Well with winter looming and another 4months of miserable cold night working, I finally got round to wiring up my remote Webasto switch-on setup today.
Last year I relied on my timer to have the boat warm when I got home, but due to having to ‘guess’ what time Id get finished, more often than not I was home too late or too early to have a toasty boat.
This summer I decided ‘no more!’ so got all the gear to build a remote setup to compliment my remote electric blanket switch that I used all last year, that I can turn on when I leave site / am half hour from home. Timer has been left as is so I stillhave that function If I need use it in the future.
Built and tested today...Seems to do the job just as I planned.👍
240V relay to trigger the Webasto tested..
Wifi triggered double socket with USB point for keeping the router charged.
Sockets are switched using the ‘Smart-Life’ app on your phone
Testing the phone switch works👍
All wired & Switching the Webasto on remotely....
Success...No more arriving home at 05.00 to a freezing cold boat, all in total cost about £25 plus a couple of enjoyable hours work. 👍
