Lightning, Air Quality, Gas and Fire Awareness

Sensor Safety Module

Beyond steering, offshore safety depends on sensor-backed situational awareness that leads to clear action.

Sensor Inputs

Lightning-detector cues for convective-risk awareness.
Air-pressure sensing for detecting rapidly falling pressure.
Air-quality trends for enclosed-cabin safety, including a CO2 sensor inside the cabin.
Gas detection for leak prevention and escalation.
Fire and overheat triggers for immediate operator response.
4 protected analog inputs, freely configurable, for channels such as tank level, pressure, temperature or custom sensors.
8 protected digital inputs, freely configurable, for events such as bilge pump active, hatch switch, high-water float or user-defined contact states.
It is also possible to install a second Sensor module in the engine room and configure it for more engine-room-specific monitoring needs.

Safety Integration

Alerts can feed directly into the voice-alarm and UI warning layers.
Severity rules can trigger a stronger alarm cadence.
Any configured analog or digital input can be mapped to relay-box actions.
Any configured analog or digital input can also trigger voice alarms with its own message class.
The blackbox trace captures sensor context around events.
The design is meant to expand as new modules are added.

Singlehanded Safety Outcome

The goal is earlier detection and faster action, especially when one person is balancing navigation, sail trim and rest management alone.

Example: a bilge-pump-active input can immediately raise a voice alarm and trigger relay-output policy.
Example: a high-water digital input can escalate the alarm tier and trigger predefined safety-relay actions.

More Features Across The Suite

Current page focus: Lightning, gas, fire, and air-quality safety context.

The suite is much broader than a traditional autopilot. It is a complete singlehanded offshore assistance stack covering steering, weather intelligence, safety sensing, logging and post-passage analysis.

Feedback And Comments

This project is still work in progress, and I would genuinely like feedback on what is missing, what feels unclear, and what would be most useful offshore. The first sea trial is planned for spring 2026, and every comment is reviewed by me before it appears publicly.

No public comments yet. You can be the first to add feedback.

Built For Singlehanded Offshore Reality

These public pages focus on what the suite actually delivers offshore: steadier steering, fail-safe automation, and practical AI support that reduces workload without taking control away from the skipper.
