ROAMiQ Chip: RS485

ROAMiQ RS485 Integration Chip

Connect compatible RS485 devices directly into the ROAMiQ ecosystem.

The ROAMiQ RS485 Chip allows compatible RS485-based components to communicate with the ROAMiQ Control Hub, bringing more third-party systems, sensors, controllers, and equipment into one unified control platform.

RS485 is commonly used in vehicle, marine, industrial, power, climate, and automation equipment because it is stable, reliable, and well-suited for wired communication over longer distances. With the ROAMiQ RS485 Chip, supported RS485 devices can become part of your connected vehicle environment, allowing ROAMiQ to monitor, control, and automate more of the systems inside your build.

Key Features

RS485 Communication Support
Adds RS485 communication capability for compatible devices, allowing them to interface with the ROAMiQ Control Hub.

Expanded Device Compatibility
Designed to help integrate supported RS485-based components, including select power systems, sensors, climate equipment, lighting controllers, water systems, relays, and other automation devices.

Centralized Monitoring and Control
Bring compatible RS485 equipment into the ROAMiQ interface so users can monitor status, view data, and control supported functions from the ROAMiQ screen or connected interface.

Automation Ready
Use RS485-connected devices as part of ROAMiQ scenes, alerts, and automations. Trigger actions based on sensor data, equipment status, temperature, power conditions, or other supported device feedback.

Reliable Wired Communication
RS485 is a proven wired communication standard known for noise resistance and dependable performance in complex electrical environments, making it well-suited for campervans, RVs, marine systems, fleet vehicles, and specialty builds.

Clean System Integration
Reduces the need for isolated displays, separate controllers, and disconnected monitoring points by allowing compatible equipment to report into ROAMiQ.

Important Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended. Proper wiring, polarity, termination, grounding, device addressing, and communication settings must be verified before installation.

The installer is responsible for confirming that the connected device is compatible with the ROAMiQ RS485 Integration Chip and that all supported functions operate safely and correctly after installation.

Case size: 61.6 × 41.6 × 16.6 mm (2.43 × 1.64 × 0.65 in), approx. The RJ45 jack adds about 2.6 mm on top.
