Recording on board
The Smartboatia Hub records all boat data itself: position, course, speed, wind, depth, water temperature, air pressure, sea state, heel, supply voltage, batteries, tanks and autopilot. It needs no internet, no account and no subscription for this, and it keeps the data for a good year (400 days) right on board. Whether you also want the data in the Smartboatia Cloud is up to you. If you connect the Hub to the cloud, it uploads everything it missed in chronological order as soon as it has internet, without you doing anything. At the berth the Hub saves more sparingly. When you cast off, it adds the last half hour before departure in full resolution, so the departure track on board stays exact.
What you get
On board
- All data of the last 400 days straight from the Hub, without internet: in the Plotter, Dashboard, history views, logbook and polars.
- No operation needed. The Hub records as soon as it has power.
- Only checked values: The Hub does not store detected measurement errors in position, course, speed, rudder, wind and air pressure.
- Fine departure track: At the berth the Hub saves sparingly. When you cast off, it writes the last 30 minutes before departure in full resolution, for example warping out of the box berth.
- Transfer status under Settings › System › “Cloud Sync” (page “Cloud Synchronization”): “Full sensor data synced until” with date and time. The cloud symbol shows the state:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| grey | Hub not linked to a Smartboatia ID or status unknown |
| accent colour | status newer than 24 hours |
| orange | status older than 24 hours |
| tick | everything transferred |
| upload arrow | uploading right now |
| lightning bolt | no internet |
- Storage usage as a history view under Hub health (“DISK utilization” tile).
Remotely
If you connect the Hub to the cloud:
- The history in the cloud up to the transfer status, for you and your Boat Buddies.
- Without a subscription: the data of the last 3 months in full resolution, with a delay of up to 6 hours. Plus a coarse live track right away, once per minute.
- With the Standard subscription in addition: the full resolution after about a minute and the entire history permanently in the cloud.
- Without internet on board, with the Standard subscription the Hub sends a compact live state and alarms over Hub cellular. It uploads the recording in full resolution as soon as it has internet again.
- Recording before sign-in: If you link a Hub that has been recording for some time to your Smartboatia ID for the first time, it also uploads the older recording. How long it stays in the cloud depends on the subscription (3 months without a subscription).
- Changes to the logbook that you make on board in a period that has already been transferred also go to the cloud.
How it works
Connecting the Hub to the cloud
- Connect the app to the Hub (over its Wi-Fi or a shared Wi-Fi, see connected to the Hub).
- In the setup assistant, in the step “Connect Hub to your Smartboatia ID”, tap “Authorize”, or open Settings › System › “Cloud Sync” and tap “Authorize” there.
- Sign in with your Smartboatia ID. From then on the Hub uploads automatically as soon as it has internet.
Checking the status
- Open Settings › System › “Cloud Sync”. After a longer offline phase you see the status advance hour by hour.
Requirements
- Smartboatia Hub with power supply.
- For the cloud: Hub linked once to a Smartboatia ID, and internet at the Hub. For that you connect the Hub to a Wi-Fi with internet, such as the marina Wi-Fi, Starlink or your phone’s hotspot. Signing in and transferring the full recording only works this way. Hub cellular (with the Standard subscription, see the Hub cellular coverage map) transfers only the compact live state and alarms.
- For recording on board: nothing else, no internet, no subscription, no ID.
Permissions and subscription
| Boat subscription | Recording on board | Full resolution in the cloud | Stored in the cloud |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without a subscription | all data, 400 days | with a delay of up to 6 hours | the last 3 months |
| Standard subscription | all data, 400 days | after about 1 minute | permanently |
- Without a subscription and without a Smartboatia ID the Hub records fully but uploads nothing to the cloud.
- On board: Everyone connected to the Hub sees all stored data and can link the Hub to their own Smartboatia ID.
- Remotely: Owner and Boat Buddies see the transferred data.
Notifications
None. Offline phases, a status far in the past or a full storage trigger no message. The only signal is the orange cloud symbol when the status is older than 24 hours.
Messages and special cases
| Situation | Message or behaviour |
|---|---|
| Hub not linked to a Smartboatia ID | “Link the Hub to your Smartboatia ID to unlock the full potential of your boat data.” with an “Authorize” button |
| No internet | Cloud with lightning bolt; the Hub catches up later |
| Connection drops during upload | the Hub resumes at the same point next time |
| Subscription changes | the Hub adjusts the delay by itself |
| Boat offline for more than 400 days | data older than 400 days is deleted before uploading |
Offline behaviour
- Offline is the normal case: recording, display on board and logbook work without internet.
- After a restart or power failure everything stored is kept. The last seconds before the failure can be lost.
- If the Hub restarts at the berth, the catch-up for the time before the restart is missing at the next departure.
- The transfer to the cloud resumes after a restart where it stopped.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Hub also record without internet?
Yes. The Hub records all boat data itself as soon as it has power, without internet, without an account and without a subscription. Offline is the normal case.
How long is my data stored?
On board the Hub keeps the data for 400 days. If you connect the Hub to the cloud, the last 3 months stay stored there without a subscription, and with the Standard subscription the entire history permanently.
Do I have to upload my data to the cloud?
No, that is up to you. Without a Smartboatia ID the Hub records fully but uploads nothing to the cloud.
How do I see whether the Hub has transferred everything to the cloud?
Under Settings › System › "Cloud Sync" you see the point up to which the complete sensor data is synchronised. A tick means everything is transferred; the cloud turns orange if the status is older than 24 hours.
How quickly is my data in the cloud?
Without a subscription the full resolution arrives with a delay of up to 6 hours, plus a coarse live track once per minute right away. With the Standard subscription the full resolution is there after about a minute.
Is data lost in a power failure?
No, everything stored is kept. Only the last seconds before the failure can be lost, and the transfer to the cloud then resumes where it stopped.
