Notes on HomeKit, Victron Energy, Node-RED and modifying our Niesmann+Bischoff iSmove 6.9E motorhome: adding components, building new electronics, and wiring it all together.
Hello, World
Welcome. This blog is about making a Niesmann+Bischoff iSmove 6.9E motorhome smarter: adding components, designing new electronics, and wiring everything into one coherent system. Expect posts on: Victron Energy: batteries, MPPT chargers, Cerbo GX, and getting data out of them. Node-RED: automations that react to the van’s state. HomeKit: exposing lights, tanks, temperatures, and power to Apple Home. Electronics: custom boards and firmware where off-the-shelf parts fall short. Multi-part projects will be grouped into series so you can read them in order. The site is built with Hugo and the PaperMod theme, and the source lives on GitHub.
