ONE MONITOR DOES IT ALL !

While I didn ’ t test the water level indication function of the ProSmart – as this would ’ ve required some amount of rewiring of my van – I did spend quite a bit of time with the other functions and even installed the unit myself .
ProSmart comes in a kit that includes everything you need to get going . The kit includes the SmartLink , the central node that collects the information from the sensors before sending it to the app . The SmartLink must be wired to the van ’ s battery via the supplied cables ( the positive cable has an inline 5A fuse ); therefore , the location of the van ’ s battery will , to a large extent , dictate where you mount the SmartLink .
The sensor that monitors the ambient temperature ( known as the TempSense ) is easy to connect to the SmartLink .
The kit also includes two SmartPressure tyre pressure monitoring transmitters ( complete with an anti-theft system ). These transmitters are screwed to the valve stems of the tyres you wish to monitor .
One SmartTemp sensor for wirelessly monitoring a specific location , such as the fridge ’ s internal temperature , is also included , as is a SmartSense gas cylinder monitor . The gas cylinder monitor uses magnets to attach to the base of the cylinder .
