Heated floors + engine pre-heat (cold weather comfort)¶
Support tier: C
Bring cold-weather comfort controls into one place: heated floors, engine pre-heat, and other “warm-up” routines that make winter van life less punishing.
What you need¶
- A controllable heated floor system (relay/thermostat/integration)
- Optional: an engine pre-heat solution (hardware dependent)
- Temperature sensors (interior/ambient)
What RoamCore would do¶
- Provide a single “Warm up” scene (HVAC + power-safe checks)
- Surface temperatures and clear state (“Heating”, “Maintaining”, “Off”)
Common automations (ideas)¶
- Use electric heating when on shore power
- Pre-warm the van when you arrive back (presence)
- Disable high loads if battery SOC is low
