Please can you quality check on proposed build for my motorhome

Hi Everyone, i am about to expand my Victron installation and need some advice if i have understood how everything hangs together.


I currently have:

  • Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30 amp

  • 2 of smart shunt, one on the leisure battery, one on the vehicle battery.


I want to use a Cerbo GX as the centre of the motorhome monitoring.


This will have

  • the above three devices.

  • 3x resistive water tank sensors

  • 3 x thermometers (inside, outside and fridge)

  • Digital input when any of the external doors are opened (get from curtesy light)

  • Digital input when the vehicle is turned on

  • Digital input when the smoke alarm sounds

  • GPS dongle

  • LPG tank sensor level

  • Victron ac energy sensor monitoring 240volt in amps.(the little black dongle)

  • 7inch screen

  • Remote access (covered by mobile router)


What i want:

  • Nice screen showing the status of all the above

  • Remote Alerting (txt message, push alert) to my mobile when any of the doors open

  • Remote Alerting when the tanks are low

  • Remote alerting really on any of the above really.


Appreciate the above is a big kit list and i will build this on the bench first before the install.


Can you see if i have missed anything? It is an expensive piece of work for me and I don’t want to miss anything.


This will be a self install and i will not be going through a distributor.


cheers

Christian

i would say you just start building it piece by piece. not all at once. that would make troubleshooting easier.

start with the things that are most important to you and then keep adding stuff.
