Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
Renogy ONE M1 (hereinafter referred as Renogy ONE) is an all-in-one intelligent energy
monitor and smart home command center born to revolutionize how you live off the grid. The
4-inch high-definition display reliably visualizes the energy data of each Renogy device through
Bluetooth or RS485 connection, enabling a better control of your power systems only at a
simple glance. With a built-in Wi-Fi module, Renogy ONE can analyze errors and store data in
the cloud. Thus, you can check on your system and receive troubleshooting tips wherever you
are.
Renogy ONE is integrated with 3 relays to help you build a smart home. You can control up to 3
home appliances via physical switches on the panel or the DC Home app. In addition, Renogy
ONE works with Smart Relay, Smart Plug, Door & Window Sensor, and Motion Sensor, based
on which you can customize smart scenes to enable multiple devices in one go for enhanced
comfort. If anything is unusual, Renogy ONE will keep you alert through instant notifications on
your phone.
Key Features
zAll-in-one Smart Panel
By connecting to a wide range of energy devices and smart home accessories via Bluetooth or
Zigbee, Renogy ONE allows you to track energy data and manage your off-grid home through
its 4-inch high-definition touch screen.
z24/7 Energy Monitoring
Renogy ONE collects accurate data from compatible energy devices through Bluetooth or
RS485 communication cables, allowing you to keep track of energy status in one go.
zMake Your Home Connected
Connect a maximum of 3 home appliances (requirements for the load: < 30V DC & ≤5A) to
Renogy ONE for added convenience and comfort. You can manage these home appliances
separately from one place by pressing the switches next to the display or through the DC Home
app.
zSmart Scene Settings over LAN
Renogy ONE allows you to customize smart scenes to enable multiple devices in one go. The
scenes keep working even when the Renogy ONE is disconnected from the Internet.
zDistance is not a Problem
The Wi-Fi module uploads power data while you are off the grid, so you can seamlessly check
the overall status of your off-grid power system, real-time usage of each energy device, or
system errors via the DC Home app on your phone, anytime, anywhere.

Inspection
Please inspect Renogy ONE for any visible damage including
cracks, dents, deformation, and other visible abnormalities
before installation. All connector contacts shall be clean, dry,
and free of dirt and corrosion.

Preparation
Mounting Location
1. Tear off the mounting template in the Quick Guide of Renogy
ONE. You can also draw a picture according to the size
marked in the mounting template.
12V
Power
Supply
2. Tape the mounting template to the selected mounting
location, and measure whether the 12V power cable is long
enough to connect Renogy ONE to your DC power supply.
If the auxiliary 12V power cable is not long enough for
connecting Renogy ONE to your DC power supply, you can
re-select a mounting position or use an extension cable (≥
22 AWG). If you do not need to extend the 12V power cable,
please go to step 5.
NOT
E
zInstall Renogy ONE on a vertical surface.
zMounting Renogy ONE requires installation holes, so please make sure that you can drill
holes on the mounting position.
zTo ensure quality wireless communication for Renogy ONE, keep it away from metal objects
at a minimum distance of 200 mm or 7.88 inch.
WARNIN

zInstall Renogy ONE on a vertical surface indoors protected from direct sunlight, high
temperature, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
zDo not install Renogy ONE in a humid environment, or spill water or other liquids on it.

3. If you need to extend the
auxiliary 12V power cable,
cut it at any part of the
auxiliary 12V power cable
and strip off some of the
insulation.
NOT
E
zWhen extending the 12V power cable, confirm the polarity of the cable before connecting it
to the auxiliary one. A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormal operations. The length
of the extension cable should not exceed 10 meters (32.8 feet).
4. Strip part of the insulation
off the extension cable
and connect it to the cut-
off point of the auxiliary
12V power supply cable
and wrap the cut-off areas
with the insulation tape.
5. Use the skill saw to cut the installation hole according to the
gray mark on the mounting template.

zMake sure the DC power supply is powered off before connection.
zRenogy ONE can be connected to a DC power supply of up to 16V; otherwise Renogy ONE
may be damaged.
zPlease confirm the polarity of the DC power supply device before connection. A reverse
polarity contact will result in abnormal operations.
Communication Cables
Renogy ONE can communicate with Renogy energy devices in several ways:
1. Bluetooth wireless communication;
2. Wired communication based on RS485 protocol;
3. Wired communication based on RV-C protocol.
You can choose an appropriate communication method according to the actual situation.
For Bluetooth wireless communication, there is no need to pre-embed the communication cable.
For RS485 or RV-C communication, you need to pre-embed the communication cable in the
installation hole.
