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.

I saw Roam Devices at the Annapolis boat show. The think that really set it apart from the others is how it integrates with Victron devices wirelessly. I am currently working out of town for a month and the peace of mind I get by just glancing at my phone and knowing everything is okay. I have come home before to completely toasted battery banks. Never again! I also love the built in anchor monitor.
It's my first time owning a boat being left in a slip year round, and with that comes a level of paranoia about how the boat is doing. Roam has been an amazing addition to my boat because it allows me to monitor the critical items on my phone whenever I need. I find myself checking it daily for my own peace of mind. Setup was very simple and easy for someone of any skill level. As my boat has a wet bilge, I'm very happy to have a bilge pump monitor to know how frequently my pump is running. I have had a few questions as I got the items configured, and the level of service I received were amazing. I got nearly immediate email responses, and even follow-up emails asking if things were going ok. I really appreciate the level of service they are proving. I'm excited to try some of the victron wireless monitoring items that now seamlessly connect to Roam, I think that is going to level up my experience. Also, the price, $60 a year is the perfect price point. Way to go Roam team!
What can I say? The Roam monitor just works, does what is claimed;
IInstallation and setup were intuitive, simple. App for the iPhone is simple and intuitive. I am retiring my Armit bilge alarm system, which is less robust, less intuitive, and more costly.
Excellent product. Great service.
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!
