I’m using an Ecoflow battery (they locked up the local API and now I’m locked out) Here’s my current setup and why I’m frustrated: Sorry to bump this old topic but I’ve been thinking I want to go this route for my ideal camping setup.Įven though I will be building mine around a truck bed the concept is the same. if you have any suggestions or products, let me know. But I know home assistant will be the OS I’ll go with. This is just the start but I wanted to intro this project with the goals. install the humidity and temperature sensors in and outside of the RV.Įxtra, add battery monitor to both starting batter and coach battery.have a tank monitor system in place (still figuring out how to do this).set up DC switches to control lights and water pump.install the 7-inch display with a raspberry pie 4 to run it and be the “brain”.Now, this is a lot to tackle all at once so I’m going to start with basic elements. Have it accessible from a phone app and website.have a touch screen displaying this infraction within the coach ( replacing the old gauges).have the ability to monitor Coach batteries, starting motor battery, solar charger, temperature/ humidity( in and out), smoke, carbon monoxide, propane gas levels, water tank levels, black water tank levels, location, and AC /DC usage.have the ability to control lights, main power shut off, heating, cooling, water pump, inverter, propane flow, refrigerator temperature, and main water shut off.Since I’m a PM as my job let me lay out my goals for this project. also, they cost more than my RV is worth. ![]() but nothing that implements all the things I want to have. Now there are off the shelf options out there for this. ![]() I would like the option to monitor conditions within the trailer while I’m away. ![]() Also when I do travel I travel with my dog. I’m not always in it and can’t always be there to check battery levels, if a water leak happened or if the RV has coat fire. This is going to be the place I’m going to catalog my journey to making my 1985 Toyota Coachment camper to be a “Smart Camper”.
