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.
