Where DockNeighbor is going
What ships is on Watch Together and Pricing — everything on this page is planned, not shipped, and may change as we learn. If something here matters to you, say so on the community forum — it genuinely moves things up the list.
What is still landing on the paid plans
Voyager is the top plan — $12/mo · $120/yr, and free during beta like every other plan. Voyage history is live on every plan: your tracks and passages kept as data you can revisit, and export from Weekender up. Still being built, and included on its plan the day each one ships: voice-call alerts for the alarms that must not be missed (Voyager), integrations — Home Assistant, MQTT, IFTTT, and the API (Weekender and up) — and the Vessel Status Site, a public page anyone can look up (Dockside and up).
Turn things on and off from anywhere
A fan on the ride back so the boat is cool when you step aboard. Lights on before you reach a dark dock. DockNeighbor is adding switch modules — the same off-the-shelf Shelly family, including 12 V-friendly relays — so anything you can put on a relay can be flipped from the app, at the dock or three states away. Part of the paid plans, like all control.
The DockNeighbor hub
A small always-on box (a Raspberry Pi, a Docker container, or the desktop app itself) that sits between your sensors and the internet. Sensors report to the hub on the boat’s network; the hub batches everything to the cloud over whatever uplink you have — and your vessel keeps reporting even on a locked-down or metered connection. The same role built into a DockNeighbor-managed cellular router is in testing now.
Long-range sensors & shared marina hubs
LoRa sensors (YoLink) reach a quarter mile through a marina — which means one hub at the dock office can serve every boat on the pier. Shared hub infrastructure would make whole-marina coverage cheap per boat, with dedicated hubs for boats that want their own.
A pluggable hub platform
The platform stays ours to run — but the hardware integration layer is a published, plugin-based surface with its own APIs, so the community can contribute device drivers and integrations we’d never get to alone. Home Assistant, MQTT, and IFTTT integrations ride this same effort, along with cloud automation (timers, schedules, rules) and voice-call alerts.
Native iOS app
The native iOS app is built and shipping to testers on TestFlight with every release (v1.0.109 today). App Store listing is the remaining step; until then the web app works on iPhone and iPad.
