The Carefree Connects Mobile App allows you to interact with your awning(s) 
from your mobile device.  The app provides access to enhanced features and 
additional options.  The mobile app may be used on any device that supports 
current iOS or Android operating systems and Bluetooth low energy technology. 

 

 

For personalized operation controls visit your app store for your smart phone or 
tablet and download the free Carefree Connects Mobile App.

Power your LED lights ON or OFF and adjust the LED brightness. 

  Adjust the rollback feature to save your LED positioning while the awning is 

extended.  (not available for box awnings). 

 

View the health of your awning and review status notifications. 

 

Name your awning(s).  Avoid confusion by having each awning identified with a 
unique name. 

You can pair multiple devices to your awning, but only 8 peripheral devices (like 
key FOBs and one mobile device) can be actively connected at the same time.
