Field notes

Boatomation separates its work by cable access: a yacht opened for refit can receive a wired backbone, while an occupied vessel can use wireless devices selected for salt, damp, and vibration. The site also describes hybrid installations, with some runs cabled and others left wireless. Its stated technology stack includes KNX, Zigbee, Matter, Thread, Modbus, NMEA 2000, DALI, and PoE, with the final combination chosen per boat.
