Coleman-Mach has launched a smart control center that connects Coleman-Mach air conditioners with most residential smart thermostats.
“Listening to our consumers, we understand having the convenience and control of a residential style smart thermostat would be functionally advantageous for many RVers in almost every class of RV,” said David Gehlen, Coleman-Mach product manager.
Coleman-Mach’s smart control center enables consumers to use most residential smart thermostats to control the Coleman-Mach air conditioners in their coaches or trailers. Consumers can also control most furnaces with the installation of a 24-volt AC relay.
The smart control center facilitates thermostat-compatible smart devices’ use. Consumers can use Alexa, Google Assistant and Wink in their brick-and-mortar home and their RVs.
“As committed partners, we are supporting our end users by creating a bridge to connect the many beneficial features of smart residential thermostats and the design conditions of recreational vehicle components,” Gehlen said. “The Coleman-Mach smart control center is that bridge creating comfortable RV interiors that are easy to control with products that are intuitive to use. We never stop working for our customers, and we never stop pushing for better design that elevates the RV experience.”
Coleman-Mach’s smart control center works by replacing the existing control box within an AC unit. The smart control center comes ready to install straight out of the box, Airxcel said. The smart control center is not a wireless device, so the AC must be controlled via a wall thermostat for compatibility.
Access to Wi-Fi and adequate RV power are necessary to integrate.
Coleman-Mach manufactures RV air conditioners, heat pumps, thermostats and climate control accessories. Located in Wichita, Kansas, the company is part of the Airxcel family of brands. Airxcel has 11 facilities across the U.S. and Europe. Find out more about Airxcel.
