iVtron
Un solo gateway per:
Sensori, Dispositivi Victron, BMS batterie, ecc.
iVtron is the smart gateway that unifies sensors, electrical systems, and security, making data from campers, boats, and off-grid systems accessible remotely.
What is iVtron?
iVtron is an IoT gateway designed for mobile and off-grid environments., che consente di raccogliere, unificare e trasmettere a distanza i dati provenienti da:
electrical systems
batteries and storage systems
environmental and status sensors
security systems
iVtron sends all information to the cloud SmartCamper, allowing remote monitoring of the system from anywhere via an Internet connection.
A single gateway for the entire system
iVtron was created to simplify the management of complex systems, where multiple devices and technologies coexist.
With a single gateway, you can monitor and integrate:
🔌 Electrical system
Inverters, charge controllers, DC-DC converters, and compatible monitoring systems🔋 Batteries and storage
Battery status, charge/discharge parameters, and integration with BMS🌡️ Environmental sensors
Temperature, humidity, pressure, status of doors and windows🚨 Safety and events
Remote openings, anomalies, events, and notifications☁️ Remote access and data history
Viewing and consulting data via the cloud
Where can iVtron be used?
iVtron is designed to operate in all contexts where remote monitoring of a system is required, even in the absence of a traditional power grid.
Typical areas of use:
🚐 Campers and vans
⛵ Boats and recreational boating
🌄 Off-grid and stand-alone systems
🏡 Isolated structures, mountain huts, shelters
In all these cases, iVtron allows you to monitor the status of the system and the environment, wherever you are.
Device compatibility and integration
iVtron is designed as open gateway, capable of integrating different types of devices:
wired devices
wireless Bluetooth sensors
energy monitoring systems
This approach makes iVtron suitable for both existing systems and new installations.
How iVtron works
1️⃣ Connect iVtron to the system
2️⃣ Connect it to the available Internet network (Wi-Fi or modem).
3️⃣ Register your device on the portale SmartCamper
4️⃣ Access data and notifications remotely
Compatibility with Victron devices
iVtron is compatible with devices Victron Energy equipped with an interface VE.Direct and allows remote reading and transmission of the main parameters of the electrical system.
Supported devices
iVtron can be connected to:
SmartShunt / BMV – battery monitoring
MPPT charge controllers
DC-DC Orion
VE.Direct compatible inverters
The data is collected by the gateway and sent to the cloud SmartCamper, where they can be viewed in real time and in the history section.
Depending on the connected device, iVtron allows you to monitor:
voltage and current
state of charge (SOC)
power
charge/discharge status
key operating parameters
iVtron is designed for remote monitoring and supervision of the system, not for the advanced configuration of Victron devices.
iVtron and Cerbo GX were created with different objectives.
Cerbo GX is a Victron control unit dedicated to the advanced management of the Victron ecosystem.
iVtron is a multi-system IoT gateway, designed to integrate Victron devices into a larger system that includes sensors, security, and cloud services.
iVtron does not replace all Cerbo GX functions, but it is a simpler and more flexible solution for those who want:
remote monitoring of the system
integration with sensors and security systems
use in mobile and off-grid contexts
less complex installation
iVtron – Connect your Victron devices to the Internet easily and automatically
When should you choose iVtron?
iVtron is recommended if:
you want to remotely monitor your Victron system
you already use or plan to use environmental or safety sensors
you are looking single gateway for multiple systems
you operate in the RV, marine, or off-grid sectors
Bluetooth sensors (environmental and status)
iVtron integrates Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors for monitoring the environment and the status of the system, without the need for wiring or invasive installations.
The sensors communicate wirelessly with iVtron, which collects the data and sends it to the SmartCamper cloud for remote consultation.
Environmental sensors
iVtron supports Bluetooth environmental sensors for monitoring:
Temperature
Humidity
Atmospheric pressure
Main features
Installation completely wireless
Can be positioned freely within the monitored environment
Periodic reading and data history
Timestamp of measurements
Ideal for:
microclimate control
prevention of condensation or excessive humidity
monitoring of technical rooms, storage compartments, cabins, or isolated environments
Status sensors (windows/openings)
iVtron supports Bluetooth sensors open/close to check the status of:
windows
doors
hatches
technical accesses
Available features
Detection opening and closing
Event history
Timestamp for each event
Anti-tamper detection (sensor detachment)
Sending notifications via the cloud
These sensors allow you to know the actual status of accesses, even remotely.
Security integration
Bluetooth sensors are not standalone devices, but integral part of the iVtron ecosystem.
The events detected (openings, anomalies, sensor removal) can be:
recorded in history
viewed remotely
used for notifications and alerts
integrated with SmartCamper security systems
iVtron non è una centralina antifurto tradizionale, ma un smart hub which collects and centralizes security events.
In summary
With Bluetooth sensors, iVtron allows you to:
monitor the environment
control access and openings
increase the level of security
integrate different data into a single gateway
What the user interface looks like:
Our goal: to integrate everything you need for camping, boating, and off-grid living.
With iVtron we want to create a complete ecosystem, capable of collecting and unifying data from all useful devices on board.
We are working on the integration of:
Mopeka e Senso4s to monitor liquid levels and gas quantity in LPG cylinders
- BMS batterie al Litio
Epever devices
Compatibility with Home Assistant for advanced home automation
And we are not stopping there: sensors, cameras and many other technologies will soon be part of our system!

iVtron and Cerbo GX have different philosophies::
Cerbo GX is a control unit dedicated to the complete management of the Victron ecosystem.
iVtron is a multi-system IoT gatewaythat integrates Victron, sensors, batteries, and security into a single system with remote access.
iVtron uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors for:
temperature
humidity
pressure
stato di porte, finestre e aperture
status of doors, windows, and openings
The distance depends on:
Sensor type
Environment
Presence of obstacles or shielding
Under normal conditions, communication is reliable inside standard-sized vehicles, boats, and off-grid structures. all’interno di veicoli, imbarcazioni e strutture off-grid di dimensioni standard.
No.
The sensors use BLEtechnology, designed for very low power consumption and long battery life. Up to three years.
ivtron is not a traditional anti-theft control unit with sirens or direct actuators. It is a smart hub that:
collects events
records openings and anomalies
sends remote notifications
integrates with SmartCamper security systems
Sì, per il monitoraggio remoto.
iVtron necessita di una connessione a Internet (Wi-Fi o modem) per inviare i dati al cloud SmartCamper.

ricevi notifiche e avvisi
No.
iVtron è adatto a:
camper e van
imbarcazioni
impianti off-grid
strutture isolate
Ovunque sia necessario monitorare un impianto a distanza.
