My outlets and appliances are turning off by themselves about every 15 minutes, meaning the fridge goes warm while we are away. I am on shore power and the battery is at 100%. Did I hit a timer setting?
Update: it appeared the trailer had been put into boondocking mode in the app. There is an outlet timer in that mode. I turned it off, and the outlets have stayed on.
Sleep mode means refrigerator off.
Could the auto-sleep threshold be lowered from 80% to 30%, or made owner-configurable? New owners report the fridge sleeping with the rest of the unit at 80% when not on shore power.
The fridge is not connected to the AC power timer. It turns off only when the vehicle is asleep.
There is an auto-sleep function to prevent vehicle depletion.
That is good to know. We will watch for that.
The fridge should not go off while conserving power unless it is specifically turned off or power is critically low.
Agreed. Luckily nothing could spoil this time. I suspect those controls will be separated in a future app update.
Things were warm in the fridge. I received a few sleep-mode notifications, so perhaps something was corrupted. I reset the app and trailer and turned off boondock mode. So far, so good.
Pebble is aware of this community feedback but cannot yet say how it will be addressed.
Could owners set the state of charge that triggers sleep? A 20–30% threshold would make more sense for a multi-day boondocking trip.
We have been down to 24% state of charge without triggering auto sleep. I understood the set point to be 20%.
Any 12V load drains an RV battery. Because Pebble has a high-voltage battery, it can sustain the 12V system and refrigerator longer than a traditional RV, as long as the vehicle does not sleep.
The FCC published restrictions on Wi-Fi- and Bluetooth-connected inverters. This could become a supply-chain issue for new Pebbles.
I am pretty sure solar charging keeps it awake too?
I want external solar input. My 440W portable panels at an optimal angle are producing more than the Pebble rooftop, and I am charging the Pebble from a portable power station.
My dad saw you driving by at some point. Small world—enjoy your time!
