With Revotion, you can now bring smart home technology into your camper! This system makes it easy to control everything from lighting to energy management with just one touch. Learn how Revotion makes your camping experience smarter and more convenient.
Revotion is a control and infotainment system suitable not only for campers but also for boats. The system connects all your on-board devices, allowing you to view and control them clearly in one app. What's special about it is that you can use the app not only on your phone, but on up to three devices simultaneously. This allows you to also operate the app on your tablet, turning your device into the central control unit for your vehicle.
To use the system, you need the appropriate components, which you can easily install. Whether your vehicle is already completely converted or you're just starting the conversion process.
To make everything smart, you need the Brain.
This is the control center and connects the individual devices to each other. Without the Brain, nothing works. One Brain is required per vehicle, which can be connected to up to 25 nodes. Nodes are the connectors between the Brain and the end devices. Communication between the Brain and the nodes is wireless. Nodes are available for many different devices/displays, which we'll look at in more detail later. The system is compatible with 12V and 24V systems and can therefore be installed in almost all vehicles and on boats.
If you've installed everything correctly, you'll see the appropriate widgets in your app, which you can customize as you wish and even use to control the devices. For example, you can turn on the light from outside or check how cold it really is in the refrigerator.
Let’s now take a look at what other nodes there are:
Ambient light computer
With the Ambient Node, you can control your lighting smartly. You can adjust the color, turn the lights on and off, or even turn on the lights in the front of your car while you're lying in bed. You also have the option of integrating a physical switch if you'd like.
Battery computer
Regardless of your battery manufacturer or type, you can use the battery computer to display the battery's charge level. It also calculates the currents from consumers and producers and presents them clearly in the app. You need one battery computer per battery, and you can then directly see how much energy the solar system is generating, how effectively the charging booster is working, how much power is coming in from the grid, and what you're currently consuming.
A small note at this point: The battery computer is not suitable for starter batteries!
Level computer - Level Node
With this node, you can display the fill levels precisely and continuously as a percentage. You can use up to two tank sensors per node, which are monitored in the app. Furthermore, you can set notifications and alerts so you'll be notified if the fill level is too low, for example. The system is compatible with Votronic tank electrodes and can be used right away. Finally, you can shower without worrying about whether there's enough water.
Switch switching computer
This node allows you to turn appliances or groups of appliances on and off. For example, you can turn your refrigerator on and off, even while on the go. It's also possible to integrate a physical switch here that can be used independently of the app.
Temperature computer
The temperature computer is your digital thermometer for your refrigerator or as a frost warning device in your gray water tank. It allows you to precisely measure temperatures inside and outside your vehicle. You can install two sensors per node. Here, too, you can set up notifications and alerts when certain temperatures are reached.
Victron VE.Direct information storage
Revotion also allows you to connect your Victron Energy system. This node allows you to make your Victron ecosystem smart and link it to the Smart Shunt. This is often used when larger loads, such as an inverter, are connected to high currents and the battery level needs to be monitored.
In addition to these features, there is also a map widget for the Revotion app that allows you to record your routes, track data, and mark additional locations.
Revotion promises to further develop the system and add new features and widgets. With this control and infotainment system, you can connect all your onboard devices and make them smart. With the Revotion app, you can intuitively control the elements from anywhere. You also have the option to expand the system at any time as needed.
Our conclusion on Revotion
With Revotion, the camping experience is significantly enhanced by the integration of smart home technologies. Easy installation, flexible control, and a variety of specialized nodes make it possible to optimize virtually every aspect of camping life. Whether it's energy management, lighting control, or temperature monitoring, Revotion offers a future-proof platform that makes traveling more comfortable and efficient.
