VAN PI - HOW TO

First you have to screw the Raspberry PI to our PCBs and then push the whole thing into the case.

Download the latest VAN PI OS and flash it to an SD card

The software is available HERE

Now apply 9-16V to the system to start it.

The system now opens a Wi-Fi access point and you can connect to it with any smartphone, tablet or laptop. You can then find the web interface via your browser at http://van.pi.

The first thing you should do is change the default Wi-Fi password (first change name (green) then update AP (red)) or integrate the system into an existing WLAN.

Connect our Pekaway touchscreen using an RJ45 cable and receive the first information on the touchscreen.

Now connect your battery via Bluetooth, Victron Shunt or install the VAN PI Shunt for battery monitoring.

If you don't use a Victron shunt or don't have a Bluetooth connection to the battery, you can use the VAN PI shunt.

Now use the relays to switch your devices. This means you can conveniently switch lamps, pumps, refrigerators, etc. from anywhere. The relays can be seen as remote-controlled switches that are simply integrated into the circuit.

Connect your water tank sensors. Resistance sensors and capacitive sensors are supported. Calibration is done in the web interface.

Up to four digital temperature sensors can be added Plug&Play. You just have to connect them and arrange them in the web interface.

Countless settings are waiting for you. Whether it's integration into Homekit, timers, automatic shutdowns or assigning names. You can set almost everything in the web interface.

Then select " Config " to access the settings.
