The official Eberspächer app is free of charge and enables the convenient operation of one or more Eberspächer pre-heaters via your Smartphone. Access the Eberspächer pre-heater in your vehicle conveniently and quickly from anywhere in the world. Or control the pre-heaters in a fleet of up to ten vehicles with a single Smartphone. Start and stop the heating process directly, request the status of the pre-heater and the vehicle interior temperature, or pre-program up to three events for limitless comfort. For example, the pre-heater will start up fully automatically the following morning, letting you sleep in after returning late from your business trip. The app also comes with attractive bonus features: the weather service can automatically send you a message when the temperature forecast for the next day falls below the level you set. And you can access the most important news from Eberspächer in a reader-friendly format while you’re on the go. All you need do to use the free app is install an EasyStart Call (GSM receiver) and an Eberspächer pre-heater in your vehicle. Basic information on the use of feedback messages: If you have activated the feedback feature in “Vehicle settings”, each time you send a text message to your heater, your heater will send you feedback by text message, which must be copied into the app. When the feedback text message arrives, tap the note (text message) at the top of the screen and copy the text to the clipboard. Double click on the main field at the bottom centre of the iPhone to return to the app. The feedback message is automatically copied to the app by touching the “Finished” button. Due to the limitations of the IOS operating system, this is the only way to copy the feedback messages to the app. OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN FEATURES: - Add up to 10 pre-heaters (divided into 2 pools of 5 devices each) - Operate Eberspächer water and air heaters - Give each added pre-heater a name of your choice - Upload a thumbnail photo for each added pre-heater for better identification - Switch on the pre-heater with indication of the running time - Set a target temperature (for air heaters) - Activate the ventilation function in summer - Status request to check whether the pre-heater is still running - Request the interior temperature in the vehicle (if the temperature sensor which is included in the scope of supply of the EasyStart Call is connected) - Activate and deactivate automatic messages for each command sent (see also instructions for the use of feedback messages) - Program the timer with up to three events, incl. activation and deactivation - Weather service for automatic notification when the temperature falls below an individually settable temperature level - Eberspächer News area - 10 different languages can be set (German, English, French, Russian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Chinese) NOTES: By downloading the app you accept our Terms of Use which you can view at [http://www.eberspaecher.com/index.php?id=7492]. The app is an additional tool to simplify the operation of the EasyStart Call. Changes in the operating system IOS by the provider are not always apparent for us, therefore, no liability can be accepted for compatibility with your smartphone. The embedded weather alert is a feature of external origin and its provision does not lie within Eberspächer’s influence. The data reliability can therefore not be guaranteed.
