Multiple sources, same Path

This might be a rookie question... How can I differentiate between some identical Paths, coming from different sources. E.g. we have three humidity sensors, which we would like to monitor: Engine room, Saloon, Outside. I would like to name them accordingly and show on KIP. How do I do that?!...

True wind speed

I am trying to set up true wind on a signalk setup on my buddy’s boat. He has the same setup as me, but has a sailboat… Trying to enable true wind with derived data, but can for some reason not get it to appear in the data browser. Any suggestions?

SignalK to NMEA 2000 Plugin - Wind conversion error

Hello, My NMEA 0183 wind instrument (nasa marine 5wire) outputs the wind direction in +/- rads off the bow. Open Plotter correctly interprets this but when the SignalK to NMEA 2000 plugin converts it to 0-360 degrees format for NMEA 2000 it is outputting a negative number eg -90 degrees When this data is picked up by my B&G chart plotter the wind direction is flipped by 180 degrees....

Server hanging or stalled

Hi guys, been out with the boat a few days, updated the SignalK server and plugins to the latest version before departure. Everything seems to work fine, and a few hours later the server seems really slow, and after another hour it stops receiving data from my instruments. Connected are, Autopilot, wind, log, depth sounder, GPS and AIS. All except the GPS and the AIS are NMEA183 low speed, the GPS and the AIS are high speed....

Connecting the USB GNSS receiver to the SignalK

No NMEA2000 data anymore

I've upgraded to the latest signalk server and suddenly i am not receiving and NMEA2000 data anymore. It fails with the message: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createRawChannelWithOptions'). This could be coincidence, i've also installed mqtt-gw plugin (now disabled). I am using a Sailhat (SH-RPI) to receive the data. It was receiving fine two weeks ago, i haven't made any changes to the NMEA2000 connection settings. I'm running node v22.15.0 (saw the other posts about 2.14.0). Downgrade to 2.13.5 failed with ```...

Sending signalk data to home assistant

Hi, i would like to send signalk data to home assistant. Home assistant is running the mosquitto broker. I have a wireguard vpn between signalk-server and ha over a 4G connection. Because the 4G connection can be unreliable i was thinking of setting up Mosquitto on the signalk-server machine in the boat with persistence on. Is this also the object of the signalk-mqtt-gw plugin? I see it can run a local Mosquitto broker. Will it automatically persist non-delivered messages? Thx...

Interface to Sterling A2B

Hey, has anyone done connecting the Sterling A2B loader into signalK in any way? Maybe using the remote control port? I am not finding any specs for that port. So maybe I get lucky here. Thanks...

Wildcards in source priorities

Is it possible to define source priorities with wildcard? I've tried it, and it's saved my changes, but I can see that it's waffling between the two sources configured on that path:

IEC 61162-450 (OneNet?) support

Hi folkes. Does anyone know if Signal K could deal with incoming OneNet traffic? Do we know what the particulars are of the standard, beyond that it’s IPv6 only and similar to N2K over Ethernet?

Can I send GPS data from GPSD via SignalK and SailorHat to a Garmin GPSMap 722SX?

Pretty much as the heading says. I have a GPSMap that I just replaced my old 720S with, and it turns out that this is less sensitive for GPS signals, so I woke up to nothing after a whole night on. But I do have the GPS puck working, and SignalK and a SailorHat. Has anybody used those to anything like that, so they could give me some pointers?
