SmartConnect range of Bluetooth sensors for RVs

Bluetooth sensors bring a new level of RV integration to caravan owners

BMPRO releases the SmartConnect range of Bluetooth sensors, integrated with smart RV control and monitoring systems such as JHub and Odyssey. Instead of systems becoming outdated and not upgradable, BMPRO systems onwards from 2020 are now adaptable, where new feature sets can be added at various stages of their RV journey.

SmartConnect will be offered through all major RV brands as part of their 2020 offering. As a world first in adaptability of RV Monitoring and Control, SmartConnect allows the RV’s system to be expanded and adjusted to customer’s needs over time.

This is a truly unique model whereby the Bluetooth sensors can be installed:

1. At OEM Manufacturing stage when sold as an option or standard feature
2. At Dealership as an optional feature installed at the dealer pre-delivery point during van commissioning
3. In Aftermarket where customers can purchase and add additional sensors through a simple self-install process.

SmartConnect software is already pre-loaded into the 2020 BMPRO systems and can be simply activated at any stage from manufacturing through to aftermarket. Similar to many devices in our day to day world, Bluetooth BLE has been specially adapted to suit modern RVs.

SmartConnect sensors are easy to install and will also be available as DIY kits through dealerships.

 Current sensors include

• SmartPressure measures temperature and pressure in RVs tyres
• SmartTemp enables the temperature monitoring of areas such as internal, bedroom, fridge
• SmartSense enables the highly accurate measurement of remaining LPG levels in gas bottles

Multiple sensors can be monitored via a single app, while SmartSense is also available with the separate BMPRO SmartSense app.

BMPRO strives to give RV owners the best possible experience in utilising smart technology, enabling the true benefits of the available functionality. To achieve this, BMPRO will provide a new level of service in 2020 with greater support to caravan dealerships and retailers, launching the 2020 BMPRO Retail Development Program. The program will assist retailers in obtaining a higher degree of technical knowledge in the BMPRO product range, including the new SmartConnect, throughout the complete product cycle, from sales through to service and warranty.

We are excited to announce that we have secured the very experienced and knowledgeable services of Shane Holloway, who will head the program as a General Manager of BMPRO Retail Development.  Shane’s extensive understanding of the Australian dealership network and their requirements for success will ensure that the program delivers value and unique opportunities that the industry has not seen before. The program will be first launched in Victoria in April 2020 and then rolled out nationwide as BMPRO grows the exposure of their app-based product range through its nationwide dealerships.
