Can you post a closeup of the black object?

Does this help?

 

[norty1]

No, we need to see what is in the center of that black object Any way to put some light on the front of the picture?

Also is this inside or out?

Here is another picture with a flashlight on it. It is just inside the front door on the wall to the rear bathroom.

There is another one outside under the outside speaker below the awning. The second picture will show you the size of the piece I am trying to identify.

 

[norty1]

It is some kind of sensor. I'll do some research and maybe someone with a newer rig will recognize it.

 

[Christine_445]

Thank you for responding.

 

[norty1]

It would help if we knew the year and model of your TT.

That piece in the center looks to be a cap and most likely removable as there is a ring showing up around it. See if it pops out. If afraid of breaking it, take out the screws and see what’s behind it on the inside one.

Here is a link to a old thread. It looks like a temperature sensor. Be careful not to lose the wires in the wall if you open it up. Read the thread on it.

A/C Thermostat problem

I have a 2022 Pinnacle with two air conditioners with a BM Pro system. One A/C works great, but the other A/C's thermostat temperature fluctuates 2 to 3 degree in seconds, which turns on the the A/C for a second or less or less than 30 seconds at times depending on what the temperature is...

I suggest you complete the signature info on your user info to let members see what rig you have. It will be very helpful when asking questions.

We like questions!

Whatever you do, please do NOT push that button!

norty1, you are so experienced and have great memory. Those are exactly what you said. They are indoor and outdoor temperature sensors! You can buy them online and they have a 18” lead on the back side.
Great job!

That thing is called a THERMISTOR. I am most certain it has to do with your A/C...not sure about heat. I just know it is a temperature sensor.

Curious how it works
Since it's a temperature sensor for the AC, I guess the thermostat is not located in a central area? Does it sense the heat as well? The removeable looking cap is strange...looks like you plug something in?
How does it work I wonder
I have a ceiling mounted classic AC that is controlled by the knobs on the unit, not the thermostat which is for heat only. You'd think I'd have one of those sensors for my set up

 

[norty1]

They are mostly found on newer rigs. Mine is old but I read about them as many even that have them don’t know.

 

[Kevin Cooper]

norty1, I’m thinking that these have no real connection to the T-stat. They probably are for all the “Smart” electronic gizmos so that you can tell the indoor and outdoor temperatures on you Smart display or your Smart Phone. Sound right?

 

[norty1]

I agree. They likely work with the electronic gizmos that monitor and display. A way to check would be to verify if the ac and heat are controlled by thermostats.
