- How to enable the Pro 1 thermostat for temperature override and lowering the cooling temperature limits if stuck in a hot hotel room.
If your 1 purpose in life was to share that video, you are going to heaven for sure! Thank you!
100% agree with this sentiment
Hey man! I appreciate you so much for this! The hotel I'm at is capped at 70 for cooling and now it's at 63, you're awesome!
Haha you're welcome. These days I override almost every room I go into.
@@gringoloco8576 I’ve got a few you tube videos saved on my emails to reference occasionally. Thanks so much.
@@pauld2502 lol yeah I reference this page all the time when I run into a thermostat a year later I haven't overriden in awhile and need a refresher. There's a couple other guys that have posted also but really not too many. I'm trying to make this a one stop page for as many tstats as possible.
Thank you! I travel for work and just started running into these thermostats. Huge help!!
Thank you. We are in New York and our room was stuck in the 80s. It's been miserable.
holiday inn had it limited to 68F, thats too hot! did the buttons and lowered it to 57, i immediately heard the compressor kick on! thank you, thumbs up!!
68 definitely too hot for me as well.
Man you are amazing. Exactly what I needed. It's 98° currently in GA and I'm staying at a Holliday inn and it wouldn't go below 69° and being so hot it won't go below 76 until 8 pm. I work in the heat all day I'm not trying to sleep in it. Lol 😂 thanks
@@jayboley9683 haha welcome. Yep I travel all the time for work and if I can't find a video on a thermostat, I make one.
Thank you so much!! My apartment was set at 90 for some reason, even using the wall ac, and had no idea how to change it.
Thank you. Short and to the point. Worked great. 70° wasn't gonna cut it
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not my exact model, but the advice here made it easy enough to figure out on the one I do have. Thank you so much for allowing me to return my apartment to an icebox! 👏
Thanks! Just found this one in a dumpy Hampton Inn. I'll be looking for the constant fan option.
Worked perfectly. Thank you!!!
Awesome video. I’m in a Courtyard Marriott in NJ and they had the AC min set to 65. No way! I’m like you I like it cold. I followed your instructions and changed the AC temp to 52. Thank you so much.
Nice I'm not a professional videographer with my cell phone but when it's midnight and you can't sleep....I try to give ppl the tools needed to get some rest. I try to record and post on here with every new model I run into.
Vive seems to work the same way except I can't figure out how to make the fan stay on. The Amana unit itself has a button that says "Constant Fan" --- but it's not working from the unit & I can't figure how to make it work from the wall thermostat...
Anyone know anything about how to make the Constant Fan feature work on a Pro or Vive?
For anyone wondering... If you have one of these hunk of junks with only a "System ON and OFF" System switch, and Only a "FAN and AUTO" Button... Heres how you configure the heat:
System switch to ON > Press and hold + - buttons for three seconds > Use TOP BUTTON to switch menus (I know it doesnt looks like a button) > SL setting is the heating Limit going up.
Theres also an SG settings that I have no idea what it means.
System switch to OFF > Press and hold + - buttons for three seconds > Use TOP BUTTON to switch menus > HE setting is the heating swing, Which I believe is how far away from a temp the system allows before kicking on to adjust it.
I believe this particular unti what ever its called doesnt have a Cooling limit, because its not connected or doesnt have the ability to cool. So the temp will always try to be at the temp set, within the swing limits.
THANK UUUU!! Could you please put a link to the manual or plz tell us what the codes mean? I woke up sweating & found you here & was able to fix it! Thank you SO MUCH!! We "guests" shouldn't have to be paying these kinds of prices for hotels where you can't even get the room comfort where *you* want it!
I travel ALOT & I'm beginning to notice it seems to be the worst in hotels that are NOT "corporate owned".
Consumer beware. Ask if the ac works right before you give them your money! The only thing they will understand is a hit in their wallets!
Please tell us which code overrides the unit's FAN from turning on & off aaaaall night long!! I can take the compressor turning on & off - but when the whole unit turns off & on all night it's *MISERABLE*! I'm one of those light sleepers that needs to have the fan able to be constanting circulating air & making some "white noise" - (especially when the hotel is close to a highway!)
Can you tell us all out here in A/C Hotel Hell how to make the fan component run constant?
THANK U for the tips!
Fan on , runs all the time. Fan auto, only comes up when calling for heat or cooling.
Sir, you're a lifesaver!
Yeah, you do like it cold. 76* is my perfect temperature. Thanks for the video.
76 I am roasting wow. You're welcome
wtf ..76 only feels good if you've been in 100 degree heat all day.
This was extremely helpful!
THANK YOU!
Thank you! Youre the best! It was too hot for me
On alot of the digital thermostat s they have a 5 minute time delay builtin. So thats why he said it sometimes takes a minute or 2 to come on.
Lifesaver - thanks for the tutorial!
Perfect! Works like a charm.
Finally I need to change ours it was on 80!
lifesaver! thanks man!
Worked perfectly!!!
TY! A difficult unit to program. Funny, this is a Non Programmable Unit?
Really? Talk about anger!😠
Suppose to be 0. Is the Temp plus o minus the number you put from 0 to 5. If its 68 degrees plus 2 will read 70.
I have this exact unit. It has a Three (3) step degree. How to remove this degree with blue light. It is not a need. How to bypass this step? TY!
I love you
Can someone describe how the first setting works? The 'Cal" (Calibration Setting). I'm looking for a setting that could fix this issue: My thermostat doesn't seem to turn on the cooling fan until the temperature reaches 2 degrees warmer than what I have it set to. Example: It's 75 in the house. I set it to 73 and the cooling fan kicks on. Once it gets to 73 the cooling fan kicks off (because I have it set to 'Auto'). Then the AC stays shut off until it gets 75. Once it gets to 75 it kicks on the cooling fan. It's just a lot of fluctuating temperatures (too hot - too cold and drafty). Is the 'Cal' setting what I could use to make the cooling fan kick on sooner when the temp reaches say 1/2 or 1 degree hotter than set to? (Note: I understand this could be a little more wasteful energy wise, but I'm grateful to currently be in a place that cost isn't the biggest concern. Just need to keep my wife happy lol :) thanks for any input you have!
I checked a manual online...so basically +2 causes the display to show 72 when you have it set at 70, etc. To get the thermostat display to reflect the actual temp of the room, set CAL to zero. It's to trick hotel guests into thinking a certain temp is set when it's however many degrees above or below it.
You're looking for cooling differential or swing (different thermostats call it different things). That is how far away from the setpoint the temperature rises before it kicks on again. It depends on your thermostat brand and model whether it is adjustable. The Pro1 thermostats have that setting (I've looked at their manuals). From what I've seen, it is adjustable on many brands, except for Honeywell which uses Cycles Per Hour instead of swing to prevent the issue you're speaking of. Just a different way of controlling temperature. Some thermostats will turn on/off based on how far away from setpoint the temperature gets, others will try to keep you very close to the setpoint, but limit how many times they can do it in an hour to prevent cycling the equipment too much (Honeywell will try to cycle about 3 times max per hour to keep you at your setpoint, but does vary it based on its internal algorithm as it learns how fast your house heats and cools.).
which setting is the constant fan? I have a noisy neighbor. menu thing isnt working. wonder if its the toggle on the back.
I am not sure on the Pro 1.
Just had a question can you not set a schedule for these models? Like have temp set M through F 8 to 5?
I don't know....I'd see if you can find a manual for it online. I'm a traveler who likes to sleep cool
...my primary objective is the temp override.
thanks!!!!!
Wait is it negative for cold and positive or hot?
My touching the + and - did not show any numbers
Room temp is stuck on 69 and AC never ever turns on
What can I do to fix that?
Follow the video above. Talk to the front desk and ask them to lower it or tell them you want to switch rooms if AC unit isn't working. You could also put a lamp or a phone w map on and a towel one it and the thermostat to fool it. Be careful of fire hazard.
After watching you again, show how to get your degrees, my unit only goes up to 2:00, then down to 2.
Where are the actual setting of degrees? You have it on your system. I seem not. Why?
Is yours possibly in Celsius?
@@gringoloco8576 Thank You so much. Would you believe the Corporate Company couldn't tell me this? And they have the JOB? 👍
Hello. Quick question. My 701 unit is set at 78 but currently the room temperature is 67. The display reads HEAT ON. I noticed during the day this is the usual. But at night time it’s really hot. Have to turn it down usually. Any suggestions? Maybe need a different unit for a 1900 sq ft house?
That is goofy. I honestly don't know. I would try to find the manual and see if you can figure it out.
I'm curious how this is down voting...if you downvote say why. Are some of you having trouble with the menus? This thermostat is VERY tricky. You have to hit the button +and - just right and at the same time.
It’s the hotel downvoting!🤣
LOLOL!! Yeah!! It's the backwards village mentality hotel owners that's down voting it!
I gave you a thumbs up bro but i better go try it 😉
I just cannot do it. Hitting + & - at the same time I cannot do. After 30 tries I think it's impossible. Why would anyone make something like this? It's less than a year old and since last cold spell the settings somehow changed, even though I never touched it.
Me to !! I’m so irritated!!!
Hi what if this doesn’t work
I tried this last night and the CR or CA don’t change
@@tamerahines3875 you want to make sure to exactly tap both buttons at the same time to cycle thru the menus. CA and CR don't matter AS much. You want the cool or hot limit which are the options beyond CA and CR. So just try to click it again, remember you have to be perfect and tap both buttons at the exact same time to bump the menus. Find the cold and hot temp limits and just change those
If that still doesn't work you can do 2 other options.
1. Go to the window unit and if it's GE or AMANA it's easy to hack and disconnect it from the wall thermostat...I have videos on that.
2. Trick the thermostat. Put a lamp with a warm bulb (non led preferred) right under the thermostat. Or take a phone and turn GPS on so it stays on all night and hang it next to the thermostat. Sometimes I put a towel over it. Here you're trying to trick the thermostat into thinking it's warmer than it is so it runs all night. Be careful w this method due to fire risk
@@tamerahines3875 you want the HE OR CL menus. Also make sure the other switches are in the exact spot as I have them. "Off" etc for those 2 bottom sliders.
I have this unit and it says the set point is at 72 and it’s on 77 and not going down . Can anyone help ?
Were you able to follow the instructions in the video and lower the cooling limit? These are kinda difficult you have to hit the buttons just right to get into the menus. Sometimes an AC unit is just so bad or hasnt been cleaned that you would have to switch rooms or hotels as it won't be able to cool.
@@gringoloco8576 yea so I had to have someone come out and they added 2 gallons of coolant so now it’s working . Thank you !
Mines not going up when I tap tap tap I hate it this is worse thermostat
The part where I say tap in the video is just to get to the right menu setting. You have to hold the + and - down at the same time for 3 to 4 seconds to get into the settings. Then tap both + and - at the exact same time about 3 times slowly until it says HE. Thats your setting to raise heat. Then hit the + button to increase the temp.
@@gringoloco8576 the long hold gets me in the setting but the quick tap of both to cycle the menu doesn’t work for me.
@@ccaldwellre I am having the same problem, I can get to the settings, but I can not get it to switch through the settings... any other way to do it?
@@triciacanez774 this is a late reply but for others reading in future...I haven't run into it where I could not change it. I know it's VERY precise though. You might have to try a few times to hit the + and - button at the exact, exact, exact same time. If one or the other is a half second late on the button press it doesn't work to cycle thru.
@@ccaldwellre late reply but the tap has to be perfect. You have to hit both buttons super precisely at the same time. Sometimes it takes me multiple tries.
Mines turn to C I want to change it to F
Download the manual, the option is there. Or pull out Google and do a temp conversion
I found it thank you there is a clip on the back for some reason was switch to C THANK YOU
I found it thank you there is a clip on the back for some reason was switch to C THANK YOU
What are you even talking about???
What are you having trouble with? The video title describes the issue.
@@gringoloco8576 I can’t program my thermostat properly and none of the things you’ve mentioned are even anything I see on it. Maybe it’s the wrong thermostat? I’m just trying to get back to default and not schedule anything.
Gonna mess with the next person and put it to min 85 degrees
Now that's just cruel. We have enough heat from the hotel owners trying to cheap out already!
Thanks for the video! Here is the link for the manual.
