Self Built SMARTEST Van EVER!

Char and Mike built one of the coolest and for sure smartest van I've seen. I met Mike a couple weeks before we recorded this video and begged him for a tour. He declined because he insisted to wait for Char to return from a trip and said she was part of the journey and wanted her to be part of the tour. How can I say no to that? They are both amazing and look forward to seeing more of them.

1 thing, charging station like the luggage armoire should recieve fireproof interial walls. Great job!

Thanks Jarrod for touring this van! I love the automation and the way that they chose to build using 80/20 and epoxy counters. We used some of the same techniques and are using Home Assistant in our build too.. I am really excited to see what Mike and Char post on their channel as they are light years ahead of me with their integrations.

I LOVE the I also love the wallpaper. Since heat rises, it's so nice to see drawer-style fridges. The others waste so much cold air when you open them. I love the pink the most.

I'm planning my trip to Nomadik now. If Mike can to the brainy stuff retro, that would be wild! And if anybody can do a central vacuum, its Mike. Great tour, Jarrod.

Awesome van build. Great video. If they've thought of all of this, they've thought of a second safe storage. Again, great video, and great couple. Maybe we're one step closer to the very practical man bun being destigmatized.

[DeanMacIsaac]

Dammit you beat me to it. I’ve been planning out a smart van. Using home kit and home assistant. I make my own esp32 sensors that I am adapting to do sensing in a van and also plugging in to canbus to get the van info.

OMG!!! Epic, brilliant, beautiful build! Absolutely mind blowing in every single way. Char, I want to meet you too! Jarrod, thank you so much for all the work you've done over the years to show us such truly amazing builds!

i knew home assistant was powerful, but while i figured you could do some sort of input control, i wasnt sure how it would be done

[thomasmclaughlim]

Domestic van I've ever seen... good on you guys!!! Rad

[TeamYankee]

Do you have a video or more infomation on setting up the Home Assist display ?

[felishagathright]

Pretty but too smart. Does it have manual over rides?
