Connect NMEA 0183 to a Raspberry Pi

Connecting your boat’s NMEA 0183 data to a Raspberry Pi is straightforward with Home Assistant and my menu-driven integrations. Choose TCP/Wi-Fi (no extra cables, works with Signal K or Wi-Fi gateways) or go USB Serial (RS232/RS422) for a robust wired feed. Either way, you’ll stream instrument data into custom dashboards, create alerts, and build automations

Connect NMEA 2000 to a Raspberry Pi

Connecting your boat’s NMEA 2000 (N2K) network to a Raspberry Pi is easier than you might think. With Home Assistant plus either a low-cost ESP32 CAN transceiver (wireless) or a USB-CAN adapter (wired), you can stream instrument data to custom dashboards, create smart alerts, and automate tasks — all locally and on a budget.
