Thanks to all for the feedback, I will order and install when we get back home to Florida.

I also installed the microair thermostat in my coach. Has anyone figured out how to get the aqua hot floor heat to be controlled by it? Heat Pumps on the roof airs all work fine, electric heater works fine, just the Aqua hot heat isn't kicking on. I'm sure it's operator/ programmer error, I just can't figure it out. Figured I'd ask here before calling microair.

I can over think things sometimes....
Turns out that my zone 1 runs the kitchen floor AH heat, and my zone 3(corrected) runs the bedroom AH heat.... and there's no need to run the rooftop fans except for circulation.
FWIW, I would have set zone 2 for the kitchen AH, and Zone 3 for the bedroom, but that's just me. Additionally, if something isn't working, always cycle the chassis and house batteries off, then on again. Also, the 240 electric element on the AH can't keep up, which you guys probably already knew!
And run the burner on the AH! Everything seems to work fine then
Forgive us Texans for not knowing how heat works

Richard, were you able to get this thermostat working with your SCS basement units? Inquiring minds want to know… :-)

It moved to later this winter, so I have not tried. But I have no doubts they will work just fine.

I have four rooftop units, each with with a sensor which I assume measures the ambient at the air intake. The Micro-air seems to get stuck not turning on the compressor.
I contacted micro-air with this and inability to connect bluetooth so I could change router name to a 2.4 ghz connection. reset all did not work.
unplugging cat cable worked for an hour or so, problem came back. any help with these items appreciated. Contacted micro-air online but they did not followup.

Have you tried to set them at the furthest cold or warm(like 50 or 85, whichever you are trying to use)?
The set up can be a little confusing if you have the floor heating with the AH as well. Can you send the settings(pictures) you are using for each zone? I can run out to the bus tomorrow and show you what I am talking about, but when you go to turn each unit on or off, you also most likely set up the Heat Pump and or Aqua hot. On my bus, this got a bit confusing as it's controlled with the thermostat, but most certainly AH floor heat. So 2 of the roof units will not cycle the compressor on heat as it's using the AH and the floor heat to heat. BTW, this is in addition to the electric heat on a separate t-stat in the galley, and in addition to the separate AH T-stat that controls the floor heat in the bath. I know... confusing.

Each is set with the snowflake symbol. Does cool for a while. Floor heat is separate and control is off.

Have you tried moving the sensor away from the air intake?

If you're on snowflake, then you're just trying to cool. That's great because it eliminates some other things. When the compressor shuts off for the first time, is it because it reached its target temperature?
Then it will not "restart"?
Does it happen on all 4 zones? Does it cycle on/off/on if you only have 2 zones running?
I agree with @Richard and first check the probe.
On the bluetooth.... it's marginal at best. It seems to time out instantly if your phone goes to sleep. You downloaded the EasytouchRV and tried to connect through it and the directions, right? Mine had problems in the beginning, IIRC. I rebooted my phone, deleted the current device(which I had so thoughtfully named "newell"), then added it back again after cycling all of the power to the bus(shore, house, and chassis). Believe it or not, this solved the connection issue and the AH floor heat issue. Since then it's been ok, but I just noticed today when I went to take some pictures that the AH Floor heat wasn't working again. Since I have the bathroom tile all ripped out, I may have inadvertently disconnected something. I did grab some pictures of the screens so it would be fresh on my mind.
