Campervan
A home-automation system designed for campervans, with power, lighting and controls managed from one place. We're bringing smart-home style control into a van, built around the power, space and setup a campervan has.
About the project
We are building a home-automation system designed for campervans. The idea is to bring the kind of control you get from a smart home into a van, built around the power, space and setup a campervan has.
This page follows the build as it goes. We will add each stage here as it happens.
