CampMatic is now available as an app on the App Store and Google Play. It does everything you know from the web app and adds push alerts, an app lock via fingerprint or face, and Wi-Fi setup of the WiFi box via Bluetooth. The web app stays.
Read moreRemote control of the iNet Box depends on the 2G network. In Switzerland it has been off since early 2023 — remote control simply does not work there any more. Which dates apply in Germany, and why moving to iNet X is not an option for everyone.
Read moreMost people expect from the Truma app what they know from every other device app: open it, see the status, switch the heater on. The iNet Box works differently — Bluetooth within ten metres, and strictly SMS beyond that.
Read morePeople searching for a Truma iNet Box upgrade usually mean the same thing: I want to operate my heater from my phone, including from a distance. There are two routes — one that replaces your control panel, and one that leaves everything in place.
Read moreThe Truma Level Control measures reliably — but only while you are standing next to it. Bluetooth reaches about ten metres. CampMatic turns it into real remote monitoring: level, kilograms and remaining range live in the app, Telegram and Home Assistant.
Read moreThe Truma Combi sits in almost every caravan — but as standard you can only control it on the panel inside. CampMatic brings the heater, gas bottle and leisure battery to your phone, over WiFi or 4G with no WiFi at your pitch.
Read moreA lot can go wrong in a stored camper over the idle season: frost, a deep-discharged battery, an empty gas bottle. With CampMatic Guard from €89 you keep an eye on all three remotely — over 4G even with no WiFi at the storage site.
Read moreTo see RuuviTag readings remotely you normally need the Ruuvi Gateway for around €200. CampMatic Guard does the same job from €89 — and throws in gas bottle, onboard battery and Telegram alerts.
Read moreThe Truma Combi D6 and D6E sit in many panel vans and in the VW Grand California. CampMatic controls the diesel Combi just like the gas models — on/off, target temperature, hot water and, on the D6E, the diesel/electric energy mix — via app, Telegram and Home Assistant.
Read moreRunning your home or camper on ioBroker? With CampMatic your Truma Combi flows into ioBroker over MQTT (TLS) – heating, hot water, energy mix, status plus gas, battery and Ruuvi appear as data points for VIS, Blockly, JavaScript and Node-RED. No soldering, no removing the CP Plus.
Read moreCampMatic now also reads Ruuvi environment sensors — temperature, humidity and air pressure live in the app and via Telegram. We show what it does for you: from frost protection and fridge monitoring to preventing mould.
Read moreThree questions decide whether a camper trip stays relaxed: Is it warm? Is there enough gas? Will the battery last? CampMatic answers all three in a single app — control the Truma heater, monitor gas via Truma Level Control or Mopeka and battery via BM2, with one device.
Read moreDo you run Home Assistant at home or in the camper? With CampMatic you integrate your Truma Combi natively over MQTT — including a climate entity, temperature sensors, dashboards and automations. No tinkering, no ESPHome flashing, no removing the CP Plus.
Read moreThe Truma iNet Box is no longer produced and relies on 2G for remote access — yet many motorhome owners still want to finally control their Truma Combi from an app. Which alternatives actually exist, how good are they in daily use, and which one makes sense for whom? An honest overview.
