Craig,
Realy interesting to read this story. Strange that no-one commented on this. My current house is totally operated by Home Assistant and now looking to replace my old instruments on my boat by using Openplotter.

- Water leak alarm
- Intruder alarm
- Camera (CCTV) on the boat.
- Preheat the boat when you get there.
- Auto start motor to charge batteries
- And if you really go that far, remote control your boat
