Looking for an all encompassing RV monitoring system. I've drafted some requirements on what I'm looking for
  • Accurate battery life measurement (not relying on voltage)
  • Tank level monitoring
  • Temperature monitoring (multiple if possible, for living space and basement)
  • Custom Alert Management
  • Cellular Communication
  • Anything you could recommend, think of?
Some of the vendors I looked like
  • Caravan
    • Interestingly they were much more marine focused first
    • Very battery life focused
    • Clean setup with modules
    • Gorgeous interface
    • No remote / cellular connection
  • RV Whisper – Monitor Your RV!
    • Large array of sensors
    • Not all sensors are theirs
    • Some sensor from outside vendors can be quite pricy and require an additional module to work with their system
    • No cellular connection, requires wifi
    • lackluster interface
  • RV Command - Boat Command
    • Similar to simarine, boat focused first.
    • Very little data available
    • Site (rv-command.com) no longer works and redirects to the wrong thing.
Not really finding a solid wholistic systems. I feel like this is a huge gap in the market. Either that or my google skills are lacking. What have you seen/used/liked that's out there?
 
Not really thinking this is the best category this got moved too. Really not about things like internet, sat, audio etc. Yes tech, but really not so focused on the same things. I think this is more around battery maintenance, security, tank levels etc...
