A while back someone asked me to post photos of my RV Command (remote power monitoring and alert system) installation, but unfortunately there didn't seem to be much value in a photo of a big bundle of wires.
So instead I drew up a diagram that translates the wire color connections from the RV Command to the EC-30:

Note that the EC-30 harness contains all of the most important RV Command sense signals making for an easy install. Also this area above the entrance door is a good place for the RV command, mine has no issues with receiving the GPS or Cell signals from there.
With a temp sensor and the EC-30 harness the RV-Command supports all of the following features and will text and/or email alerts:
- House Battery Voltage (configurable low voltage alert)
- Start Battery Voltage (configurable low voltage alert)
- Generator Engine Hours
- Shore Power (alert sent when disconnected)
- Temperature Inside via Sensor (configurable HIGH & LOW temp alerts)
- Temperature Outside (from web based data)
- GPS location with GeoFence (configurable alert radius)
Note that Shore Power sense was not factory installed on Entegra's older than about 2015 in which case RV Command shore power alerts will not function. Sense can be added at the transfer switch with a transformer and a wire pair run up to the EC30. In this instance I recommend a 12v DC transformer to eliminate the need for the AC/DC Converter shown above. The EC-30 will work with AC or DC shore power sense voltages.
On Entegra's that DO have the shore power sense factory installed, the low voltage AC signal needs to be converted to DC to be compatible with the RV Command. Something like
this or
this should do the trick.
This photo shows the RV Command and AC/DC converter lying on the floor of the wiring compartment above the entry door:
Here is the backside of the EC-30 and all the connector functions:
