> Advanced Connectivity and Zigbee Security Integration

The new Hub Pro 2024 enhances connectivity with LTE integration and satellite compatibility, ensuring that boats remain connected even in remote areas. Whether offshore or in marinas with limited cell coverage, users can rely on consistent performance for system updates and remote control features.

The integration of Zigbee services represents a significant leap in onboard security. The Hub Pro 2024 now supports a wide range of Zigbee sensors, including motion detectors, water leak sensors, and door/window monitors. These sensors, alongside the Zigbee-based siren system, provide real-time security alerts to boat owners, notifying them of potential threats such as intrusions, water damage, or fire hazards. This comprehensive security suite ensures both peace of mind and the safety of the vessel.

> Smart Notifications and Real-Time Monitoring

Designed with user convenience in mind, the Hub Pro 2024 integrates seamless notification systems, providing push notifications for critical incidents. Whether it’s an unexpected drop in battery levels or a breach in the boat’s security perimeter, users will be immediately informed through the mobile app. The platform’s push notification system ensures real-time responsiveness, bypassing ‘Do Not Disturb’ settings when needed for urgent alerts.

The Hub Pro 2024 is fully compatible with the upcoming mobile app version, which features enhanced controls and more intuitive management options for the boat’s key systems. However, this announcement focuses on the hub itself, leaving further details about the mobile app and its additional modules for future releases.

> Innovation for the Future of Boating

The Hub Pro 2024, with its robust AI capabilities and the integration of Zigbee technology, further cements Sailsense's position as a market leader in smart maritime solutions. This launch showcases the company’s dedication to providing innovative tools that allow boat owners to stay connected and secure, no matter where they are.

For more information, stay tuned for upcoming announcements on the new Sailsense mobile app and the BoatGuard security feature, which will further enhance the control and monitoring capabilities for boat owners worldwide.

> About Sailsense

Sailsense provides smart, integrated solutions for boat monitoring and management, helping boat owners optimize their sailing experience through real-time data and AI-powered insights.

> Comprehensive Security with Zigbee Sensors

At the core of the BoatGuard module is a suite of Zigbee-enabled security sensors that monitor key areas of the boat for unauthorized access, water intrusion, and potential fire hazards. The system includes motion detectors, door and window sensors, water leak sensors, and smoke detectors, providing an all-encompassing shield for boat safety.

With Zigbee's reliable and low-power wireless network, these sensors work seamlessly together to offer 24/7 protection. BoatGuard instantly alerts users to any suspicious activity, including movement onboard, unauthorized door or window openings, and even potential flooding, ensuring rapid response and mitigation.

> Real-Time Alerts and AI Integration

BoatGuard takes security a step further with AI-powered smart alerts. The system can differentiate between standard and critical events, ensuring that boat owners only receive the most important notifications. In cases of emergencies—such as fire, flooding, or forced entry—BoatGuard triggers a siren and sends an urgent push notification to the owner's mobile device within seconds. Even in “Do Not Disturb” mode, these notifications break through to ensure boat owners are alerted instantly to critical incidents.

The system also supports three distinct alarm modes—“Stay,” “Away,” and “Always Active”—tailored to the owner’s specific needs. Whether monitoring while docked or protecting the boat while at sea, BoatGuard ensures that users are in full control.

> Geofencing and GPS-Based Monitoring

Another standout feature of the BoatGuard module is its geofencing capability. Boat owners can set a virtual perimeter around their boat. If the vessel drifts beyond the defined area, or if a tow attempt is detected, the system sends real-time alerts to the user. This feature is particularly valuable when leaving the boat unattended at anchor or in a marina, giving boaters peace of mind that their vessel is secure.

> User-Friendly Integration with the Sailsense App

The BoatGuard Security module integrates seamlessly with the new Sailsense mobile app. Through the app’s intuitive interface, users can monitor all their security sensors in real time, manage alarm settings, and even silence or activate the onboard siren remotely. With this, Sailsense ensures an effortless user experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety.

The new security features will be rolled out as part of the mobile app update, scheduled to launch in October 2024, providing a unified experience across all Sailsense platforms.

> Enhanced Safety and Reliability

With robust Zigbee integration and advanced real-time alerts, BoatGuard transforms boat security by providing unmatched protection for both small and large vessels. Boat owners can now enjoy their time on the water with the confidence that their investment is protected around the clock, regardless of location.

This launch of BoatGuard Security marks a significant step in Sailsense’s ongoing mission to deliver advanced, reliable technology that enhances the boating experience.

> AI-Powered Assistance: Your Personal Boat Captain

At the heart of the redesigned app is its embedded AI assistant, transforming the way boat owners interact with their vessels. Acting like a personal "boat captain," the AI assistant provides real-time recommendations, navigational tips, and maintenance reminders based on the boat’s condition and environmental factors.

The AI assistant helps boaters plan their trips, monitor weather patterns, and anticipate upcoming maintenance tasks—turning data into actionable insights.

> Centralized Control: All-in-One Boat Management

With the new app, boat owners can manage every aspect of their vessel from a single platform. From monitoring battery levels and fuel consumption to controlling lights, pumps, and ventilation systems, users have full control over their boat’s electrical systems with just a few taps. The app’s “Controls” module, powered by the advanced Sailsense Powerail system, allows for real-time monitoring and quick adjustments, streamlining boat management like never before.

The app also centralizes security monitoring, giving users access to the new BoatGuard Security module. Whether it’s motion detection, water intrusion, or geofence alerts, the app ensures that all security features are easily accessible, allowing for full control and instant notifications.

> Advanced Notifications and Push Alerts

A key improvement in the new app is its powerful push notification system, allowing boat owners to receive real-time alerts for critical events such as low battery levels, water leaks, or unexpected movement. These notifications can be customized to fit the user’s needs and are prioritized to ensure that important information reaches the user instantly.

For emergencies, the app’s notifications bypass standard phone settings like “Do Not Disturb,” ensuring that critical alerts are never missed, especially when it comes to the safety of the boat.

> Personalized for Every Boater

Designed to adapt to every type of vessel and user, the new Sailsense app offers flexible configurations. Whether managing a small motorboat or a luxury catamaran, boat owners can personalize their app interface to display the most relevant data. The app’s modular design ensures that only the necessary tools are shown, simplifying boat management while maintaining powerful functionality behind the scenes.

Sailsense also offers customization options for professional users, such as boatyards and fleet operators, with personalized branding and 3D boat models that can be uploaded into the app, providing a tailored experience for B2B clients.

> Looking Ahead: Continuous Updates and New Features

Sailsense is committed to staying at the forefront of boating technology. The redesigned app sets the foundation for future enhancements, including upcoming modules like advanced weather forecasting and AI-based trip planning. The app will continue to evolve with new features, ensuring it remains the most advanced and user-friendly boating companion on the market.
