Logbook self-correction
Your automatic logbook tidies itself up. Every 5 minutes and after every change, the Hub recalculates the last 72 hours and brings the entries into a consistent order: if the engine is running, the trip is called "Motoring", otherwise, for sailing boats, "Sailing"; tacks and gybes only appear if you are sailing; duplicate entries disappear. What you enter yourself always applies, and the automation follows it. That is why entries can still change shortly after the trip. This is intended and runs on board on the Hub, without internet and without a subscription.
What you get
On board
| What happened | What the logbook shows first | What the logbook shows afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| The engine is only detected minutes after casting off | “Sailing”, “Engine on”, “Motoring” | “Engine on”, directly after it “Motoring” |
| You stop the engine on the way, the detection comes late | “Motoring” until berthing | “Motoring”, “Engine off”, “Sailing”, plus the tacks and gybes of this stretch |
| You add “Sailing” because the engine was detected wrongly | “Motoring” without tacks | your “Sailing”, afterwards all detected tacks and gybes |
| You add “Engine on” in the middle of sailing | “Sailing” with tacks | your “Engine on”, “Motoring”, the tacks after it are dropped |
| You set “Docked” earlier than the Hub detected it | detected “Docked” later | your “Docked”, the later detected entry is dropped |
| The same state twice in a row | for example “Docked” twice | one entry |
- Live in the app: If the logbook is open, you see the corrections immediately.
- Exports always show the corrected state.
Remotely
- If you connect the Hub to the cloud, you and your Boat Buddies see the corrected state as soon as the Hub has internet.
How it works
You do not correct the automation, you give it new facts. On board, connected to the Hub:
- Set an entry of your own, for example “Sailing” or “Engine off” at the right time: ”+” in the header › “Quick Entry” or “Custom Entry” with date and time. The Hub adjusts the detected entries around it.
- Delete a detected entry: swipe to the left under Menu › “Ship’s Log”. For five seconds you can go back with “Undo”. What you delete, the Hub does not enter again.
- Discard a whole trip: If you delete a wrong departure, the whole trip disappears with its arrival, tacks and gybes.
- Combine a stopover: If you delete an arrival in the middle of the trip, the two trips become one.
Requirements
- A Smartboatia Hub on board. No internet, no account, no subscription.
- Correcting only on board, connected to the Hub.
Permissions and subscription
- Subscription: fully usable without a subscription; the Standard subscription adds nothing extra.
- On board: Everyone connected to the Hub sets and deletes entries.
- Remotely: view only. Nobody can delete or add entries there, not even you as the owner; you also write notes remotely.
Notifications
None. Entries added afterwards lie in the past and trigger no prompt in the app.
Messages and special cases
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| You delete a departure | Arrival, tacks and gybes of this trip disappear with it |
| You delete an arrival | The next departure disappears, both trips become one |
| A detected entry only gets a different type, for example “Sailing” becomes “Motoring” | The entry stays, and so does your note on it |
| You set “Underway” or “Not underway” yourself | The entry stays, the automation does not follow it |
Self-correction shows no messages.
Offline behaviour
- Runs entirely on the Hub, without internet. If you connect the Hub to the cloud, corrections go there as soon as the Hub has internet again.
- After a Hub restart the next correction runs after 5 minutes at the latest.
Frequently asked questions
Why do logbook entries still change after the trip?
Every 5 minutes and after every change, the Hub recalculates the last 72 hours and brings the entries into a consistent order. This is intended and runs on board on the Hub, without internet and without a subscription.
The engine was detected wrongly. How do I correct that?
On board, set an entry of your own at the right time, for example "Sailing" or "Engine off", via "+" › "Quick Entry" or "Custom Entry". What you enter yourself always applies, and the Hub adjusts the detected entries around it.
Does the Hub enter a deleted entry again?
No. What you delete, the Hub does not enter again. For five seconds you can bring back a deleted entry with "Undo".
How do I combine two trips with a stopover?
Delete the arrival in the middle of the trip. The next departure then disappears, and both trips become one.
Can I also correct the logbook from home?
No. Deleting and adding entries only works on board, connected to the Hub. You also write notes remotely.
