ONDA – smart connectivity for recreational vehicles
The digital heart of connected recreational vehicles
A platform for vehicle functions, energy and digital services
Modern recreational vehicles are equipped with more and more electronic components and functions. ONDA brings these systems together in a scalable digital platform, creating an intelligent connection between the vehicle, components and user. Instead of viewing individual systems independently, relevant information and functions are made accessible centrally.
With ONDA Connectivity, compatible vehicle functions can be monitored and controlled digitally. The ONDA Smart System focuses on the smart monitoring and management of energy supply. ONDA Retrofitting also makes it possible to gradually enhance existing vehicles with digital functions. In this way, AL-KO VT offers a modular platform for different vehicle concepts and requirements.
ONDA at a glance
One platform – different possibilities
From digital vehicle access to smart energy management, ONDA is not a single product solution, but a modular platform. Depending on the vehicle, existing on-board electrical system and the desired functionality, different solutions are available.
- ONDA Connectivity: Connects compatible vehicle functions and enables their monitoring and control via a central app.
- ONDA Smart System: Makes relevant energy data transparent and supports the monitoring and management of batteries, solar energy and power consumption.
- ONDA Retrofitting: Enables the integration of digital ONDA Connectivity functions into existing recreational vehicles.
- Modular expansion: Functions and compatible components can be integrated depending on the vehicle concept.
- Central access: Relevant information is clearly presented via digital control interfaces.
ONDA Retrofitting
Digitally retrofit existing recreational vehicles
Existing recreational vehicles can also be integrated into the digital ONDA world. With ONDA Connectivity Retrofitting, existing on-board electrical systems can be specifically expanded with modern connectivity, monitoring and control functions. The present vehicle architecture does not need to be completely replaced.
Depending on the existing equipment, compatible components can be integrated into the system and expanded step by step. ONDA Retrofitting is therefore particularly suitable for motorhomes and caravans whose existing on-board electrical system is to be supplemented with digital functions.
Benefits at a glance:
- Digitally retrofit existing vehicles
- Continue to use the existing on-board electrical system
- Add app-based control and monitoring
- Modular expansion according to vehicle and requirements
- Use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optionally cloud connection
Which ONDA retrofit kit is right for my vehicle?
Find the compatible solution using the product finder in just a few steps
Which retrofit solution is suitable depends on the already installed on-board electrical system. The ONDA Retrofitting product finder helps you identify the right kit for your vehicle.
Simply select:
- Vehicle
- installed electrical system or distribution module
- existing control panel
- suitable ONDA retrofit kit
If no suitable solution is found, compatibility can be checked on an individual basis.
Which ONDA solution is right for my vehicle?
Connectivity, energy management or retrofitting – the desired range of functions is decisive
If you would like to centrally monitor vehicle functions such as energy supply, tank information, temperature or lighting, and control compatible devices via app, ONDA Connectivity is the right solution.
If you mainly want to monitor your vehicle's energy supply transparently and collect information on batteries, consumption and solar output, the ONDA Smart System is designed for just that.
If you already own a recreational vehicle with an existing on-board electrical system and would like to supplement it with modern connectivity functions, ONDA Connectivity Retrofitting is the right entry point. The product finder helps you identify a compatible retrofit solution for the current system.
Frequently asked questions about ONDA
ONDA is the digital platform from AL-KO VT for connected recreational vehicles. It combines vehicle control, energy management and digital connectivity, and forms the basis for ONDA Connectivity, ONDA Smart System and ONDA Retrofitting.
ONDA Connectivity focuses on the networking and digital operation of compatible vehicle functions. ONDA Smart System is geared towards the monitoring and management of energy supply and provides, for example, battery, consumption and solar data.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, for example, battery and tank information, temperatures, lighting and further compatible devices can be monitored or controlled. Additionally, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optional remote access are available.
ONDA Connectivity already supports compatible components from various manufacturers. CBE currently lists, among others, systems for heating and air conditioning, batteries, refrigerators, inverters, lighting and gas sensors. The list is being expanded with further tested and released integrations.
Yes, ONDA Connectivity retrofit solutions are available for existing recreational vehicles. Whether a specific vehicle is compatible depends on the installed on-board electrical system. The ONDA Retrofitting product finder helps you select a suitable solution.
In the ONDA Retrofitting product finder, select your vehicle, existing electrical system and installed control panel. The compatible retrofit kit will then be displayed – if available.
For certain local functions, ONDA Connectivity can use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. For remote access, cloud and SIM-based functions are available. Which connection is required therefore depends on the respective function.
The current ONDA Smart System includes primarily the BDS200 Battery Duo System, the PRM400 MPPT solar charge controller, and the AM shunts AM150, AM260 and AM500.
