Control Your Boat with Relays


Automatic and/or Remote
Want to control what's happening on your boat ? Want some actions to happen automatically (e.g. start siren when motion is detected) and some at your request (e.g. turn on heating half way down the motorway) ?

Relay kits and Relay Control Units :
  • can be set up to activate a wide range of devices
  • communicate via wireless, allowing siting pretty much anywhere on the boat were required
  • need boat power
  • can control up to 2 relays each

Use the Control Panel to switch things on or off - Want to turn on the heating or the fridge before you get to the boat ? Use your phone and browser to Visit your Boat and switch on at the Control Panel before you leave home or on the way.

Relays can be activated/deactivated via the Control Panel using easy to use switches.

Use the Control Panel to control systems automatically - Want a siren to come on if an intruder is detected ? Or lights ? Or a Vogon deathray* ?

Use the Control Panel switches to leave features in place when you're not there. Relays can be linked via software to a sensor to initiate an action dependent on a condition or a reading (analogue). So, in addition to receiving alerts, you can also set Skipper's Mate up to take action in your absence.

Hardware Details for Relays - Each Relay Control Unit comprises a tiny computer, a voltage stepdown, Wi-Fi receiver and a 2 channel relay with tails. You can build these yourselves to accompany the Open Source software. Alternatively you can buy Relay Editions configured to order- see Relay Editions.
