Our Control System is a software-based platform built on Home Assistant, designed to bring together a wide range of open and widely available hardware into one reliable and modern control system.
We offer several editions of our software, targeted for different environments.
Nomad is our Control System for RVs, Motorhomes and Campervans. This system is currently in development and will be available in Summer 2026 and there will be a demo at Vanlove 2026 at Thruxton. Several packages will be available for different budgets and requirements.
Discover More →Helm is our Control System for marine vessels. This system is currently in planning and will be available in 2027. Several packages will be available for different budgets and requirements.
Follow Development →Our Control System can already integrate over standard data protocols with many devices, but sometimes a suitable off-the-shelf device doesn’t exist, so we also support several DIY hardware projects. Purchase the hardware and follow our installation instructions and/or video content to build your own device.
A Bluetooth Proxy device using a simple M5 Stack Atom ESP controller. Useful if you are running Home Assistant in a Docker container or don't yet have a Bluetooth dongle or Bluetooth capability on your server.
Several Van Level devices let you know the highest wheel and tells you the distance under each wheel to get it level. Also it tells you the total lift needed so you can make sure you have enough bags/chocs.

Connect to the Roamer early BMS, the Xtreme range of batteries and monitor battery characteristics. This device will show the same details shown in the Roamer app in a dashboard in Home Assistant.
We are working actively on several new DIY hardware projects to add to our system.
Full control of the 4D diesel heater and full access to metrics. Build a DIY inline gateway to sit in between your current controller and the diesel heater. We recommend you keep your existing controller to allow control just in case of an emergency.
Build your own tank level to measure your water using a float resistance based float valve.
Build your own IR blaster device to control any IR supported integrations, e.g. Maxxfan.
We all want to know the basics, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure for our vehicle. Build this device to measure them all.
** Enclosures & Mounting Brackets **
3D print files for selected enclosures and brackets are available to use with our DIY hardware projects and in general. Our 3D print files are available to our paid members, or you can purchase the files on Patreon
We offer paid memberships for members who want additional support, project resources and access to premium documentation.
If you’re an Explorer (DIY) and prefer to go it alone, free articles, documentation, blueprints and examples for Home Assistant in a Campervan are available on this website.
