Eberspacher 801 question
Discussion
When i apply power to my eberspacher d2 with 801 controller, it defaults to heating off, you need to press the button to start heating. i have a gsm operated remote relay, so I would like it to go into thermostatically regulated heating mode as soon as it receives power, so when I text my van to turn the heating on for 30 minutes it is toasty for me getting in, but because you need to press the button every time this doesn't work if you wire it in the normal way.
1 way to bypass this is to apply 12v to the yellow wire, the problem is this bypasses the 801s temperature regulation, meaning sometimes you get into the van and its 35 degrees and you are sweating so the preferrable outcome would be to reprogram or rewire the 801 so that when you apply 12v to the small red wire it defaults to heating running, with the thermostat set to whatever we left it at.
Is this possible?
If it isnt the only other workaround I could think of would be wiring a seperate mechanical stat or battery operated domestic programmer and putting it in series with my gsm relays connection to the yellow wire.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
