Is anyone using sensesp to create alarm data on the n2k bus via signalk? Looking at PGN 127501 it seems like I can create a bilge alarm switch status

er maybe I just misread some jumbled info from victron in my searching
That’s normally used for digital switching
they described an on/alarm status, but It was product specific
I didn't catch that at first
but any alarm thing would be cool
But it is sometimes used for other things
I'd like to be able to have it pop alarms on my plotters
What plotters do you have? I don’t think any of them will display 127501 that way.
B&G vulcan/zeus3/triton2 displays
oooooh. These ESP32 terminals are cheap

the camera is kinda goofy but that looks stellar for some dashboards inside my boat
I would send notifications to your sk server. Then you have more options.
like signalk-to-nmea2000, 126983, 126985
Not sure if the B&G stuff shows those...
B&G is kinda lame to be honest imo
I'm mildly regretting them
My triton2 does not show 126983, 126985
I just tried it
mine have yet to show rudder angle - the one friggin thing I've really wanted them to...
I've used an engine HAT to send engine alarms over n2k. Where possible, I prefer to send the data directly onto the n2k network and then receive it from there in signalk if needed. That way, the MFD showing the info isn't reliant on signalk.
According to the N2k API, 127505 (Fluid Level) is used for bilge level.

I have a couple of boards with the n2k interfaces from hat labs so I'm down with hardwired. But.... having a super simple sensor that's wireless and doesn't depend on that particular bus working is great too
hmm, fluid level seems to reference particular tanks...
likewise i have simrad evo2, previously raymarine axioms, ive never seen this pgn supported…
After a bit more research, it looks like there are a set of alert PNGs (126983 - 126988) but they aren't currently implemented in the nmea2000 library. They are listed in the canboat docs but with the caveat that they aren't fully reverse engineered.
Interesting, so there's a maybe in there I guess
