Congratulations on your new RV!   The iRV Control app allows a fast and easy Bluetooth connection to your RV’s smart control panel. Your features will vary according to your RV model, and any options installed (or not installed).    These features may include: 1. Lighting and Utility Control:   Turn the light zones on or off, and control other utilities, like your water pump, water heaters and tank heaters of your RV.   2. Slide Out and Awning Control: Control your RV’s slideouts and awnings from the app. Remember, there is a .5 second delay when using the slide or awning controls. In addition, there is a 12V safety lock from your trailer connection or vehicle's ignition, to prohibit slide control when traveling.   3. Up to 6 Tank Level Monitors:   Display fresh, black, grey, and galley tank levels of your RV, remotely, and in real time from your phone.    4. Battery Monitor:   Display your RV's battery level from your phone.   5. Easy Bluetooth Connection:  Our fast and easy Bluetooth pairing is the best in the business. When connected to your RV’s control panel, the app will automatically load your RV’s control buttons for all connected features.    6. Remote HVAC control:    Our iRVCT7 and iRVCT5 touchscreen controllers have 1-4 zones of HVAC control available. Our app allows you to set each zone’s temperature, and also set scheduled timers.    NOTE: Each time you pair with the control panel, your phone must be less than one foot away from your control panel, after pairing you can control the RV functions throughout your campsite via Bluetooth.    Thank you, we hope you enjoy your RV, and the outdoors!
