When we arrived at the anchorage, Holly handled the windlass while I talked through how we set the anchor. WeтАЩve also got the anchor alarm running on a split screen, so you can see it working in real time, including when the alarms go off. The anchor watch is a custom Home Assistant setup that takes GPS, depth, heading and wind data from Signal K. It calculates our swing radius using the amount of rode weтАЩve put out and the depth, then keeps an eye on the boat for any signs that weтАЩre dragging. If the boat moves outside the area it should be in, both our phones get an alert and the onboard siren sounds, whether weтАЩre awake, asleep, or simply not paying attention. ThatтАЩs really why we built it: for peace of mind when weтАЩre anchored. WeтАЩve put the full write-up on our website, and Crew members can download the integration and map panel code.
