Description: # pi-smart-camper
        The goal is to use a Raspberry Pi to provide some modern-era amenities, monitoring, and "smart-home" niceties to a vintage camper trailer.
        
        The camper in question is a 1972 Eco fiberglass egg, 
        which is a clone of the [Boler](http://www.boler-camping.com/portfolio/history-of-the-boler/).
        
        I'll keep the code and necessary docs here, but put more general how-to, details and a running progress log on https://www.smartercamper.com.
        
        Here's what's at least tentatively planned:
        * Plex, with a decent-size SSD drive to store movies
        * Temperature, motion and other sensors to monitor the trailer
        * WIFI boosting and cleaning (VPN)
        * A cellular modem to send messages if something is out of whack
        * An external power button, since the Pi will be hard-wired into the trailer.
        * A simple web server so I can monitor things with my phone.
        
        
        
        ## The cellular modem
        This is a giant pain, and I still don't know if I can actually get it to work or not.
        [The USB modem I purchased](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X129SNS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) took six weeks to arrive and came with almost no instructions. It took awhile to even figure out where to put the SIM card. Definitely not recommended. But it's what I have, and it _should_ work. I've copied the Linux instructions found on the modem itself here, but so far I don't trust them. We'll see.
        
        The instructions are hard to find because by default the modem doesn't want to mount on the Pi, and it doesn't appear as a USB drive, either. So that's fun. 
        
        
        ## Monitoring
        ### External temperature: _to come_
        ### Motion detection: _to come_
        ### Smoke detection: _to come_
        
        ### Internal temperature monitoring
        Given a lack of ventilation, I have some concerns about CPU temp. The `internal-temp.py` script will allow me to monitor it and if I see it get high, I can easily add a fan for extra cooling when the temp climbs.
        
        To-Do: have it run automatically in the background.
