7.3.1 HobbyConnect

HobbyConnect enables most CIBUS-enabled components
in the motor home to be operated via mobile devices (smart-
phone/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 motor home are not con-
nected to the app via the demo version.
- The MyHobby app is only available for iOS or Android
operating systems.
- The MyHobby app is constantly being further developed
and updated. Therefore, new In-App functions are on offer
from time to time.
- An HTML version (access to the vehicle via Internet) 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 motor home
in order to establish a connection between the CIBUS-enabled
components in the motor home and the app.
*
The connection between the motor home 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 HobbyConnect system.
The SIM card includes a 12-month Telenor telephone contract
(for M2M data transmission via the Internet). The contractual
period begins as soon as the system has been connected to the
server via the SIM card. Before the term is over, the MyHobby
app will call on the user to purchase an extension for the tele-
phone contract. After 12 months, the SIM card will be deactiva-
ted if no extension has been purchased. If the existing contract
is extended, it is then possible to use the HobbyConnect system
for a further 12 months. If the subscription runs out, the SIM card
