Dometic FreshJet FJX and FJZ Air Con

A Sensa bridge puts your Dometic FreshJet rooftop air conditioner on the Climate tab, so you can switch it on, pick a mode, set the temperature and fan, and work its lights.

Dometic FreshJet FJX and FJZ Air Con

Included in Pro and Vision.

Sensa Connection Method​

Network: Wi-Fi.

Installation​

Mount a Sensa bridge near each rooftop unit, one bridge per air conditioner, within reach of your van's Wi-Fi.

Configuration​

The FreshJet talks Bluetooth, but it needs a secure paired link that a Bluetooth proxy cannot carry. So a small Sensa bridge pairs with the air conditioner over Bluetooth and joins your van's network over Wi-Fi. You need one bridge per air conditioner, mounted near the rooftop unit.

The FreshJet FJX (Series 4 and 7) and the newer FJZ both work. The older FreshJet FJ, which has only an infrared remote, does not.

Join your Wi-Fi​

  1. On your phone, join the Wi-Fi network named ss-setup-dfx. The password is sensasetup.
  2. Pick your van's Wi-Fi network from the list and enter its password. It must be a 2.4 GHz network.
  3. Power the bridge off and on again. It then joins your network.

Adding to Sensa Nomad​

  1. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick the bridge under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan.
  2. Tap the cog on the bridge's row. It shows the pairing status, with Pair and Forget buttons.
  3. On the air conditioner's control panel, hold the + and - buttons together for about 3 seconds, until the display shows BL.
  4. Press Pair. Once paired, the air conditioner appears as Dometic FreshJet FJX/FJZ.

The bridge remembers the air conditioner and reconnects to it on its own after a restart. If you replace the unit, press Forget, then pair again.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see​

  • An air conditioner card on the Climate tab with a dial to set the temperature, plus power, mode and fan.
  • A compact version on the Habitation Home screen. See Choosing what appears on Home.
  • Interior and Roof buttons for the unit's own lights, on both cards. A button appears only when your unit reports that light.

Good to know​

  • If the bridge loses the air conditioner, for example after a power cut, you get an Air conditioner not connected alarm. Check the unit has power. If the alarm stays, pair it again: hold + and - on its panel until it shows BL, then press Pair on the bridge's row in Settings.
  • Heaters and air conditioners can be set from a routine, with the modes your unit actually has. See Routines.
