Plans Enabling Voice Control & AI of More Sub-Systems by Q1 2019
September 26th, 2018 – Meridian, Idaho – WiFiRanger, the leader in Innovative RV solutions, today announced additional support and intentions for new bridges allowing voice and AI control and monitoring of industry leading solutions for the RV industry. The initiative will include support for devices from Xantrex, Firefly Integrations, Garnet SeeLevel, Silverleaf, Yak Power Systems, and KIB Systems.
“Our open design is allowing us to quickly build bridges to voice enable other devices that have traditionally not allowed this kind of functionality. We will work with these initial vendors to improve the value proposition to their customers with a seamless “Hey Ranger” capability built within the RV by Q1 of 2019.”

The ‘Hey Ranger Ready’ initiative is an open based way of registering and sharing control protocols of new and legacy RV systems allowing owners of WiFiRanger AI Universal Assistant’s to summon control and status of their RV via voice. Based on the growing standards of skills and voice interpretation tools, WiFIRanger has began building a skills database and aligning the control mechanisms based around IP, Bluetooth, or proprietary hardware protocols, and making those skills available to WiFiRanger owners for installation upon their AI Universal Assistants.
For proprietary systems already in the field, WiFiRanger has began building hardware bridges that allow connection to the AI system via a custom hardware device that interprets and encodes the legacy information, passing it to and from the AI system for processing.
The open approach taken allows OE’s to still select from the best system solutions on the market, and then request vendors to provide their control protocols to build skills that sync with the WIFIRanger, or, use one of the hardware bridges that WIFRanger has engineered to run each proprietary system solution.
“As an example of the power of our initiative, we built a hardware bridge to the legendary SeeLevel II tank management system, allowing any owner of these systems to summon tank status by simply asking. We will work with any systems provider in helping them develop skills for their systems, and can also assist in designing hardware bridges to the proprietary hardware.”
