See Camper/RV Temperature from Anywhere in the world & get alerts!

In this video, we will show you how to connect a Bluetooth Temperature Sensor to the Cerbo GX. We are using RuuviTags to monitor the temperature of our plumbing enclosure as well as the temperature of the camper van.
RuuviTag is weatherproof, wireless, and measures the temperature and air humidity in our camper van.
We wanted to get notifications on our phones whenever our water tank in our plumbing enclosure was in danger of freezing as well as when the van was too hot for our dog, Pyros. So, we are placing one temperature sensor inside our plumbing enclosure, and one just somewhere in the living space of the campervan. In order to receive notifications when we were out of bluetooth range of the Ruuvi tags, we are syncing the sensors to the Victron Cerbo GX to relay all that information to the VRM portal. That way, whenever we have internet signal, we can monitor or be notified of those temperatures.

[@jdaleske2]

Thanks for the great walk-through.
To me, an obvious location is inside the electrical enclosure.
You might have a venting fan turn on at one temperature and an alarm when it gets over a higher temperature.

I’ve got 7 of these sensors - Outside, Kitchen, Bedroom, Freezer, Fridge, Basement, and Power (on the outside of my Victron Multiplus). They are great.

[@earlzeis35]

If the range is good and strong enough, putting them in the fridge and freezer would be beneficial.

[@leelendon1482]

Love this channel , providing a simple but good understanding of electrical 12v circuits . Im at that stage now and considering victron. Expensive but from what I see less interaction when setup properly . More time having fun , than monitoring everything

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

Now I am going to have to buy some ruuvi tags!!!!!! Oh no! Thanks for the great idea!

[@EXPLORISTlife]

😂😂Glad it was helpful. Cheers!

[@recoblade1465]

I originally looked at these for a van build, but as a truck driver, who has had multiple refrigerators die on me, I like the fact that I can toss one of these in the fridge and know when the next one dies

[@Chickenhill209]

How do I change it to Fahrenheit on the Portal?

[@silvanocometta9760]

Thanks Nat. May I suggest you make a video on how to show the temp data from RUUVIs on the main page of the screen connected to the Cerbo, that is without VRM. I used Gui Mods for that but at some point the display stopped showing the temp data of my 3 RUUVI tags. You may show easier ways to achieve that. Best regards from Switzerland.

[@GrimaldisOnTour]

Yes I haven’t been able to figure out how to do this either.

[@tikoy1955]

Good informational video. Truly enjoy your videos.

[@EXPLORISTlife]

Hey tikoy1955, Thanks so much! Cheers!

[@alanblyde8502]

I am installing a contactor to charge another battery and will be placing one of these underneath the contactor base “like a stand-off” in between so I can monitor temp to see how it goes, great bit of kit are Ruuvi

[@BennyTheNerd]

Can you add the RuuviTags to a fridge/freezer and get notifications as well?

[@nebulight]

Doesn’t Victron recommend an external Bluetooth adapter for this application? Something about the internal radio not being strong enough?

[@april7_]

Ruuvi made in Finland! You can just translate what Ruuvi really means in Finnish! 😄

[@KevinM-ov3qr]

Have you gotten the motion sensor to work with cerbo?

[@robertvanessen8934]

The cerbo chip has a known heat flaw..this only works if u chip is cool..if cerbo gets warm bluetooth disappears at least with fw3.0..the fix is a dongle

[@markpaperhanger2481]

First😂❤️👏🤪🙄
