Safety & Security

Bilge / High Water Alerts

  • Wireless leak detection in critical areas
  • Place sensors near water pumps & seacocks
  • Instant phone notifications + onboard siren

Example: Detect a failed through-hull or loose hose clamp before water reaches dangerous levels.

Bilge Pump Activity Monitoring

  • Track pump cycles & runtime
  • Spot excessive cycling or failures early
  • History for pattern analysis

Example: Alert when the pump runs more often than expected — likely a new leak or sticky float.

Smoke Detection

  • Immediate siren/horn activation
  • Remote emergency notifications
  • Integrates with visual strobes

Example: Early alert lets you respond to electrical smoke before it escalates.

Audible / Visual Alarms

  • 90 dB sirens with multiple tones
  • High-visibility strobe lighting
  • Can trigger main horn

Example: Siren + strobe wakes crew and signals nearby boats during critical alerts.

Perimeter Security

  • Motion & intrusion detection
  • Arming when unattended
  • Multi-channel notifications

Example: You’re at dinner ashore; phone alerts if someone boards the boat.

Engine & Mechanical Systems

Comprehensive Engine Temperature Monitoring

  • Four points: coolant, thermostat, raw-water, alternator
  • Custom thresholds & early warnings
  • Trend history for diagnostics

Example: Raw-water 38→42 °C suggests worn impeller or clogged raw-water filter.

Oil Pressure Monitoring

  • Real-time pressure with trend analysis
  • Critical low-pressure alerts
  • Maintenance insights from slow drifts

Example: Slow drop 4.2→3.8 bar over weeks — likely an oil leak — fix it before it becomes serious.

Digital Tachometer

  • Precise RPM with overspeed protection
  • Automatic engine-hours logging
  • Performance analysis vs. conditions

Example: Alert if RPM exceeds your set limit.

Multi-Tank Level Monitoring

  • Fuel, fresh, grey, and black water
  • Accurate digital levels
  • Plan resupply with confidence

Example: Alert when fresh water hits 20% — plan refill on tomorrow’s route.

Electrical, Battery & Power Systems

Advanced Battery Monitoring

  • SOC tracking for all chemistries
  • High-current & anomaly alerts
  • Capacity & health analytics

Example: Set a max discharge threshold — detect a lithium short or massive draw and sound the siren.

Multi-Channel Power Monitoring

  • Monitor banks, loads, and solar
  • Identify culprit circuits quickly
  • Historical usage insights

Example: See instantaneous loads from the wind generator and anchor winch.

Solar Power Integration

  • Real-time solar production
  • “Excess power” automations
  • Smart load scheduling

Example: At 100% SOC and >15 A PV, automatically start the watermaker.

Battery Temperature Protection

  • Thermal monitoring in battery spaces
  • Alerts on unsafe temperatures
  • Automation hooks available

Example: Alert if battery bay exceeds your safe temperature threshold.

Position, Anchor & Navigation

Intelligent Anchor Watch

  • Reliable GPS-based drag detection
  • Customizable geofence zones
  • Works on or off the boat

Example: While ashore, get an alert if the boat exits its geofenced anchor zone.

Anchor Chain Counter + Smart Scope

  • Accurate chain deployment count
  • Intelligent scope recommendations
  • Improved holding confidence

Example: 7 m depth → suggests ~42 m chain based on conditions.

Boat Tracking (Friends & Family)

  • Share live position privately
  • Simple link for family & friends
  • Great for passages & rallies

Example: Family can follow your passage without constant check-ins.

Integrations, Control & Remote Access

NMEA 0183/2000 Auto-Discovery

  • Auto-discovers all connected devices
  • Entities appear in dashboards automatically
  • Clean, unified integration

Example: New wind sensor is detected and added without manual setup.

Virtual Switches

  • Remote control of lights, pumps, horns
  • Works from phone, tablet, or panel
  • Secure local & remote control

Example: Turn on deck lights from the dinghy when returning at night.

Remote Monitoring

  • Full access from phone over cellular/Wi-Fi
  • Real-time dashboards & alerts
  • Secure remote control

Example: Check bilge status and anchor watch from shore.
