7. Installation of electrical devices
HobbyConnect enables most CIBUS-enabled components in the
caravan to be operated via mobile devices (smartphone/tablet/PC/
notebook). At present, the "MyHobby" app is required for this.
Normally, the MyHobby app is free of charge and available as a
demo version even without the HobbyConnect system.
The components in your own caravan are not con-
nected to the app via the demo version.
- The MyHobby app is only available for iOS or An-
droid operating systems.
- The MyHobby app is constantly being improved and
updated. Therefore, new In-App functions are on offer
from time to time.
- An HTML version (access to the vehicle via Inter-
net) is currently being developed.
- It is possible to access HTML using the following link:

There must be a HobbyConnect system (i.e. an installed Connect
Box with an integrated SIM card) in the caravan in order to establish
a connection between the CIBUS-enabled components in the ca-
ravan and the app.
The connection between the caravan and the app can only be
established if the Connect Box has been activated on the server
and assigned to the corresponding vehicle. In order to activate the
Connect Box, the access code (MyHobby Code) must be entered
in the MyHobby app.
Upon request by the customer, the responsible dealer
will activate the Connect Box. The customer will then
receive the access code via e-mail or the appropriate
key card will be handed over by the dealer.
The Connect Box automatically connects itself to the
server via the SIM card as soon as the Box has been
connected to the electric system. Only connect the Box
to the on-board equipment just before using the Hobby-
Connect system.
The SIM card includes a 12-month m2m telephone contract (for
data transmission via the Internet). The contractual period begins as
soon as the system has been connected. Before the term is over, the
MyHobby app will call on the user to purchase an extension for the
telephone contract. After 12 months, the SIM card will be deactivated
if no extension has been purchased. It is then possible to extend
the existing contract for a further 12 months. After this deadline has
expired, the SIM card will become invalid. In order to reactivate the
HobbyConnect system, a new SIM card must be purchased from
the Hobby dealer.
