Vega Touch

I know this has been discussed several times, but it seems it is never confirmed. I am wanting to download an App to control my lights and shades where I don't have to keep going to "THE WALL" to do everything. I have a 2017 Anthem. Fire Fly tells me that I need to use the Crestron App. Has anyone had any luck with the Vega Touch Apps. I am also looking into adding a wireless switch behind passenger seat to control only lights and shades.Any info would be appreciated.

I had a Crestron Anthem and I found the Crestron app to be largely useless. Now, I have the Nebula app on my phone and find it pretty much equally useless for avoiding have to walk to the wall..... it is slow and has gotten slower to connect. So I have found that getting, walking to the wall, and doing what needs to be done take less time and less effort than trying to do something from where I am seated. Maybe just MHO, but a strong one.

You need to meet eRVin

Here's a link to a thread that you might find interesting: https://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/veg...on-527558.html

It's possible (and not too difficult or expensive) to connect to the control system for many of the systems (lights, shades, locks, etc.) controlled thru the VegaTouch. That control works thru a simple smartphone app.

Here's a link to a website that gives a complete description of the capabilities of eRVin and instructions to add the capability to your coach.

Any time your smartphone is connected to the coach wifi (Pepwave), you can control those devices.

IF you have your Pepwave connected to the internet, there's a way to use eRVin from anywhere you have internet access. You're out of the coach for dinner and are on your way back after dark, you can use your smartphone to turn on the porch light and selected interior lights. You can even program the system to turn on lights based on location - some exterior lights turn on at local sunset.

I've been using eRVin for a couple of years and find it very useful.

The equipment expense ran ~$100 when I built mine.

Take care,
Stu

The app you want is Crestron Mobile Pro. I have it, use it occasionally for things like slide operation from outside, and shade adjustment, and it works fine if you understand the limitations. Does not control HVAC, and on our Vega Touch you must be connected to the RV, not to the internet. I do think that a hundred bucks is a bit sporty.

I have the Crestron Mobile Pro app installed on a couple of iPads. I use the eRVin free app on an Android smartphone.

I purchased the Crestron app shortly after we bought the coach and discovered eRVin about 2 years ago.

I don't experience the lag that Gary suggested with the Crestron app on the iPads. The Crestron app does allow some entertainment system control that's not available using eRVin, I find myself using eRVin much, much more than the Crestron app.

eRVin has a very handy capability to design various 'Scenes'. A 'Scene' allows you to set any variety of lights (on/off/intensity) and shades (up/down) so that you can command each of those actions with one touch selection on the eRVin phone app.

Take care,
Stu
