Have you any more details of this system please. Could be on the way to what I want.
With our MoHo, there is a switch on the drivers side which locks/unlocks all the doors via the extended central locking (keyfob also locks habitation door)I wanted to be able to lock/unlock the doors remotely (check its locked at night, let the wife in when she forgets her keys etc), but the electronic system on the crafter was a bit too advanced to be cracked in 5 minutes with a multimeter. I might come back to this one day, especially if anyone here has any knowledge that can help

I agree wholeheartedly...Cobra That's a shame. I'm sure that many of us are reading this thread with interest, and admiration of some people's abilities.
Before I do that I’v just touched something on my iPhone and my details flashed up, my score of contributions have attracted quite a good number of “ likes “ perhaps I’m not the only one who has a different view on things.
So you post to a thread about motorhome automation, saying it's all a waste of time, and you are surprised when you get a robust reaction? Your main complaint seems to be that somebody mentioned your name... Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?For my my own peace of mind I do not want anything more in my van that can go wrong, the modern vehicle electrics can be a real head scratcher let alone the heating systems, the central locking, fridge, media systems, just look at all the questions on this forum for a start. I rest my case.
It's not usual for this forum, but then again it is the Internet.I am totally amazed that a discussion on MoHo automation should create any argument!

Good idea !Sorry that the general tendency even on this forum (the most friendly forum I've found) is to descend into squabbles and arguments, hopefully as we move forward we might see this lessen.
Have you considered writing a series of articles for the Motorhome Fun Magazine?
Would be useful to those of us who are interested in teching up our vans. For myself, I have some Pi's and can program reasonably well. Write some PLC code for work even though being mechanically trained. With Home/Van automation just don't now where to start, where to get sensors, or what is possible. Must be enough for a couple of articles to get us started.
Ignore them Cobra, keep going.I am totally amazed that a discussion on MoHo automation should create any argument!
dipsie & DumfriesDik - You seem to have a problem with each other but it has NOTHING to do with me or my posts
I am not insisting that anyone else should do this!
I'm not telling anyone that they are an idiot because they don't understand it or are not interested in it!
I'm not insisting that other people have the same views as myself or anyone else for that matter
I just thought some people might be interested in what I am doing and might have some ideas for further consideration into my project.

You have an Alexa in a lorry cab, I know these sleeper cabs are getting cosy but Alexa and a teas made. When I was a lad we had to stop at a roadside cafe for our first cuppa.We have Alexa in the truck, good to turn the kettle on while we stay warm in bed. I have some wifi controlled relays for things like turn on outside light/heaters before we get to the van. As well as the usual play music, alarms and timers.

Can you translate please I have a problem with the underfloor heating switch controller thing, you need a degree in computing to operate the one supplied, menu this, menu that. I have taken it of and fitted an on/off switch. It is now so easy to use.It's not usual for this forum, but then again it is the Internet.
This topic is of great interest to many on here, including me. I installed a Teltonika RUTX11 router recently, largely because I wanted to improve on the mifi access. I hadn't realised the huge potential of these Teltonika devices, or the massive functionality built into them. They are intended as a comms hub for control, monitoring and Internet-Of-Things (IOT).
Just scratching the surface, I could use a communication tool called ModbusTCP to send and receive commands/information to/from the Victron Multiplus II inverter/charger, either via an app or by text message. So maybe I can do things like use the MH batteries as storage for my solar array on the house roof, while the MH is parked on the drive.
ModbusTCP sends messages over wifi/wired networks. Each device has a Modbus number (between 1 and 247), and each device has a list of commands it responds to and data it can return. You send it the required number on the list, and it executes the command/sends back the data. It's a thoroughly tested method used for controlling industrial plant, oil terminals etc.

Been reading for a while and finally decided to subscribe and post.
I picked up my motorhome a couple of months ago and have had a few trips to local sites in the North East.
SWMBO and I have enjoyed it so far and have already booked a number of sites for the start of next year
(We plan to at least go every other week-end if possible)
I am a home automation enthusiast, with an almost fully automated home, and was wondering if anyone else had thought about making their motorhome 'smart'
I've already started to add some of the basics and I still have a way to go, but I'm working on it
If anyone is interested then I could post some details on what & how
