Dreaming of a Bluetooth boat! How many of your gizmos do you control from your phone?

Dare to dream !

Personally, I’m working to reduce complexity, so I can improve reliability and reduce costs.

I like Bluetooth for monitoring and calibration, the stuff you use before casting off.

I like WIFI for data while at the dock. I especially like remote monitoring the boat from my home because I am more than an hour drive away.

I like NMEA 2000 as a backbone for information flow while sailing.

Have fun with whatever you pursue, and most of all, get out on the water as much as possible.

Cheers,  
Rob…

I have a remote for the windlass but nothing on my phone. That’s where I have my weather and navigation apps.
