Revotion

What Revotion does

Revotion GmbH is a Düsseldorf-based private company founded in 2020 that designs, manufactures, and sells a modular smart home and control system for recreational vehicles, including campervans, motorhomes, caravans, and boats. The architecture consists of a central hub branded 'BRAIN' (with onboard GPS) that wirelessly connects to peripheral modules called 'Nodes' over Bluetooth. Each Node handles a discrete function: Node Switch for digital load switching (lights, pumps, refrigerators), Node Level for tank level sensing, Node Battery for battery and power-flow monitoring, Node Temp for indoor/outdoor temperature sensing, Node Ambient for RGB lighting control, and Node Connect for bus-interface integration of third-party devices. End users operate the system through a smartphone or tablet app with customizable widget layouts, and a cloud service branded 'REVOTION Remote' enables off-vehicle control and pre-heating.

The company's commercial model is hardware-driven: the Brain starts at €299, with additional Nodes and accessories sold separately through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop (shop.revotion.de). Distribution is supplemented by a dealer and installation partner network across Germany, Switzerland (via Autosolar.ch as authorized Swiss retailer), and Austria, supported by free one-on-one configuration consultations with a Sales Manager. The most strategically important capability is the Node Connect bus interface, which integrates with category-leading RV OEMs including Truma, Eberspächer, and Ecoflow, consolidating previously fragmented control panels into a single app. Revotion has won the European Innovation Award in both the 'Innovative Startup' and 'Connectivity' categories for two consecutive years, validating early brand credibility in the RV/boat electronics segment.

The company is founder-led under managing directors Jasper Ehmcke and Alexander Reichmann, with a headcount of 11–50 employees and operations concentrated in the DACH region. Marketing and documentation are localized in German, English, and Swiss German; the firm maintains a careers page, an Intercom-based help center ('University'), and GDPR-compliant data handling for its cloud-enabled services. There are no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or funding rounds in the available source material.

Core offering

Revotion designs, manufactures and sells a modular smart control system for caravans, motorhomes and boats. The system centres on a BRAIN hub that communicates wirelessly with interchangeable NODE sensor and actuator modules (Switch, Level, Temp, Battery, Ambient, Connect) to manage lighting, climate, tank levels, battery status and third-party devices such as Truma, Eberspächer and Ecoflow through a mobile app and cloud-based remote access.

Product overview

REVOTION is a modular smart home and control system for campers, RVs, and boats. The system consists of the BRAIN (central hub/computer with built-in GPS) as the core, connected wirelessly to various NODE modules (Switch, Level, Temp, Battery, Ambient, Connect) that each handle specific functions like device switching, tank level monitoring, temperature sensing, battery management, LED lighting, and third-party device integration. Users control everything through the REVOTION App, with REVOTION Remote providing cloud-based remote access. Starting price is €299 for the BRAIN.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• KUS: KUS produces sensors and digital gauges for marine, RV, and industrial applications, including tank level and engine monitoring. As a sensor-focused emerging player, it overlaps with REVOTION's Node Level and Node Battery capabilities in the same end markets.

Broad incumbents

• Garmin: Garmin's marine electronics division offers integrated MFDs, vessel monitoring, and the ActiveCaptain ecosystem for connected boat control. It is a broad incumbent in the boat-owner segment that REVOTION also targets, with significant overlap in onboard monitoring and remote-access functionality.
• Eberspächer: Eberspächer supplies heating and climate systems for automotive, RV, and marine markets with its own control interfaces and bus protocols. Like Truma, it is both an integration partner through Node Connect and a broad incumbent whose own control solutions could compete with REVOTION.
• Truma: Truma is a leading European RV heating and climate OEM whose iNet X system already provides app-based climate and device control. Truma is simultaneously a key REVOTION integration partner and a competitor whose in-house control ecosystem could displace REVOTION at the OEM level.
• Lippert: Lippert is one of the largest North American RV component suppliers, including electronics, control systems, and power solutions. Its broad portfolio and OEM scale position it as a broad incumbent that could bundle a competing unified control solution into new RVs.
• Dometic: Dometic is a global incumbent in RV and marine climate, sanitation, and power equipment with its own control systems and apps. As a broad incumbent with deep OEM relationships, it represents both a competitor and a potential acquirer or partner for REVOTION's technology.

Direct peers

• CBE: CBE is an Italian manufacturer of control panels, distribution boards, and battery management systems specifically designed for RVs and caravans. Its integrated control panels compete with REVOTION's Brain + Node Switch combination for the OEM and aftermarket RV control-panel slot.
• Votronic: Votronic manufactures RV power, charging, and monitoring electronics including tank level displays, battery computers, and control panels for the German and European caravan market. Its modular electronics portfolio and DACH focus make it a direct competitor in the same dealer channel.
• Victron Energy: Victron Energy offers the Cerbo GX / Venus OS hardware-and-software platform with the VRM cloud portal for monitoring and controlling RV, marine, and off-grid power systems. It is the closest direct peer to REVOTION in combining a central hub, modular sensors, and a cloud/mobile control app for recreational vehicles and boats.
• Simarine: Simarine builds digital battery monitors, tank level sensors, and shunt-based control modules for boats and RVs, controlled via a smartphone app and gateway. It overlaps directly with REVOTION's Node Battery and Node Level use cases and the centralized mobile-app control model.
