Installing the Thermostat
The installation of EasyTouch RV will be specific to the model you purchased.
Please use the in-box Quick-Start guide or the EasyTouch RV Reference Manuals
for your specific thermostat to install it. Some thermostats are more involved
than others so please be sure the thermostat is wired correctly, and any
needed software configuration is completed appropriately. Otherwise, the
thermostat may not operate correctly, and the basic functions listed here may
not work.
Common Thermostat Operations
Please use the Introduction section to first make sure your EasyTouch RV model
is correct, installed, and configured appropriately. The thermostat operation
may not work as intended or as follows if not.
The operations in this section start from the main screen of the thermostat
touch screen, shown in Figure 1.
FUNCTION
Fan Operation (Electric)
- Full Auto : Turns the electric fan on and off with a cycle. It automatically adjusts the speed based on the difference between the setpoint and inside temperature
- Cycled: Turns the electric fan on and off with a cycle at the selected speed only
- Manual: Always runs the electric fan at the selected speed
NOTE: If there is no button then there is no electric fan control for the selected . Not all fan speed control options are available for all modes. There is no direct control of the furnace blower. Auxiliary heating systems are self-contained and fully control their sequence of operations.
Change Zone Actively Displayed
For multi-zone thermostats, the operations viewed and selected on the main
screen apply only to this zone.
Turn a Zone’s Operation Off and Leave Other Zones On
First, choose the zone you want to make changes to (see Change Zone Actively
Display).
Check Local Weather
Tap this area of the screen for more information, even if there are no
graphics shown.
Set Time and Location
Location must be saved in the thermostat to know the time zone. This is saved
by connecting to the thermostat with the app over Bluetooth while the app has
location services permissions granted. See section Control Thermostat over
Bluetooth (Local Access) for details. No special operations, just simply
connect. Current time is also given simultaneously. If the thermostat loses
power or resets, the location is preserved but time is lost. It can get the
time again automatically when the thermostat reconnects to the internet,
without app interaction, or on a subsequent Bluetooth connection. See section
Connect Thermostat to Wi-Fi for details.
Create a Schedule
It is recommended to be in front of the thermostat when referencing the below
steps. References to zone operations are for multi-zone thermostats only.
Schedule screen operation descriptions can also be found in the EasyTouch RV
Reference Manuals for your model. Start at the top left and follow the presses
and arrows.
Common App Operations
The thermostat can be operated remotely with the EasyTouch RV app via
Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi through the internet. It is recommended to ensure
everything works as intended from the thermostat touch screen prior to any use
of the app. Then, First Time Setup must be completed before any other app
operations.
EasyTouch RV App icon
First Time Setup
Detailed first time setup steps can be found in the EasyTouch RV Reference
Manuals. The app must have an internet connection and Bluetooth permissions
for initial setup. Steps are read left to right, top to bottom.
Control Thermostat over Bluetooth (Local Access)
First Time Setup must be completed before connecting over Bluetooth to monitor
or modify EasyTouch RV. Android versions will automatically choose Bluetooth
in the first step if the app can hear it locally. Tap any of the icons once
connected to modify them.
Connect Thermostat to Wi-Fi
Modify the Saved Wi-Fi Credentials
First Time Setup must be completed prior to connecting EasyTouch RV to the
internet. Detailed WiFi connection steps can be found in the EasyTouch RV
Reference Manuals for your model. For troubleshooting, please see the Wi-Fi
Troubleshooting Article in our EasyTouch RV Knowledge Bank. Steps are read
left to right, top to bottom. Android will automatically choose Bluetooth in
the first step if the app can hear it locally.
Control Thermostat Over The Internet (Wi-Fi, From Anywhere)
First, make sure the thermostat is connected to Wi-Fi using the Connect
Thermostat to Wi-Fi section. You cannot control the thermostat from the
internet unless it is first connected to the internet. Once connected, tap any
of the icons in the app to modify them. Android will automatically choose WiFi
if it cannot hear it locally.
Setup Push Notifications on Ambient Temperature
First, connect to the thermostat over Wi-Fi, using the Control Thermostat Over
The Internet (Wi-Fi, From Anywhere) section completely. The app must also have
push notification permissions granted. Detailed operation of the push
notifications can be found in the EasyTouch RV Reference Manuals for your
model.
EasyTouch RV must have internet when the temperature extreme event occurs to send the notification.
Check for Thermostat Updates
First, connect to the thermostat over Wi-Fi, using the Control Thermostat Over
The Internet (Wi-Fi, From Anywhere) section completely. It is OK if you
connect over Bluetooth, but the thermostat itself must be connected to the
internet to download an update. You can still check if an update is available
if the thermostat is not connected to the internet.
Once you confirm the download from the app, you no longer need the app for the rest of the process. Look at the touchscreen of the thermostat on the wall, and the display should change to “Downloading”. Normal operation is that a counter will start incrementing to show the progress of the download, followed by a success message at the end, where the thermostat will then restart. You can verify the new software downloaded using the FAQ What is my thermostat’s software revision?.
For troubleshooting, please see the Thermostat Updates article in our EasyTouch RV Knowledge Bank.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Thermostat Operation
How do I adjust the screen brightness?
The screen brightness will change from Active to Sleep brightness after about
30 seconds of inactivity.
How do I turn off the backlight so that the screen is completely dark?
The screen brightness will change from Active brightness to Off after about 30
seconds of inactivity.
My inside temperature does not seem to be accurate. What is going on?
Systems may use the Internal sensor of EasyTouch to make decisions or they may
use a Remote sensor connected at the back of the thermostat or at the A/C
control board. If both an internal sensor and remote sensor are available, the
remote sensor will always take priority.
Navigate to the info screen to check what sensor the ambient temperature is coming from.
If the sensor is REMOTE then there may be an issue with its mounting,
location, or general failure. INTERNAL sensors can be calibrated, as well as
EasyTouch RV model 352 and 356 REMOTE sensors. 
EasyTouch RV 357 is unique so please reference it in the EasyTouch RV Reference Manuals.
There is text at the top-center of the main screen. What does it mean?
These are active faults (red) or status (orange/yellow) messages about the
system. Some appliances or thermostat operation may not work if there is a
fault. Please check the EasyTouch RV Reference Manuals for your Model to see
more information about these messages.
My appliance is not running long enough to affect the inside temperature.
What can be done?
The length of an appliance cycle can be adjusted to run longer or shorter
using the Hysteresis setting. This will put more or less energy into the space
per cycle, respectively.
You can use the FAQ My inside temperature does not seem to be accurate. What is going on? to see if the reason is an inaccurate reading from the temperature sensor.
Why is my electric fan continuing to run or constantly running?
Why is the A/C always running or running in furnace mode?
EasyTouch RV often runs the electric fan at the end of a cycle to harvest the
remaining energy in the appliance after it has shut off. Some EasyTouch RV
models bring this as an improvement over the old system and is normal
operation.
If the fan never shuts off then make sure you have the fan speed set as you expect. Manual fan speed selections will constantly run the fan. Use the Fan Operation (Electric) section to verify how yours is set.
If you think the A/C is running, it may just be the electric fan running so make sure the fan is set as expected.
What is my thermostat’s software revision?
What is my thermostat’s serial number?
What model EasyTouch RV do I have?
The software revision is the numbers separated by 3 dots. The serial number is
the 9-digit number. The EasyTouch Model number is the first three digits of
the serial number.
I have (1 to 4) zones in my old system, but EasyTouch RV has a different
count.
I am missing some zones that I had in the old thermostat.
Zoned systems use digital communication to a control board and have some
signal wires associated with them. First, check if there are no faults
displayed by using FAQ There is text at the top-center of the main screen.
What does it mean? Come back here if there are no faults or stop and handle
them appropriately.
Then, initiate a scan for the missing zones using the factory reset button, or the rescan button if available.
I do not see modes that I should have. Where are they?
Where is my furnace mode?
Why do I only have a white fan for a mode?
Use the Common Thermostat Operations section for how to use the available
modes in normal operation.
Some systems automatically detect what modes are available by talking to the
A/C control board and displaying them appropriately. Other systems do not and
must be configured at the thermostat. Use the EasyTouch RV Reference Manuals
for your model to see if your thermostat must be manually configured and
verify it is done properly, using its Installation and Setup sections. If the
thermostat is fine and only the app is missing modes then see the FAQ The
thermostat has all my modes but the app does not?.
Not all systems or zones have all modes. Whatever you have with EasyTouch should/must match the original.
Where is my Aqua mode (hydronic heat)?
For all EasyTouch RV models except the 350 model, “furnace” mode and “aqua”
mode are identical. It is simply a cosmetic difference. The image can be
changed to make more sense for your system. For the 350, it is important to
set this appropriately.
My thermostat screen is blank, but I can control it from the app. Tapping the
screen does nothing. Sometimes, electrical noise may get into the screen and
corrupt it. Try removing power to the thermostat by opening/disconnecting the
12VDC breaker/fuse for a few seconds. Restore power and check the operation.
If tapping the screen wakes it up then it is likely set for Night mode (How do
I turn off the backlight so that the screen is completely dark?) and is normal
operation.
App Operation
How do I change my units in the app (Fahrenheit/Celsius)?
The thermostat has all my modes but the app does not?
First, make sure that the modes you expect are available from the thermostat,
using the section I do not see modes that I should have. Where are they? if
you are not sure. Then, if the app is out-of-sync with the available modes on
the thermostat, tap “Refresh Configuration” or similar from the app to force
the app to match the thermostat’s available modes.
Use the section Control Thermostat over Bluetooth (Local Access) first to connect to the thermostat over Bluetooth.
The app tells me an invalid password when I try to connect?
The password when you create your account during First Time Setup is used to
make subsequent connections to the thermostat. If your account password
changes then you must tell the thermostat that it has changed. You can do so
by resetting the Bluetooth password on the thermostat itself.
The app says the thermostat cannot be heard and to move closer when I try
to connect?
When I press “Add device”, my device list is empty?
Please see the Bluetooth Troubleshooting article in our EasyTouch RV Knowledge
Bank.
I cannot connect over Wi-Fi but Bluetooth works?
There must be a green Wi-Fi logo on the main screen, otherwise the thermostat
is not currently connected to the internet. This can also be checked from the
thermostat settings. Please see the Wi-Fi Troubleshooting Article in our
EasyTouch RV Knowledge Bank if it is not green.
If it is connected and green then there is an issue with the phone or app. Make sure the phone has internet or cell service. If so, try the Account Troubleshooting article in our EasyTouch RV Knowledge Bank.
