SmartControl is the core of the Smart Boat modular system and is designed to monitor automate & control a wide range of onboard functions. This design enhances your boating experience. Our system integrates WiFi-linked modules. These modules can be retrofitted to most boats. This setup allows you to monitor and manage day-to-day tasks with ease. SmartControl allows you to control lights and pumps with relay modules. It also lets you monitor engine senders, RPMs, and tank levels with sensor modules. This system gives you the flexibility to automate essential systems.
Our customizable touchscreens and user-configurable membrane keypads provide an intuitive way to manage onboard systems. They offer an interactive experience. Solid-state relay modules allow for control of high-current equipment like pumps and motors. SmartControl is perfect for both new installations and retrofits, offering seamless integration with your existing systems or custom MQTT setups.
Coming Spring : Monitor Automate & Control
In Spring 2025, we will release our LED and iLED controllers. They are designed for standalone use or integration with custom MQTT systems. These controllers provide dynamic lighting control. In Q3 2025, the full SmartControl suite will launch. This includes our main SmartBox, advanced relay and sensor modules, and customizable UI screens. These features bring a new level of automation and control to your boat.
LED and iLED Controllers: Elevate Your Boat’s Lighting to New Heights
Imagine stepping aboard your boat as the sun sets. With a single touch, the deck and cabin are bathed in a soft, elegant glow. LED lighting not only transforms the appearance of your boat but also elevates the entire onboard experience. LED lighting enhances your surroundings in numerous ways. It accentuates architectural lines, highlights key features and creates a mesmerizing underwater display. The right lighting turns your vessel into a serene retreat, adding a luxurious, modern ambiance typically found on high-end yachts.
With clever placement of LED strips, you can create ambiance zones throughout your boat. Use soft, warm lighting in the cabin for cozy evenings. Illuminate a cool, sophisticated glow on deck. This highlights polished wood, chrome fittings, or custom seating areas. Underwater LEDs cast a captivating light show beneath the surface. They are perfect for drawing attention in marinas. They also illuminate calm waters when moored in tranquil bays. Accent lighting is a hallmark of modern boat design. It instantly enhances your vessel’s visual appeal and perceived value. This applies whether for new builds or refits.
Simple and Versatile Installation
Installation is streamlined with onboard Wago connectors, ensuring your LED strips or lights are quickly up and running. Configuration and control are equally intuitive via our browser-based software, accessible on phones, tablets, or PCs. This gives you complete control at your fingertips, allowing you to adjust colours, patterns, and brightness with ease.
Smart Integration for Enhanced Functionality
Both the LED and iLED controllers offer semi-open-source flexibility. They enable seamless integration into third-party systems like Node-RED. This is achieved via MQTT topics and commands. You can customize how your LED lighting interacts with other onboard systems, such as monitoring devices or alert systems. This means endless possibilities for creative lighting control, whether you’re a tech enthusiast or prefer an out-of-the-box setup.
Stand Alone Mode
Both the LED Controller and iLED Controller can operate in standalone mode. They can function as access points (APs) without the need for a router or onboard WiFi network. This setup lets you connect directly to the controller using your phone, tablet, or PC. You will have full control over your lighting system even if your boat lacks an onboard WiFi network. This flexibility makes our controllers ideal for any vessel, regardless of its onboard network infrastructure. If you have a Starlink installed, you can monitor the boat’s status from anywhere in the world. This feature allows for global accessibility. This is possible not just when linked to a marina’s WiFi router. SmartWiring incorporates the power tray designed by “Starlinkbits” to minimise the risk of power outages and thus disruption of service.
Safety and Reliability Built In
Safety is paramount. Our controllers offer automatically resettable thermal and current over-protection. This ensures your installation remains safe even in extreme conditions. With OTA (over-the-air) update capabilities, your system stays current with the latest features. It benefits from software improvements as well. This ensures long-term reliability and performance.
Customizable Alerts and Night Mode
The controllers are not just about aesthetics but offer practical functionality for onboard alerts. LEDs can signal important warnings. They flash blue when the bilge pump activates. They flash red if engine temperatures rise above safe levels. Custom alert patterns provide quick visual feedback in critical situations. Additionally, a night mode feature lets you choose independent colors. You can store these for a soft, non-intrusive glow during overnight trips.
