Webasto and Eberspächer Remote Control in Motorhomes

Etabox is excellent for remote control of Webasto, Eberspächer and other diesel heaters.

Some heaters can be started directly from Etabox output with a small wake-up current without a separate relay. If needed, Etabox can also control a standard 12V relay for larger loads.

For W-Bus and LIN compatible models, LIN-based controls can also be used.

Alde Heating Remote Control

Etabox is also suitable for remote control of various gas heating systems and Alde heating depending on the control method of the system.

OUT4 potential-free solid-state relay can be used, for example, connected in parallel with a button or control input to simulate a button press remotely.

With the trigger feature, you can set the exact pulse length between 1 and 9999 milliseconds.

Motorhome Temperature Monitoring

Etabox includes two temperature sensors with 1.5 meter cables. Temperatures are displayed in real-time in the application.

Alerts can be created for situations such as:

  • Temperature drops too low
  • Interior temperature rises too high
  • Heating fails to start as expected
  • Vehicle freezes in winter

Users can set their own alert limits and notification texts.

Battery Voltage Monitoring

Etabox allows you to monitor your motorhome battery voltage remotely.

The supply voltage is displayed in real-time in the application and users can create alerts for situations where battery voltage drops too low.

This is especially useful for winter storage, when using solar power, or when the motorhome is idle for long periods.

Ventilation and Air Exchange Remote Control

Etabox can also control motorhome air exchange and ventilation fans.

OUT1, OUT2 or OUT3 output can be connected to a relay that starts, for example, a ventilation fan or air exchange unit remotely.

Ventilation can also be scheduled to operate automatically at certain times.

Remote Control Without WiFi

Etabox does not require a separate WiFi connection. The device uses an internal IoT modem and operates with its own SIM card.

This makes Etabox an excellent solution for mobile use, even when the motorhome moves to different areas or is parked without network connections.

12V and 24V Systems

Etabox operates at a supply voltage of 7V – 34V and is suitable for both 12V and 24V systems.

OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 outputs provide the same supply voltage as Etabox is powered with.

Each output can handle a maximum load of 1A.

Scheduling and Automation

All outputs can be controlled by:

  • Manual control via the application
  • Scheduling
  • Thermostat function based on temperature

For example, heating can be started automatically before departure or ventilation can be scheduled to operate at specific times.

Connection Example: Ventilation Control

OUT2 can be connected to a relay that starts the motorhome ventilation fan remotely.

Ventilation can be started, for example, before arriving at the motorhome on a hot day or operate automatically at a certain temperature.

No Usage or Cloud Service Fees

Etabox has no separate usage, application or cloud service fees. You only pay the SIM card subscription fees to your chosen operator.
