Camping with connected vehicle technology

What's Inside

A modular system you can customize for your vehicle. Start with what you need today, add more as you go. Every piece is open source.

Start Small

A power controller and vehicle computer is all you need to get going. Control lights and accessories from your phone on day one.

Add Over Time

Want GPS tracking? Plug in the location module. Need air quality alerts? Add that module. Each one just connects to the same simple cable.

All Open Source

Every hardware design, firmware file, and line of code is on GitHub. Inspect it, modify it, or build it yourself.

Core System

The foundation every setup starts with.

Power Distribution Module

Power Distribution

Controls up to 8 lights and accessories. Every connected light becomes dimmable. Monitor power draw in real time. This is the backbone of the system—it replaces traditional switches with smart, controllable outputs.

8-Button Control Panel

8-Button Control Panel

A physical panel mounted in your vehicle for one-touch control of your most-used lights and accessories. Each button is backlit and programmable. Works alongside the app for hands-free control when you're in the vehicle.

Vehicle Computer Module

Vehicle Computer

A small onboard computer that ties everything together. It runs your dashboard in any web browser, stores offline maps for navigation without cell service, and coordinates all the modules. It creates its own WiFi network and works even in the most remote locations.

In-Vehicle Displays

The unified view of everything in your vehicle. Thermostat, lighting, sensors, power—all on a wall-mounted touchscreen you can see and use without pulling out your phone.

One Screen, Full Control

These displays bring together every sensor reading, every controllable device, and every automation into a single interface mounted right where you need it. Adjust the thermostat, dim the lights, check battery levels, and monitor air quality—all without reaching for your phone.

The platform supports multiple display hardware options, demonstrating a key design principle: the same firmware and interface adapt to different hardware. Choose the screen size and form factor that fits your vehicle.

Two Hardware Variants

Sunton 7" Touchscreen

ESP32-S3 based 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. A cost-effective, readily available display that mounts flush in a wall panel.

Custom Display

Alternative display hardware with custom PCB design. Same interface and capabilities, different form factor and mounting options.

C++ LVGL ESP32-S3

Mobile & Cloud

Access everything from your phone or remotely through the cloud.

NO APP STORE REQUIRED

Built-In Web Dashboard

The vehicle computer hosts a full Progressive Web App that works on any device with a browser—Android, iOS, laptop, tablet. Connect over the vehicle's own WiFi network and you have instant access to every control and sensor reading. No downloads, no accounts, no data shared with Apple or Google.

The same dashboard works remotely through the cloud backend when you're away from the vehicle. Either way, the interface is the same and your data stays under your control.

Android App

Native Android monitoring and control application. Quick access to lights, thermostat, power status, and sensor readings right from your pocket. Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose using Material Design 3.

Cloud Backend

Node.js Express API with MongoDB for optional remote access. JWT authentication, WebSocket real-time updates, and push notifications. Fully self-hostable—your data stays on your infrastructure.

Expand Your System

Add modules over time to bring more data into your displays and apps. Each one plugs into the same network and starts reporting immediately.

Location & Safety

Know where your vehicle is and what's happening to it.

GPS Location Module

GPS Location

Tracks your vehicle's position so you can see it on a map. Get alerts if it moves while in storage. Enables location-aware automation—like turning on lights when you arrive at a favorite campsite.

C++

Cabinet & Door Sensors

Know when cabinets and doors open or close. Get alerts while driving down the road if something shifts—catch problems before they get worse. Also monitors temperature and humidity in the area where it's installed.

Trailer Connection Monitor

Checks brake lights, turn signals, and running lights on your 7-pin trailer connector before you drive. Know that everything is working before you pull out of the campsite—no more asking someone to walk behind the trailer.

Vehicle Leveler

Tells you exactly how level your vehicle is when you arrive at camp. See pitch and roll on your dashboard so you know where to place leveling blocks. Makes campsite setup faster and easier every time.

C++

Environment & Climate

Keep an eye on conditions inside your vehicle.

Air Quality and Climate Module

Air Quality & Climate Module

Monitors temperature, humidity, and air quality inside your vehicle. If dangerous conditions are detected—like carbon monoxide buildup or extreme heat—it sounds an audible alarm and sends alerts to your phone. Peace of mind whether you're sleeping inside or checking in from home.

Zonal Monitoring

Install multiple modules throughout your vehicle for zone-by-zone reporting. Track conditions in the bedroom, kitchen, and storage areas independently. Each module reports to the same dashboard so you can see the full picture at a glance and spot problem areas immediately.

Energy & Power

See exactly how much power you have and where it's going.

Battery Monitor

Battery Monitor

See voltage, current, and charge level at a glance. Know exactly how much power you have left so you can plan your day without guessing. Essential for boondocking and off-grid camping.

Solar Monitor

Track how much energy your solar panels are producing alongside what you're consuming. See if you're gaining or losing power throughout the day. Make informed decisions about when to run appliances and when to conserve.

Connectivity

Extend the system wirelessly to reach more of your setup.

Wireless Bridge

Extends the system wirelessly between your tow vehicle and trailer. No need to run extra wires through the hitch area. The bridge handles communication automatically so modules in the trailer work just like the ones up front.

Bluetooth Gateway Module

Bluetooth Gateway

Bridges Bluetooth sensors into the vehicle network. If you already have Bluetooth-enabled devices—like temperature sensors or tank monitors—this gateway brings their data into the same dashboard alongside everything else.
