The most convenient, comfortable, healthy way to cool your home using your existing swamp cooler.

Continuous Comfort™ lets you set the exact temperature you want your swamp cooler to blow. Instead of just turning on and off, the Roadrunner Comfort uses a remote sensor to monitor and adjust the water flow to the pads, ensuring the air is cooled to your chosen temperature. This means everyone in your home enjoys continuous comfort, no matter how close or far they are from the vent.

Wire nuts for connection to your cooler’s wiring are included, as well as a spare fuse.

The remote temperature sensor clips to your cooler’s air vent. If your home has ductwork and multiple vents, it can be clipped to any vent within about 30 feet of the controller. The sensor is powered by a battery whose lifetime exceeds five years, so replacing the battery will be an infrequent need. The spring-loaded clip and sensor electronics are designed to last a lifetime, like the controller itself.

The Roadrunner Comfort RC2 comes with either a single or double-wide wall plate, making it compatible with virtually all existing swamp cooler controller installations. Some newer coolers use a low-voltage controller and put more electronics in the cooler itself; these systems use low-voltage wiring to the thermostat which may not be immediately compatible with the Roadrunner Comfort. If you have one of these systems, you probably need the help of an electrician for installation.

Features

Continuous Comfort

The Roadrunner Comfort uses a sensor clipped to your air vent to measure the incoming air temperature. It uses that measurement to vary the pump operation and control the wetness of the cooling pads. By doing this it can achieve a near-constant temperature on the incoming air, mostly within +/- 1 degree Fahrenheit. The Roadrunner Comfort is the ONLY evaporative cooler control with Continuous Comfort™.

Color Touchscreen

The color touchscreen works like the one on your phone, making operating your cooler familiar and easy to use. Screens are sorted by function, and colors used to help guide quicker recognition of control functions and differentiate screens.

Simple On/Off Scheduling

It’s easy to set times for your cooler to automatically turn ON and OFF. Just tap the blue Option ‘button’ and then select ON or OFF time. You’ll come to a screen with swipe up/down rollers to set hours, minutes, and AM/PM. To disable the ON or OFF time, just tap Clear and you’ll be returned to the Options screen with the selected time (ON or OFF) disabled.

Powerful Pause Control

Pause turns off the fan and pump right away, and sets a countdown timer for when it will return to automatic operation (“Auto”).

You can add or subtract 5 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day at a time with each touch of the buttons. Cancel returns you to automatic operation (“Auto” screen).

This lets you set a pause of hours when you leave for work, or days when you leave for vacation, to have it turned back on before you get back home.

Manual Control

Self-Updating

Once you’ve connected it to your home Wifi network, the Roadrunner Comfort controller will check every morning between 1 & 6 AM to see if there is an updated version of its software. If it finds one, it will automatically update itself. This means that it will always stay up to date with the latest features and the best possible performance and security. Without you having to ever think about it. Or pay a fee.

Vertical or horizontal mount

Some homes have a single-wide control box mounted sideways. So we make allowance for that. The Setup screen includes a control for switching between horizontal and vertical display orientation. This makes it compatible with virtually every swamp cooler wall control installation.

Long Battery Life

We guarantee the Sensor battery will last at least 3 years, but we expect it to last 5+ years.

An early low battery warning gives you plenty of time to acquire a replacement so you can enjoy uninterrupted cooling.

Made in New Mexico

Made in New Mexico where evaporative cooling is ubiquitous. Enclosures are 3D printed in Los Ranchos of compostable PLA plastic except the back and two small internal parts that need to withstand higher temperatures. The overseas-sourced electronics are assembled and tested in Los Ranchos. We do extensive life testing and quality testing to make sure that every unit performs as our customers expect and deserve.
