The user benefit of STARSHIP is:
- A system can be completely delivered and operational without the smartphone layer. Smart Switches bring master and sub-master control and up to 6 way switching. Sounds complex but it isn't. It is kept "Simple Stupid". The wireless is the "New" but you can still have wired CAN based switches "the Old".
- Small Investment can be made to switch the really hard stuff easily: example is switching rear spot lights on a caravan from vehicle cab. Less then a $400 investment and easy to implement.
- Then, when a user wishes to add automation, Scene control, smartphone App control or remote monitoring, they simply install the WiFi protocol "Matter" as an overlay network. The user can then redefine switch modes and scene automation without programming by others. Its all done on the Smartphone. Its all Wireless. This wireless is the "New".
The commercial benefit to the vehicle fitout builder is:
- Significant reduction in installation complexity. Installation time, cabling cost and weight, commissioning time and troubleshooting time are all at an absolute minimum.
- Significant improvement in simplicity of use.
- Affordable new technology for users. Generally half the price of traditional systems.
The Bluetooth connectivity uses the new IEEE 802.15.4 transport layer. Results are 100m line of sight and 40m through metal skins. This is used for th wireless physical switches and the RADAR Tank Monitoring. They cooperate independently of the other communication methods with high encrypted security. They are battery operated with a minimum of 4 year life.
Plain Switch buttons on the outside -

Safiery STAR-touch 7inch Display:
- We thought about using touch screens just for switching, but Smart Switches are the future. Instead, the 7in STAR-Touch display is used for a wider range of options: digital switching, energy flows with Victron app.
- We add our compact modem which is also WiFi router so you can operate without the internet from the touch screen. The Touch Screen is Wireless and can be placed anywhere with 12V power supply.
Smart Switches on Inside.
- Reduces the number of buttons needed when using dual colour lights.
- This reduces console complexity.
- Double press a switch to change to an alternative LED colour, typically amber.
- Double press again and both colours are combined: white and amber gives a golden glow.
- When using RGBW lights, two completely different colours can be selected for the double press.
One App Does it ALL
- Starship is designed to work seamlessly with Apple, Android,Amazon or Samsung. It can do this with or without the internet. A small hub needs to be added.
- You can then switch devices and see their status from anywhere with internet or locally with no internet.
- You can build your own automations on the smartphone.
- Modes or button assignment are done easily with the smartphone app. You can even turn on the rear van work lights from the vehicle console wirelessly.
- “Night Mode” all the lights can be off with the option of a well dimmed floor light in the ensuite if desired. “Travel Mode” all the lights off, water pumps off, hot water off, fridges running. Switch the aircon on so the van is chilled when you arrive after travelling.
STAR-power Controlled Using CARPLAY or Android Auto
No need to install switches in console
Link Directly with CARPLAY or Android Auto
- Our Starship services analyse your energy usage every day and night and alerts you to energy limitations. Just set the number of days camping before you depart and STARship does the rest.
- Enjoy glamping and push the boundaries of the universe. Let us do the analysing for you. Its all done “in the stars” rather than the “cloud”.
- Our Smartphone App is compatible with CARPLAY or ANDROID Auto to bring all the switching into the vehicle console wirelessly. Switch devices on and off from the vehicle or just check everything is off.
- Switch any device on/off from your smartphone either at the RV with no internet or if there is internet from anywhere on line. See your fridge temperature, turn devices on/off from anywhere. With selected cameras, see the camera view from anywhere with internet or Starlink.

Short Circuit Test
Cuts out in 80/millionths of a second
Fuseless Circuits.
- Easy to say, hard to do. As an added safety to the digital circuit control in software, most put an overall fuse on the power supply and recommend cable sizes greater than the fuse protection. (Garmin, CZone)
- The problem is if the DIY uses a 1mm2 wire for a LED circuit and it short circuits, the wire can melt and catch fire.
- We took a different route to current limits because there are in-rush currents, operating currents and short circuit currents.
- Our design slices time to reduce the total amount of watts of energy. Target is less than 5W of energy.
- When a short circuit occurs, power cuts in 80 millionths/second.
- it is an incredible feat: 80/millionths using reliable German chips.
Simplicity is Complexity Resolved.
To achieve simplicity for users, Apple, Google, Samsung and Amazon decided to adopt a common standard. Yah-Hoo I hear you say. The result is easy for the user, but incredibly complex for the manufacturer.
Devices compliant with the standard will interact seamlessly regardless of brand.
- Forget hubs and bridges,
- Every Matter approved device goes through stringent 3rd party lab testing for approval. Once approved a unique QR code is published for each individual device which is pre-registered with the standards organization.
- It is impossible to have poor quality copy cats.
- Think of the devices you’re installing speaking different languages, but Matter bridges the gap, enabling communication and automation regardless of manufacturer.
- This interoperability means consumers can mix and match devices, creating a truly customised network with devices that work in harmony with each other.
- Matter works without the internet over local WiFi. Yet when the internet is available, it seamlessly connects. This makes it perfect for mobile applications.
- There are over 1800 devices now, mainly appliances, that operate with Matter. This means just ONE app will operate thousands of devices and lights from your smartphone. You can arrange custom automation on your smartphone.
