RV Thermostat that can be Operated by Iphone App

Dometic has a bluetooth enabled version of the hew CT model, though I'm not sure if it's out yet. Has Android and iOs apps.

But there is already a market for RV specific products, just take a walk thru Camping World is one example.

not when the factory wants 300,000 pieces. CW sells what people buy lots of. I'll bet if you took a straw pole on RV.net you would find very few even remotely interested in that since it requires continuous wifi to work other than standalone (although it would be fun).

If you really want to do it, that drawing above will get you in the ballpark

I have an Emerson Sensi at home and it works great over WiFi and phone. I emailed them earlier and got the following reply. Should work for other brands as well.

My Honeywell can run dual compressors but it obviously has no idea what dual zone is since it's only one stat, meaning you can't independently control your 'zones'.

There simply isn't enough market to build something RV specific. You're better off figuring out what might be able to adapt. You'll also need to supply whatever you use with 24vac in order to keep it alive. That's going to be another engineering project for dry camping, especially making AC if the stat can't take DC

Bingo that sounds great, never thought about the Bluetooth.

The big reason I want a thermostat to operate with my Iphone is during Vegas hot summers months I can turn the temperature down inside RV from my home before going out to RV and to turn thermostat back up when I forget to adjust back up for electric savings, I leave my RV plugged in at home but try as much as possible to not let the a/c run all day during the hot summer days.

It would be nice if some tech guru would get into the RV after market and start offering us this tech stuff we can get for our homes.

I looked at these T-stats at Home Depot Canada the other day. They all require 24 Volt supply from furnace, so they are a no go for an RV with 12V controls.
I like the idea that I could turn off furnace at night and then turn it back on from the warmth of the bed under the duvet. Wait 5 minutes and the camper would be nice and warm.

This is what we have at our home. A little pricey for an RV at $130 and like others have said, you need internet. If it's at your home plugged in and can use your home internet, then you should be able to use it as intended. At an RV park, you are back to manual changes. Good luck

RVing is getting more technical all the time. :B
