What a great tool, thanks for sharing!

They also do flood sensors https://shellystore.co.uk/product/shelly-flood/

I’m looking into this at the moment for my new boat so I can leave it Bankside with the inverter off. I’m putting a 12v 5G router in place, and looking at home automation kit which is battery/12v powered and which will connect to the WiFi. Currently looking at this for monitoring… https://shellystore.co.uk/product/shelly-ht-white/ And this for potentially switching the diesel boiler… https://shellystore.co.uk/product/shelly-uni/

It does as it contains a capacitor which holds enough charge to text you when the mains fails. Will also then text you when it comes back on again.

I use one of these to very good effect, temp can be remotely monitored and alerted, as can power availability, and the heater can be switched manually or automatically. You do need a mobile signal within the boat, I hang mine in a window on an extension lead to be sure. https://www.tekview-solutions.com/powertxt.php

I see what you mean. It seemed like such a simple question.

Coracle

Hmmm, length of pounds/reaches plus length of locks, plus (average width of a lock gate x no. of locks x2), of navigable waterways of the UK I guess

Yeah, but Irish Sea crossing…

… thousand miles? The system is variously stated as being, in totality, one of these lengths. Has anybody actually measured it and is there a definitive answer? Just wondering.

Don’t think they are auto but I don’t think that’s a problem for me I think they will sit on top of the hand rail, horizontally. The LEDs are masked off to the correct horizontal angle from what I can see. They may not be 100pc compliant to satisfy every internet pedant, but I reckon they’ll be 90something percent there and good enough for the odd evening cruise on the Thames.

🤣 Thanks for the link. I find your sarcasm a bit odd

@GUMPY to make your comment marginally more useful to the forum please could you outline the exact specs for nav lights for powered craft on the UK inland waterways where they’re required. I imagine this might include heights, visibility angles and distance Thanks A full length Narrowboat for instance? Thanks

Perhaps, but I read that they’re visible for 2nm and meet the regs (albeit US ones(are they the same though?))

Re wiring for nav lights, I’ve just bought a set of battery powered magnetic led nav lights to save having to have this cabling. Search for ‘navisafe’. Perfect for the few times I’ll need them and may also serve as supplementary tunnel illumination on their white setting. HTH
