So I’m a gadget junkie I am slowly turning the house into a smart home
I’ve added Verizon gigabit connectivity with google Wifi or boost and extend the signal even outside the house the main reason we did this is to monitor the house (kids) while we are in FLA so We know who opens and closes the front door and when they have their own codes. Every bathroom has a multi sensor for leaks the garage doors have sensors for open/close and vibration
The thermostats are also on the hub. I added smart under cabinet
Igniting and when the garage doors open after a pre determined time they light to 40% for 20 mins to give you light as you enter heck the Xmas tree was programmed to go on/ off daily.
So my point is has anyone done this to their boats? Well I have started to given the marina WiFi’s are getting more reliable and or hotspots. I added some of the same features on the boat. I added a hub, an Alexa device and all openings have sensors on them that will text me immediately if opened. I have a water sensor in the Engine room that also gives temperature and humidity
I have cameras but they do not email /text me although recording 24 hrs I can check in live but it’s a work around to get there. So I am adding a WiFi camera to the cockpit that when triggered will text me and turn on longest inside the boat and on the bridge I also have the capability to sound a siren
Cool thing is I have set up scenes such as “away” “arm” etc so I don’t keep getting texts while on the boat. I’m adding ambient lighting above the salon windows and behind the tv and will be fully integrated. So aside from the security features has anyone done things like this? Any other gadget guys here?
ps. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
