I’m not aware of any Oliver owners applying the Cielo to an inverter a/c install, but reference was made in the below post that those units do not have variable speed air supply fans and the Cielo may provide benefit. I do know that the Cielo thermostats are primarily marketed for mini-split units, many of which use inverter technology. As for your questions, TBD!

Roger, that was my thoughts as well.  For a multi-speed inverter with the ability to slow down both fans to meet an infinate number of settings (Humidity/Temperature/Desired Supply Air Fan), a Cielbo would seem to be not necessary.

However, for RV A/C unit that has multiple supply air fan speeds (Most Do) AND a mult-speed compressor (Cheaper to make than an Inverter style Air Compressor, i.e. an "Old Style" Unit), then the Cielo system would likely be a wonderful mod... so long as it does no harm over time due to so many restarts to the unit self and the soft start system if employed.  Of course that's my hesitance and cause for a pause to access for unintended consequences that generally pop up over time.

For those with an older technology (Not Inverter) I seem to have understood that the Cielo would just shut down the power to the unit in the mode when humidity "give back" from the Evaporor Coil is an issue. 

But if you have more recent design (Inverter A/C), the Cielo independently controls the (Inverter (Compressor Speed), Condensor Fan, and the Supply Air Fans) to meet what ever humidity and temperature settings are needed.

 

In a perfect world, it would work just as you describe. With the Turbro/Pioneer inverter units, at least, this doesn't seem to be the case. Yes, the compressor does ramp up and down as needed but the internal supply fan works no differently than standard compressor units do. The fan has low/med/hi settings and is not a variable speed ECM motor like residential mini-splits have. Probably a money saving move and feature they thought people wouldn't miss in an RV. I sure miss it... especially in heat mode where the fan locks on high speed and doesn't allow any adjustment. Looking forward to testing with a Cielo thermostat soon to see if it can override this feature but my hopes are not high...

As previously posted in the Cielo Breez Max thread: Device works with more than 175+ AC brands covering 1800+ remote controls. To check your air conditioner’s compatibility with the device, go to the following link: http://remotes.cielowigle.com/and choose your brand and remote model number.

There are 32 results listed for Pioneer branded units, if your remote is shown it may boost any hope of it working in your application.

Oh, I have no doubt it will work with my Turbro, I just don't think it will have the ability to override functions programed into the control board of the unit itself.
