CarPotato replaces the traditional relay panel with a fully networked, remotely accessible controller that monitors your environment, protects your battery, and executes complex automation on command. Expandable I/O over one CAN bus, local radios with no subscription, and optional cellular or satellite reach when you want it.
Three tiers, one platform. Every bundle is built on the same base unit and the same touchscreen remote, so you grow by adding modules on the CAN bus - never by replacing what you already own.
The smallest complete system. App and touchscreen-remote control of your core 12V circuits, local-first, no subscription.
1× Main Unit · 1× Output Module · 1× Touchscreen Remote · 1× Harness Set
Adds input monitoring and position. Your rig reads its own state and knows where it is, which unlocks geofencing and position-aware automation.
1× Main Unit · 2× Output · 1× Input · 1× GPS · 1× Touchscreen Remote · 1× Harness Set
Output-heavy, with the dash instrument cluster. The built-out overland or work-truck setup, with live tilt, pitch, and altitude on the dash.
1× Main Unit · 3× Output · 1× GPS · 1× Inclinometer · 1× Touchscreen Remote · 1× Harness Set
Every module is also sold on its own: high-current output, RGBW lighting, pan/tilt, audio, remote start, external LoRa, and optional cellular or satellite reach. Add any of them and they auto-discover on the bus. GPS is always a module, and cellular and satellite are always standalone, so the base unit stays local-first.

Onboard long-range LoRa, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Dual CAN: a module bus for CarTot expansion and a vehicle/OBD tap. External SMA antennas. Local-first - the base unit runs with no internet at all.
Standalone handheld with TFT display. Full relay control up to 2+ miles without cellular. Works even if your phone is dead.
A remote with a built-in 3.5" touchscreen. Local WiFi control with visual status. Dash-mounted or passenger use.
Smart modules on one CAN bus, each running the same firmware core. Analog Input, Smart Output, RGBW Lighting, Pan/Tilt Spotlight, Acoustic Array, and the Inclinometer Cluster. They auto-discover on the bus - add a module, it appears in the app.
Optional cellular and satellite modules join the same CAN bus for off-grid reach. Bring your own SIM or service - there is no BrenduhNet subscription. The hardware is yours; the sky is not.
