Features

Everything your boat needs you to know.

HullSense monitors the systems that matter most — battery, bilge, location, and weather — and puts it all in your pocket.

Free

Battery Monitoring

HullSense uses a 16-bit ADS1115 ADC to measure your battery voltage with precision that cheap voltage monitors can't match. Set your battery chemistry once and the app calculates an accurate state of charge every time.

  • Supports AGM, Flooded (wet cell), Gel, and LiFePO₄ chemistries
  • Automatically detects 12V, 24V, and 36V battery systems
  • Charging detection — shows Charging or Bulk Charging when on shore power
  • Charging readings excluded from history and health analysis automatically
  • Transmits over Bluetooth, WiFi, or LTE depending on what's available

Bilge Monitoring

A Hall-effect current sensor clamps around your bilge pump wire and detects every activation without cutting or splicing anything. You know the moment your bilge runs — and how long it ran.

  • Non-invasive — installs on existing wiring with no interruption to the circuit
  • Detects pump activation within seconds of it starting
  • Logs event time and duration for every activation
  • Push notification sent immediately when bilge pump runs
  • Supports 12V bilge pump systems

GPS Location

The built-in GPS module gives you your boat's exact position. Whether you're at the marina or checking in from across the country, you always know where your boat is.

  • High-sensitivity GPS with 28dB gain antenna
  • Location displayed on a live map in the app
  • Works over Bluetooth locally, WiFi remotely, or LTE from anywhere
  • HDOP quality validation — only reports confirmed GPS fixes
  • Coordinates included in every data transmission

Weather & Tides

Local conditions matter on the water. HullSense pulls a 7-day forecast and NOAA tide predictions for your marina automatically — no setup, no API keys, always free.

  • 7-day forecast with high/low temperatures and precipitation probability
  • Current conditions: temperature, UV index, wind speed and direction
  • NOAA CO-OPS tide predictions — high and low tide times for all 7 days
  • Tide graph with cosine-interpolated curve and current time marker
  • Automatically localized to your boat's GPS position

Push Notifications

You don't have to be watching the app for HullSense to keep you informed. Critical events trigger an instant push notification to your phone wherever you are.

  • Critical battery alert — when voltage drops to a critical level
  • Low battery alert — early warning before you have a problem
  • Bilge pump activation — any time the pump runs
  • Device back online — when your device reconnects after being offline
  • Geofence exit alert — when your boat leaves a defined zone (Pro)
  • Manage notification preferences from within the app

LTE Cellular

A Hologram eUICC SIM card is built directly into every HullSense device. Subscribe to Pro and it activates automatically — no trips to a carrier store, no plan to manage.

  • SIM7080G Cat-M1/NB-IoT modem built into the device
  • Hologram eUICC SIM — activated automatically on Pro subscription
  • Falls back to WiFi when available; LTE activates only when needed
  • Data usage is minimal — only compressed sensor readings are transmitted
  • Adjustable reporting interval: 5 to 60 minutes (locked at 30 min on Free)
  • SIM paused automatically if Pro subscription lapses

Battery & Bilge History

See how your battery has behaved over time and track every bilge activation in detail. Patterns that are invisible in the moment become obvious when you can see the full picture.

  • Battery voltage chart with 24H, 1W, 1M, and 3M time ranges
  • Bilge activation log — every event with timestamp and duration
  • Up to 12 months of data retained
  • Charging periods clearly marked and excluded from trend analysis
  • Export full battery and bilge history as a CSV file any time

Geofencing

Draw a zone around your marina, mooring, or storage facility on the map. If your boat moves outside it, you get an instant alert — whether it drifted, dragged anchor, or something worse.

  • Draw a custom geofence zone directly on the map in the app
  • Instant push notification the moment your boat crosses the boundary
  • Alert cooldown prevents repeated notifications during a single exit event
  • Works anywhere in the world with LTE coverage
  • Geofence visible on the map alongside your boat's live position

Battery Health Analysis

Knowing your battery voltage is one thing. Knowing whether your battery is actually healthy is another. HullSense analyzes resting voltage patterns over time to estimate condition and remaining useful life.

  • Estimates battery condition based on resting voltage patterns
  • Projects months of remaining useful life
  • Tuned per battery chemistry — AGM, Flooded, Gel, and LiFePO₄ each analyzed differently
  • Automatically suppresses analysis when on shore power or low-confidence data
  • Gives you advance warning before a battery failure leaves you stranded
