FXC Control

I have a Xantrex Freedom X 2000 watt inverter in my motorhome. Came with standard remote panel. I am a techno guy and upgraded to the Bluetooth remote panel. I like the information it displays and the remote Bluetooth capability. However, the Bluetooth Does not automatically start up after app is closed. Very inconvenient. You must repair the device when you open the app. I contacted Xantrex customer service and I am not at all happy with the response. They advised me it was designed that way to save the battery. they shut off the Bluetooth every time the app shuts off. This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars

I bought this hoping that it would enable me to turn on and off my inverter remotely. But it doesn’t. I guess that was an unrealistic expectation on my part. It does offer some pretty useful information and configuring the inverter via the app is 100x better than doing it through the normal Remote. But also the fact that it won’t stay paired with your mobile device is absolutely insane. You have to go to the remote and re-enable the pairing mode before it will connect again. Most people that would want to have this Bluetooth feature or people that don’t want it to have to install the remote up inside their RV or something like that. Often you would end up putting this remote right next to the inverter but with this set up you still have to go to the remote to get anything to work on your app. that is more than an oversight, This is flat out a design flaw.

Installed a freedom 2000 Xc in my Navion and added the Bluetooth remote. The app provides excellent information but if you close the app, you need to go back to the panel to reconnect the Bluetooth. If the app would remember the connection, this would get a 5 star review
