Introduction
Introduction
General Information
Renogy ONE M1 (hereinafter referred to as Renogy ONE) is your all-in-one energy monitoring
and off-grid smart living center that revolutionizes comfort when you live in your off-grid home or
RV.
It is the heart of your off-grid system with a sleek, flush-mount touchscreen that looks great
anywhere. The 4’’ HD display lets you monitor every Renogy device in your home from one
screen. When Renogy ONE works in association with the DC Home app, you will have the same
system monitoring wherever you go on your smartphone.
Renogy ONE makes it possible to live off-grid without compromising comfort. It allows control of
up to three devices at a time through the direct connection with panel relays. In addition, Renogy
ONE delivers peace of mind with enhanced security feature for your off-grid home or RV. It is
compatible with our Smart Relay, Smart Plug, Door & Window Sensor, and Motion Sensor to
send instant alerts right to your DC Home app if there is a security breach.
Key Features
zAll-in-one Smart Panel
Renogy ONE gets rid of cumbersome cables and multiple monitors by connecting to Renogy
devices and smart accessories via Bluetooth, Zigbee, RV-C, and RS485. Its 4-inch HD
touchscreen lets you monitor and control all compatible Renogy devices in your home from one
screen with intuitive visuals and real-time data.
z24/7 Energy Monitoring Anywhere
Renogy ONE delivers all the performance data from connected devices directly to your smart
panel through Bluetooth or RS485 and RV-C communication cables. The Wi-Fi connectivity
uploads energy data while you are off grid, so you can monitor your system in real time,
wherever you are, with the DC Home app.
zConnected Living
Renogy ONE integrates with three panel switches that allow you to turn on or off up to three DC
appliances. When pairing Renogy ONE with the DC Home app, you can set up smart scenes to
control devices together depending on how you live. For instance, you can create an “Evening”
scene that automatically turns on lights or a “Sleep” scene that turns off your home appliances.

ONE. You can also customize a template according to the
size provided in the guide.
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 included 12V power cable is not long enough for
connecting Renogy ONE to your DC power supply, re-select
a mounting position or use an extension cable (≥ 22 AWG).
If you do not need to extend the 12V power cable, go to
Step 5.
NOT
E
zInstall Renogy ONE on a vertical surface.
zMounting Renogy ONE requires installation holes. 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 7.9 inch.
3. Cut the included 12V
power cable, and strip off
some of the insulation.
NOT

zConfirm the polarities of the included cable and the extension one before connecting them.
A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormal operations. The extension cable should not
exceed 10 meters (32.8 feet).
