Len, I'm installing a Victron Cerbo GX. It can do everything you're asking and will transmit data remotely to the Victron VRM app/website. It needs an internet connection. Either wifi or hardwired. Victron also sells a GSM device with a SIM card (~$12/month) if you don't want to rely on marina wifi.
Here is the Victron Cerbo GX: https://amzn.to/2OfIPxc and technical data <https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/cerbo-gx>. It can do a lot. Just depends on how fancy you want to get. You can email me if you have more questions. You can also build your own with a raspberry pi and the open-source Venus OS from Victron. It's the same software they use on the Cerbo but you'll have to be pretty software savvy to make it do everything you want. Here is a link to the Venus OS GitHub page: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki Hope this helps, Cheers Riley On Tue, Mar 2, 2021 at 11:31 AM Len Mitchell via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > With all this talk about bilge pumps I am looking at a way to monitor the > boat when I am not there.
