The Dometic IoT Multiplex System Solution will soon hit the market, allowing RVers to monitor and control the vital functions of an RV.
The idea for the Internet of Things (IoT) product originated from feedback given by the customer base of Canadian manufacturer, Leisure Travel Vans, a brand of Triple E RV. Dometic identified the most important features customers desired and incorporated them into developing the IoT solution, according to the company. The result of this partnership will be showcased at RVX in Leisure Travel Vans’ Unity model.
“The team at Dometic has taken an innovative approach with their new IoT solution. It’s been a great collaboration and amazing to see how fast it has all come together,” said Mike Elias, vice president of marketing at Leisure Travel Vans. “We are excited to see our customers’ reaction to the new system and for the potential that it holds.”
Designed to meet RV-CTM network standards, the Dometic IoT solution provides SMART technology and intuitive features that monitor and control the vital functions of an RV. Flexible configurations, allow screens to be placed in strategic areas of the RV in any number of groupings. With the touch of a finger, RVers can control the system from the LCD screen or the mobile app on a smartphone or tablet.
“Our innovation team was tasked with producing a smart, intuitive product with a compressed timeline, and delivered an exceptional product on time,” said Stefan Brosick, vice president and general manager of Dometic RV OEM.
The Dometic IoT Multiplex System Solution also features customized screen displays, allowing control of relevant functions in a given room or area. Full sensory haptic touch provides feedback to the user when touching the screen. Also available, is the ability to program scenes and automations, like one-touch triggers that might turn off all the lights, lock the doors and set climate control to the desired temperature.
The system provides a forecasted view of system usage, indicating when critical resources are reaching their limits, like LP gas levels, water supply levels, and battery life.
The product’s modular design allows customers to create a custom configuration to meet their needs and price. An OEM can configure a unique system across their entire RV product line.
“The team at Leisure Travel Vans has been fantastic to work with,” said Joe Wine, IoT product manager at Dometic. “We believe that through our collaboration the Dometic’s IoT solution will meet the high expectations of their customers.”
