Even though today is my birthday and everyone is telling me to relax, my form of relaxing is getting stuff done and feeling accomplished. I figured while I had a few moments of spare time to relax, I would go ahead and install my birthday present ---- My boat command. I had this capability on my last boat and sold it with the boat so the new owner could monitor the bilge activiities, where the boat is (gps tracker), high/low bilge, temperature sensors and so much more.
Here's a picture of my mock up ... it's sort of installed. It's working but I haven't wired up anything but a temperature sensor for now. If I decide to leave the boat in during winter, it will send me an email and text if the temperature gets above XYZ temp as well as you can set a low temp like 35* so you know it's freezing and need to get your butt down there to turn on/check your bilge heater or whatever action you need to take.
The system is fairly simple to install but has a LOT of wires and a LOT of capability. It works off 2G/3G cellular so no wifi needed. BTW, I don't have any affiliation of the owners of boat command it's just something I love on my boat that provides me some level of assurance.
Enjoy!
