Dealer Remote Access (DRA)

With the American Standard® Dealer Remote Access feature, you can enjoy the convenience and flexibility of having your HVAC system serviced, without having anyone step foot in your home. This service is available to customers using American Standard Gold and Platinum series thermostats Gold 824/824B, Platinum 850, or Platinum 1050.

NOTE: This feature is not available on Platinum 950 thermostats.

What is Dealer Remote Access?

Dealer Remote Access, or DRA, allows you to grant limited access to your smart thermostat so that your HVAC dealer or technician can access it remotely. They can then view, edit, and adjust your settings if necessary, avoiding any unnecessary service appointments.

Enabling DRA

In order to use the DRA feature, you first have to register your system with a local dealer and enable American Standard Diagnostics.

For information about locating a dealer or determining whether your system is registered with a dealer, please see Finding Dealer Information.
For information about American Standard Diagnostics and how to opt-in, please see American Standard® Diagnostics: Consumer Information.

What to Expect

Once you are registered with a dealer and have opted into Diagnostics, your dealer can request remote access to your system. Once you have approved their request, you do not need to do anything more.

Initiating a DRA Session

When your dealer initiates a DRA session, you will be prompted to allow or deny access to your system.

A message will appear in the American Standard Home mobile app, on the American Standard Home web portal, and on your wireless smart thermostat. Press Allow on any one of these to grant the dealer access to your system or Deny to refuse access.

NOTE: You will see different screens flash on your thermostat as your dealer performs tasks. Please do not be alarmed and please do not touch the thermostat while the session is active.

Ending the Session

Your dealer will end the session when they have completed the necessary work and the messages will disappear from the app, portal, and thermostat.

If your dealer forgets to end the session, it will automatically time out at the time displayed on the portal. While we advise against it, you can terminate the session at any time in the portal or mobile app.
