At SSR Now

[FANOFDSNY]

Does anyone know if there are motion sensors in the Villas at SSR for the air conditioning??? We've been here for 6 days and have noticed when returning from the parks late afternoon our room is warm and muggy... once in our rooms for a bit the A.C cools down the room... same thing happens at night, it gets down right hot and muggy at night but once we get up and move around in the morning the A.C kicks on and it starts to cool off. Didn't notice this last November at BCV so not sure what's going on....

Thanks
FANOFDSNY.

Yes, there is some form of motion sensor. As resorts get renovations, they upgrade thermostats to these "energy efficient" ones. (Like OKW last year)

There is some form of a code to turn off the sensor, ot you can call maintenance.

It is frustrating. I once recall swimsuits not drying at all hanging in the shower. Had to set them outside, even though its against the rules.

Here are a couple of directions to help you . . . .


Disney A/C - Bypassing the Auto Downturn

On the thermostat push the power button and the down arrow (that adjusts the temp) at the exact same time. If you do this correctly there willbe the letters "bp" where the temp numbers usually are. You are now bypassing the sensors in the room. You can then set the temp to whatever you want and it keeps the room that cold whether you are in it or not.


The sensor by-pass for our kind of thermostat was simple--I just pressed the "off" button and both the temperature "up/down" buttons all at the same time. "BP' appears in the thermostat, and then it operates as most other themostats in most other hotels in the US

Or Try:

The thermostat has two buttons on the left (ON/OFF and AUTO/FAN) and two buttons on the right (UP and DOWN)

1) Press the ON/OFF and AUTO/FAN buttons together. The digital display will change to 'CA'.

2) Press the ON/OFF and DOWN button together. The digital display will change to 'OR" (or something similar).

You have just deactivated the motion sensor. This will last for three days at which point you will have to repeat the process.


TO CHANGE AC THERMOSTAT SETTINGS THE THERMOSTAT HAS TO BE PUT INTO "SERVICE MODE" IT IS SIMPLE TO DO BY PRESSING THE FOLLOWING KEYS ON THE FRONT OF THE THERMOSTAT.

EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:

1. PRESS (AND KEEP PRESSED) THE F/C KEY

2. PRESS (AND RELEASE) THE OFF/AUTO KEY

3. PRESS (AND RELEASE) THE DISPLAY KEY.

4. RELEASE THE F/C KEY.

UPON SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THIS SEQUENCE, THE LCD WILL DISPLAY PAR (PARAMETER) AND THE PARAMETER NUMBER.

1. PRESS THE UP ARROW KEY AND SCROLL UNTIL # 6 APPEARS. (NEW MODELS # 24)

2. PRESS THE OFF/AUTO KEY

3. THE CURRENT LOW TEMPERATURE IS DISPLAYED.

4. PRESS THE DOWN ARROW KEY AND SCROLL UNTIL THE DESIRED ROOM
TEMPERATURE APPEARS

5. PRESS THE F/C KEY

You can then set the temp to whatever you want and it keeps the room that cold whether you are in it or not. The maintenance man said that you might have to do this once a day as the thermostat tends to go back to sensor mode after 24 hours. The CM that did this for us said it was not a problem doing this as they do it for people all the time.

or

1) Press the two left buttons together (on/off - auto/fan)
2) Press the top left botton and the bottom right button (on/off - down arrow)

You will see 6p on the readout. You are now set for about 4 days. Repeat the procedure then.


Hope one of these helps . .

Thank you DiznyDad

I'm glad they have these sensors - it helps keep our dues down

It worked! Thank you so much.... we'll sleep much better tonight.

I'm all for keeping the dues down and allowing the sensors to work during the day while we're out.... but I am glad I now know how to bypass it because the six of us are tired of waking up in the middle of the night because it's so hot we can't sleep.

I'm glad they have these sensors - it helps keep our dues down

In the short term, yes. I am concerned that the resulting higher humidity will cause much more expensive problems in the future.
