‘BRNKL Mate’ – a new product to merge the smart home with the smart boat.
Barnacle Systems Inc, which they spell BRNKL, announced their BRNKL Mate at CES. It’s designed to merge the world of the ‘smart home’ with the ‘smart boat’ by allowing third-party accessories such as Samsung SmartThings to integrate into your boat’s security and monitoring system. In addition to communicating with wireless Smart Home devices, the BRNKL Mate provides a connection to the NMEA 2000 network on your boat to allow for the collection of engine data, tank levels, and weather station data. For users that commonly go offshore, the BRNKL Mate can also be connected to approved satellite transceivers for remote monitoring. Now available for pre-order for $245USD ($295CDN). When the BRNKL Mate is used as a stand-alone device it requires no subscription and communicates to users’ smartphones via Bluetooth to provide real time monitoring of your systems while you’re on your boat. The data is then stored in the cloud and can be reviewed again at anytime whether you’re at your boat, at home, or halfway around the world. However BRNKL Mate can connect to Barnacle Systems’ flagship product that provides security and monitoring onboard your boat. Connected to your BRNKL, the BRNKL Mate expands the capabilities of your existing system to include the new sensors, NMEA 2000 data, satellite communications and add a second camera and allows users to check on their vessel remotely from their smartphone, tablet, or computer. With an onboard camera for security and built-in sensors to monitor a vessel’s critical systems. $895 USD ($1245CDN). The BRNKL device is cellular-based and provides global coverage under their $29/mo or $300/yr subscription plans.
