RedVision (User App) — What It Does, How to Pair, and What to Check if It Won’t Connect

The RedVision by Redarc user app lets you monitor and control a compatible RedVision system from your phone via Bluetooth. What you see in the app depends on what RedVision hardware is installed and how the system was configured in your van/vehicle.

What you can do in the user app

Features vary by hardware and setup.

  • Battery monitoring: level/state of charge, voltage, temperature, and charge rates
  • Control loads: switch things like lights, water pumps, compressors and inverters (if wired/configured)
  • Automation: trigger multiple actions at once (example: “camp mode” / “sleep mode” style scenes)
  • Tank & temperature: view tank levels and ambient temperature (if sensors are installed)
  • System info: diagnostics and firmware updates (where supported)

How to pair the app to the RedVision display

  1. Install the RedVision user app on your phone.
  2. Enable Bluetooth (some phones also require Location Services to be enabled for scanning).
  3. On the RedVision display: open Settings → go to Display Settings → select Bluetooth to show the Pairing Ready screen.
  4. In the app: open the menu (☰) → under Devices tap Add (⊕).
  5. Select your system from the list (match the number shown on the display), accept the disclaimer, then accept the pairing prompt if it appears.
  6. Enter the passcode shown on the display and tap Pair/OK.
  7. First-time pairing can take a few minutes while the app learns your system configuration. Next time is usually much faster.

Good habit: pair from inside the app (rather than trying to connect from your phone’s Bluetooth settings).

Common issues & quick fixes

No devices appear when scanning

  • Move closer to the display/module and try Rescan.
  • Make sure Bluetooth is on, and turn on Location Services if your phone requires it for discovery.
  • Confirm the RedVision display is sitting on the Bluetooth Pairing Ready screen.

Paired once, now it won’t reconnect

  • Close the app completely and reopen it (especially if you walked out of range).
  • If it still won’t play nice: remove the device inside the app and re-pair using the steps above.

The app looks “limited” compared to what I expected

That usually means the hardware isn’t installed for that feature (for example: tanks/sensors not fitted), or those outputs weren’t configured in the system. The app only shows what the RedVision system supports and has been set up to report/control.

Compatibility note

The user app works when paired with RedVision-enabled REDARC hardware, and the exact mix of screens/features depends on your build. If you’re unsure what’s installed, check your build sheet or ask whoever wired the system.
