Bob,
Yes, you are correct. Internet connectivity is the limiting factor in a
system like this. The Cerbo that I recommend does lots more than monitor
your bilge so there are other reasons to use such a device. For any kind of
remote monitoring, you'll be tethered to an internet connection.

I keep my last gen iPad on the boat with only a
few apps, other than Navionics and all my sailing
related stuff. It shows up on the network as
"Alera's iPad" That way we have several charts
running at the same time. One at the helm and then other anywhere else we want.
I can add it to my pl

I am certain my bilge pump switch is more reliable than the wifi. In the winter I have a garboard plug so it’s not an issue then. I wanted to be able to monitor systems from anywhere and I have wifi. I get a little rain water in the bilge through the mast but it’s not usually a problem, cold beer
Ah. Timely twist on this thread.
The Admiral and I were in Colorado a couple weeks ago when the cold weather
hit Louisiana. We didn't lose power but we lost the internet. All our
connected devices were down. We couldn't see our doorbell or security
cameras. Our alarm monitoring service couldn
Guess you can no longer get a MiFi and monthly plan? We had one years
ago. Worked really well.
Just add a cellphone to your plan and fire it up as a hotspot? Leave it on
the boat.
Was just chatting with the Admiral about this. She handles the phone
plan. She says we have an unused line on ou
Sitting in the slip... My wifi is connected often enough. I see it as
being similar to many of the smart devices in our homes. I can control my
grill and my Christmas lights anywhere in the world and I currently monitor
my freezer temp remotely. If I lose wifi momentarily or for hours on end

All this depends on a reliable WIFI connection, right? Do you think your bilge
pump switch, for example, is more or less reliable than your onboard WIFI
connection?

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
