Smart Home - Touch Panel System for my coach

So guys, ive been working with the great guys who make nymea (Website nymea.io) on a few things to make this system work well in my DX3.


First off, here is what nymea can do

1. Touch screen control in the coach. Multiple screens in coach.
2. iphone/android app to control/monitor everything remotely.
3. Monitor tire pressure DIRECTLY via rf DIRECTLY from OEM tire pressure sensors in the tires. Lets face it, just about all the aftermarket tpms systems have drawbacks - especially the battery life...it sucks, and quality is questionable. Ive installed factory Ford TPMS sensors in my trailer wheels that i can now monitor by receiving the RF frequency they send via a small usb port adapter and antenna. No booster needed - works for over 200'. Another advantage, im not locked into anyone's system, im simply reading



Currently it requires a bit of computer/internet knowledge to setup, but this is what i do, so its no big deal.


Im at the point i have a touchscreen working, it displays tire pressure and is able to control lighting via Tplink HS200 smart switches which i modified to run on 12V:


Keep an eye on this thread as i will update as i develop the system. I may make an aftermarket installable system, wondering on the interest of such a system.

One extra point, you can also monitor the tire pressure in your toad, without buying anything extra. The system will read the existing tire pressure sensors in your car.


Its not just about tire pressure, but thats the part of it ive been working on lately.
