1) Roam Marine Monitor Hub
The primary hub includes ambient temperature, humidity sensors along with sea state monitoring and a backup battery. All sensors connect to the bottom of the device and can be custom configured to meet your specific needs.
2) LTE-M Cellular Antenna
3) Secondary Battery or Pump Sensor x2
Wire these sensors into your second battery bank or bilge pumps for continual status. If you are connecting to your bilge pump we often recommend connecting to the manual bilge pump switch and the 6' wire is often more than enough. If you feel you will need more wire then order the 18' version for extended connection flexibility.
4) High Water Float Switch
Our high water float switch is custom built to provide a normally closed signal to our hub. Unlike many other float switch alarms this allows us to alarm if there is a problem with the wire to increase confidence in a high water event alarm. The float switch comes with a 15' wire.
5) Main Battery Supply Sensor
The main battery supply cable is 6' and is typically connected to your house batteries either at the battery or on a main bus bar in the electrical panel. The Roam Monitor both monitors battery voltage and uses this connection for it's primary power source.
6) GPS Antenna
Our GPS antenna comes with a 10' cable to allow for easy installation. The GPS antenna can be installed inside a fiberglass boat but should be kept away from metal and installed with the sticky side facing earth.
7) Mounting Brackets
Two mounting brackets and associated screws are included for quick mounting of the product.

The quality of the device is apparent when you take everything out of the box.
I'm excited to get a good monitoring system for the boat with such a reasonable monitoring fee. As someone that likes to be in control and can tend to worry about the boat when I'm away, this gives me a lot of peace of mind.
I wish we had this installed last winter when the shore power connection came undone and the batteries went flat. This would have alerted me before the issue became too bad.
I've had the chance to talk to the developers of this product a few times and they have a lot of great ideas so I'm excited to see what they can do with their software over time to make this unit even better!
Outstanding solution and very easy install. Thanks for making valuable basics easy and affordable.
I installed a Roam Monitor with two float switches a few weeks ago on my sailboat and could not be more pleased. This was just what I was looking for to monitor my boat's bilge pump and detect flooding in two compartments while I'm off the boat and it's unattended. Finding a cellular device that would do that AND also provided location tracking/anchor alarm/geofence function set the Roam Device apart from the rest, as did its very reasonable pricing. The voltage, temp, humidity and accelerometer sensors were an added bonus. I recently found the Roam Monitor to be very helpful while aboard when a potable water leak that would have otherwise been unnoticed was immediately detected by the Roam sensing the bilge pump running. Installation was very simple, the quality of the components is great, and the responsiveness and service from the folks at ROAM is second to none. I've very happy with the monitor and have recommended it to all my fellow sailors.
We keep our boat on a mooring so it’s nice to check on conditions before heading out for a sail. I was looking for a remote monitoring system that was reasonably priced and would work for day sailing and coastal waters near shore. This system fit the bill, was shipped right away, arrived quickly and was simple to install. I had a question about locating the GPS antenna and support responded right away. I suppose wireless sensors would be easier than running wires, but I think the reliability of wired sensors are something you set and forget. Very pleased with the performance, usability, and enjoy peeking at our vessel while she waits for the next outing!
Works awesome, great price
