Hi All
I currently have an Autotrail van with a Sargent charging systems . This also allows viewing and operating various functions like lights , heating, water levels etc to be viewed online by a portal .
This unit also sends me alerts of issues to my phone . For example whilst on holiday in the USA I got a notification to say the batteries were low , thus allowing me to message my daughter in the uk to switch the charger on . This will charge both the hab and vehicle batteries thus hopefully avoiding any of the potential dreaded Airbag ECU issues .
My question is simply this , I have a new Carthago on order which does not have this facility of functionality. Does anyone know of an aftermarket system that can be fitted to a Carthago please to give me remote access to charging , heating. Etc ?
Happy Christmas All .,.
 
We had a small camera that looks at the control panel voltage and a gosund remote socket where a battery charger cab be turned on via the house internet on our last van. Have the Victron bells and whistles on current one can do most things remotely.

I also have Victron gear on our MH which gives me information that I can access from anywhere over the internet.
While parked up at home, I have our van hooked up to EHU via a wireless WiFi 3 pin mains smart plug so I can switch on and switch off our mains charger either by my phone or Alexa.
I can also remotely view and operate our diesel heater via my phone and Alexa.

I also use a Raspberry Pi 4 this runs Node-Red. I've Teltonika Router RUTx11 with their Remote Management System (RMS), this allows me to monitor many parameters of the van, control the heating , monitor the fridge/freezer and control TPlink smart sockets.
