We’re staying at Boyd’s in Key West and found  ourselves in the middle of a Airstream rally. Micro-Air was the primary vender and was pretty busy installing the EasyStart on the Shiny Trailers. Since we already have the EasyStart and I am a sucker for a “Rally Discount” I purchased a EasyTouch BT thermostat for our Lance. Yes, I know, a fool and his money are soon departed. However, I hate getting up in the wee hours stumbling over the dog to fiddle with the thermostat. The installation was a ten minute easy peasy match the colors and download the app to phone. Woohoo! I can now just reach for the phone and one 5 second peak adjust the air! I’m a happy camper. I would not purchase this for the WiFi  feature claims as I really don’t think you should be relying on this setup for a pet safety  device. However, the BT has been flawless and that’s all I wanted, You can certainly purchase the same functionality for less with other brands.

Available in the LOA store here

Nice! Can you set this to heat and cool at the same time? For example, my smart thermostat at home allows me to set a high and low point, it turns the heat on when the inside temp dips to 65 and the ac on when the inside temp rises to 75.

When camping we tend to use the AC to cool off the rig to put the kids to bed, even if the outside temps are dropping. We found on our last trip this meant when the overnight temps kept dropping we would wake up cold because when we went to bed the t-stat was set to cool.

I don’t find it has that capability like a Nest. Basically, it’s able to Bluetooth to your phone or iPad all of the controls of the thermostat in a fancy app. The advantage is being able to not wake all the way up and trip over the dog to turn the heat on. I can open one eye, hit the app and the red flames icon and go back to sleep. Plus the large print color display is easy to see vs the factory.

Ok. Guess I'll stick with the stock thermostat for now. I can always (try) to make my wife do it (which means I'll get out of bed and do it). Thanks!

The LOA also has this in our store.  We will also sell it for the "Rally Price."  We just cant advertise it for that price.  Let me know in this thread if you want one and I will send you a code to get that price.

The code will look something like this  rallyprice  or maybe exactly like that.

I have both the EasyStart and the EasyTouch thermostat. Both have performed flawlessly for over two years. I continue to recommend both. I am not sure if the thermostat has a brightness adjustment however it seems just right to me. The BT feature is worth the entire cost of the devise for me. I use it to control the thermostat in the lance from my phone when awaiting a trip in my driveway at home.
