Ampy Energy Insight Module

Fuses you never replace

Each of the six outputs has an electronic fuse, freely adjustable from 0.5A up to the full channel current. If it trips, you see it instantly in the dashboard, including the reason, and reset it with a single tap. No spare fuse in the glovebox, no screwdriver, no fuse box behind the bench. And because you pick the trip characteristic per load (fast, normal or slow), the water pump may draw a brief surge on start-up while the LED strip may not.

Strong enough for the big loads

24A continuous per output, up to 32A short-term, and 120A across all six outputs together. Compressor fridge, inverter, diesel heater, pressure water pump: not a special case, just everyday use. Ampy detects automatically whether your system runs on 12V or 24V. There is nothing to set.

You see where your power goes

Ampy measures voltage, current and power for every output and shows it to you live, measured rather than estimated. For the first time you know in black and white what the fridge draws, what the heater costs and where the battery really goes overnight. That is how you plan off-grid living instead of guessing. An adjustable under- and over-voltage protection per load also shields your battery from deep discharge and sensitive devices from voltage spikes.

Every output becomes what you need

In the dashboard you create a widget for each output and choose what is connected there: light, water pump, fridge, boiler, awning, pop-top roof and more. The widget then stands for the function itself, not for a technical power channel. Motors such as pop-top roof, awning or step run on two outputs with a direction lock. Ampy never allows both directions at once, because the interlock lives right inside the device. A short wizard guides you through setup. Afterwards you can rename or adjust any widget at any time, with no rebuild.

Switch and dim light without an extra device

Every output can not only switch light but also dim it, up to 5A per output. That covers reading lamps, kitchen and bathroom lights, spots and white LED strips. At the wall switch, a short press turns it on and off, holding makes it brighter or darker, and a double tap switches every light in the vehicle off. That is your goodnight switch with no extra wiring.

Operation without relearning

You operate Ampy however suits you: at a wall button or switch (one per output), on the SmartKnob or in the browser dashboard, where every device on the vehicle WiFi becomes a remote, with no app at all. Everything is equal and in sync. What happens at the button appears instantly in the dashboard and vice versa. Right on the device, a light per output shows the real state: blue means power is on, red means off. Even with a dead phone you see at once what is actually running.

Your wall buttons, straight on Ampy

Ampy is not a radio receiver that only works with a hub. Your wall buttons connect directly to Ampy, and all settings live in the device itself. That makes your installation robust: you switch and dim lights, water pump and fan right at the wall button, and fuses as well as under- and over-voltage protection always work inside Ampy. This even works without any setup: a freshly connected Ampy responds to its wall buttons straight away, handy for a first test during installation. The display, dashboard, automations and the double tap for all lights come via the SmartKnob.

With the heating element in your boiler, Ampy is deliberately cautious: if the SmartKnob stops responding while it heats, Ampy switches it off after 10 minutes and keeps it off until you deliberately reset the fuse. That way your boiler never heats unattended. This protection is stored in Ampy itself and is active again right after a power cut.

Protection that thinks ahead

Ampy monitors current, voltage and temperature at the same time and switches into a safe state in case of a fault. After a fault, the affected output stays off. If only Ampy loses power, it restores the last state of its outputs by itself once power is back, and your settings are preserved. A boiler heating element that Ampy has already locked stays off until you deliberately reset the fuse. And anyone who keeps resetting a fuse while the fault remains gets a short enforced pause. That way a real defect is not clicked away until something gets hot.

Safety to automotive standard

Ampy is developed to ISO 26262 up to ASIL B, the functional-safety standard by which airbags, ABS and electronic steering are built in cars. Put simply: it is not enough for a device to work normally. It must also be thought through and proven what happens when something fails. Picture two drivers: one hopes nothing goes wrong, the other already has a plan B for every fault. Ampy is the second one. If the main controller fails, an independent second watchdog takes over and brings all outputs into the safe state in a controlled way, like a co-pilot watching over the pilot. ASIL B is the safety level reached here, and the scale runs from A to D. The key semiconductors in the power and safety path are additionally AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified, built for hard continuous use in a vehicle. In this depth, that is the exception in camper accessories, not the rule.

Wired in minutes

The loads go into high-quality Phoenix lever terminals up to 4mm²: lever up, wire in, lever down, no tools needed. The button wires plug into removable spring terminals that you can prepare at the workbench and simply plug in inside the vehicle. Only the main supply is bolted to two solid M6 studs, where it belongs.

Part of the Camper Jarvis system

Ampy connects wirelessly and entirely locally to the SmartKnob, with no dedicated control wire and no cloud. Once paired, Ampy finds its system again by itself, even after a power interruption. Ampy plays together with the other modules: water from Fluidy, battery from Volty, lighting mood from Lighty, heating from Heaty, all in one dashboard. New features arrive wirelessly through the dashboard.

Find faults instead of hunting for them

Ampy has built-in self-diagnostics. They remember technical events such as voltage dips, tripped fuses or an overloaded output, even across a power cut. If something ever goes wrong, your dealer or our support sees the cause straight away instead of searching for it. That saves guesswork, back-and-forth and often a workshop visit. The self-diagnostics know how the device is doing, not what you are doing: they hold no personal data at all.

Good to know: Ampy protects the loads behind it. Protecting the main feed and the battery remains the job of the vehicle installation. Dimming goes up to 5A per output, switching handles far more. For coloured ambient lighting with RGBWW, colour changes and ultra-fine, flicker-free dimming, Lighty is the tool. Ampy dims utility light, Lighty creates lighting mood.
