compressor ON
Table 7 – Dry Mode Operation
Auto Modes
This mode will automatically switch between heating and cooling cycles as
needed. Their operation will be the same as their “only” mode counterparts
described earlier in the Operational Modes section. Auto modes will have their
own “dual” set-points that are separate heating and cooling set-points. No
heating or cooling cycles will occur when the inside temperature is between
the set points.
This can be useful when setting a higher day-time cooling temperature and
lower night-time heating temperature. It can also be used to control the
temperature extremes when you are away from the RV.
Figure 2 shows how the main screen will look in auto mode.
Note: Auto mode is subject to Gap operations. See section Temperature Gap (Hysteresis) for more details.
-
Auto Mode Set-Points
Press the set-points to toggle between which set-point you have selected. A blue square will show around the one you have selected. The upper set-point is for cooling and the lower set-point is for heating. -
Set-Point Adjustment
Use the up and down arrows to change the selected set-point value.
Local Weather and Local Time
Local weather is displayed on the main screen and shown visibly in section (2)
Local Weather under section Main Screen. Tapping the button will reveal more
detailed weather information of the last received weather data. The local
temperature is displayed in the lower-left corner of the main screen, as shown
in section (13) Outside Temperature.
An internet connection and a valid location saved on the thermostat are
required to retrieve weather data. Local time data requires saved valid
location data. Location is saved in the thermostat when a Bluetooth connection
is made from a smart device with its location services enabled. The location
in the thermostat is updated when a subsequent Bluetooth connection is made
with a different smart-device location than the one saved. Location is
preserved through power losses or device restarts.
New weather data is retrieved when there is a screen press or when a
connection from a smart device is made, along with the above prerequisites.
Time is pulled in when a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection is made from the app.
Also, an internet connection on the thermostat will grab the time so long as
there is a valid saved location. If power is interrupted or the device is
restarted, it will go out to the internet to grab the current time when the
internet connection is re-established, without app interaction.
Status Messages
Some messages may be displayed on the main screen as shown in section (4)
Status Message under Main Screen. Table 8 shows the potential messages and
their meaning.
Message Text | Description |

Smart-Device Application Features
Restart Thermostat
This Bluetooth-only feature allows resetting the display just as if you
removed and restored power.
Calibrate Touchscreen
It is normally not necessary to recalibrate the touchscreen. This selection
prompts the user to press the four corners of the display and then test the
calibration using three diagonal marks. This feature is only available from
Bluetooth as being at the thermostat is required.
Check for Updates
Checks to see if any updates are available for the thermostat. The smart
device application must have internet and the thermostat must be connected to
Wi-Fi with a green Wi-Fi symbol. Tap Check for Updates and follow the prompts.
Notifications
Notifications provide a way for the user to monitor the temperature in the
space using notification limits. Limits are set by connecting to the
thermostat in the app, selecting the settings gear, and then selecting
notifications. A minimum and maximum allowed temperature can be set. Table 10
shows an example of an operation with an 80°F maximum temperature set.
Notification will be sent for each degree it rises above the maximum
temperature. If the temperature drops, no notification will be sent unless the
temperature exceeds the last maximum temperature again (82 in the example). If
the temperature drops two degrees below the set maximum, (78 in the example)
it will again alert for each degree above the set maximum. This behavior helps
avoid nuisance notifications to your smart device.
Temperature (°F) | Action |
---|---|
80 | Send first notification |
81 | Send another notification |
82 | Send another notification |
81…79 | The temperature drops, and no notification |
78 | Max temp resets |
Table 10 – Push Notifications Operation Example
Edit Wi-Fi Settings or Connect to Wi-Fi
This is where you will make the connection from the thermostat to the
internet. See the section Connecting to a New Wi-Fi Network for details on how
to use this feature. The app must be connected to the thermostat over
Bluetooth to see this option.
Appendix A: Working Wirelessly
This thermostat may be operated remotely using either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
All connectivity is performed through the EasyTouch RV App on a smart device.
The app is downloaded from the Google Play store or Apple App store. The first
time the app is opened, it will ask to create an account. Create your account
and follow the prompts to connect your thermostat.
Bluetooth is a limited range method to connect, typically used when near the
thermostat. The thermostat can be connected to an internet-connected network,
where you can then access the thermostat from anywhere you have an internet
connection with the app.
If a second user is going to use the thermostat remotely, they MUST use the
same account and password that the first user assigned to the thermostat. Each
thermostat can only be assigned to a single account, but many users can
control the thermostat if they use the same account.
First Connection Steps
Note: An internet connection on your smart device is necessary for these
steps.
- EasyTouch RV uses BLE which is a special implementation of Bluetooth. It is not necessary to “Pair” the thermostat with the phone but an account must be created for operation. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled and that the app has Bluetooth and location services permissions. Android users must also have location services turned on in general.
- Start the app on your smart device. The app will open and if you have not entered your account information, it will ask you to create an account and enable permissions. Enter your name, email, and password at the prompts. The system will send a confirmation email to your inbox. Enter the number in the confirmation email when asked.
- Once the account is created, the application may ask to add a device. If your thermostat is powered it will show in the list to be added to your account. Select the device and enter a name for it. This name is used to identify and connect to it in the future.
- If you added control, the app will ask if you want to connect it to Wi-Fi now. Enter your SSID (network name) and password of the network you want to connect the thermostat to.
Adding a Thermostat to Your Account
Follow the next steps if the accounting process does not add a control or a
second thermostat is to be added.
- Press the settings gear and “Add Device”.
- The nearby thermostat(s) should be listed in the new selection window. These are the thermostats heard over Bluetooth. Select the device and enter the name of the device.
- Press OK and the screen will return to the settings menu (Android) or the selection screen (Apple). Android users should press the back button to get to the selection screen.
- Select the device name to open the thermostat screen.
Connecting to a New Wi-Fi Network
You can connect to the thermostat from anywhere using the app when the
thermostat is connected to an internet source. The internet source must be a
2.4GHz network to connect to EasyTouch.
-
Connect to the thermostat in Bluetooth (Apple) and press the settings gear.
-
Select Wi-Fi Setup from the settings window.
-
Connect to a network:
a. The SSID (network name) will say “searching” then switch to “select”. Tap “select” to choose from a network the thermostat can hear.
i. Alternatively, enter the SSID manually (case sensitive)
b. Enter the password (case sensitive). -
Press OK and the screen will return to the selection screen. The thermostat will reset and a green Wi-Fi symbol will appear on the thermostat screen if the connection was successful.
-
With a green Wi-Fi symbol, you can now connect to the thermostat from anywhere using the app over the internet.
Updating The EasyTouch RV Thermostat
Ensuring you have the latest thermostat software is key to having all the
latest features.
- Ensure the thermostat is connected to Wi-Fi with a green Wi-Fi symbol.
- Connect to the thermostat and press the settings gear, then tap Check for Updates.
- Follow the prompts to update the thermostat or ensure that you already have the latest software.
Appendix B: Troubleshooting
The most common problems during installation are not matching the wires
correctly or properly mating the wires. The first step should always be to
recheck the instructions and make sure the wires are joined and seated
properly.
The second most common problem is not knowing the thermostat operation. If the
system is running a heating or cooling cycle, the set point will turn red for
heating and blue for cooling. When the thermostat turns white, the heat pump,
heat strip and furnace should all be off. The fan may continue to run for a
while after the cycle completes. If a fan is left in manual mode, it will not
shut off.
Wi-Fi Troubleshooting
No Wi-Fi Icon
- SSID (Network name) and password are both case sensitive.
- Be sure you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz network and not a 5GHz or 6GHz network.
- Set the security to WPA2 and TKIP+AES if you are having trouble.
- The thermostat has a limit of 31 characters for the SSID and 50 for the password.
- Ensure the number of devices limit for the network is not full.
- Ensure the Wi-Fi source is not out of range or metal partitions blocking the signal.
- Try a guest network or mobile hotspot that may have reduced restrictions.
- Reset the router to renew the DHCP lease.
- If you are in a metal enclosure, try moving the router or thermostat a few inches (even if temporary) and try again.
- If using MAC filtering, add the thermostat to the allowed devices list.
- Try assigning a DHCP reservation to the thermostat MAC address.
Red Wi-Fi Icon
- The router must have an internet connection
- The server may be down, check back at a later time
- Be sure there is no firewall in the router blocking the incoming messages (port 8883, MQTT). Place the thermostat IP into the DMZ settings to bypass any firewalls.
