OneControl® Wireless (formerly myRV®)

We Love our new RV Forester MBS 2401W
But I must say the OneControl® Wireless (formerly myRV®) is a big pain in the but our previous RV was a trailer that had a much more easy to use system with a small remote so you could go outside to watch when using the jacks or slide with this system you have to use you phone which can take awhile to connect. If they had just added the slide and the jacks to the small removable pad near the door that would have been fine. I also don’t like have to go the the controller or my phone just to turn on some of the lights. 😬

I agree, and while I have the 'old school' electrical system that uses actual physical switches to do 'everything' ... I've delivered some of the newer coaches with these new 'panels' and 'remotes' that require an instruction book just to turn on a simple light.

I delivered one coach, one of the largest diesel pushers, with a rear bath and rear closet, and NEVER could find a switch or way to turn OFF the lights in the closet. They were on when I picked up the unit from the factory, and were on the whole three days of delivery from the factory to the dealer. : / Crazy.

I will say, though, that even our own 'old school' 2014 coach took a little while to 'find' all the switches...even the MAIN LIVING area lights when you first come into the coach. The switch is not down near the entry door, where you'd 'assume' it would be, but is way up HIGH, under the upper cabinets, where you have to have ALREADY entered the coach to reach! Crazier, still.
Matter of fact, we have a total of 8 lights switches that are under upper cabinets, but low enough that you would NEVER actually physically 'see' them if you didn't know they were there, or stoop down low enough to 'accidentally' find them, which is ultimately the ONLY way we did! Fun.

I agree 112%. We have had our FR for 3 years with this system and I still am not a fan. The latest app update for Android phones has made it much worse (logging into the MH's wifi, w a i t i n g for PIN screen, w a i t i n g for home screen, w a i t i n g for any response.
