What was the actual error message in your case?
The watchdog plugin for opencpn already supports pypilot alarms so you could try that.
It's a great idea to expand this to other devices interfaces and programs to give more flexibility, but not implemented.
Also, the controller itself coul sound an alarm using the motor as a speaker, but this is not implemented, and depending on where the motor is, it might not be loud enough to hear.
The pi zero generally used does not have a speaker attached.
