The programs and system variables presented here arose from practice and serve to cover individual needs. Program, channel and variable names are chosen arbitrarily. All designations must be unique. Letter/number groups should not contain any special characters or umlauts and, for the sake of readability, should be separated from each other by an underscore.

The explanations make no claim to completeness or perfect programming skills; this applies in particular to scripts. However, they serve their purpose here. Suggestions and constructive criticism in comments or by email are always welcome!

SmartHome in a motorhome may seem strange at first. But once you have experienced the advantages, you quickly discover new possible applications.

Whether it is the heating control, the selective switching on or off of electrical consumers to protect weak shore power supplies, humidity or temperature-dependent ventilation of the windshield area or an integrated dog house, the switching on and off of the floor or door lighting controlled via geofence or door contact or automatic retraction and extension of the entrance step. Even remote control via cell phone or tablet is possible using the CloudMatic VPN service.
