1 System Description
These operating instructions apply to the following devices :
- A22702 ME SENSE Relay
- A22703 ME SENSE Temp
- A22704 ME SENSE Humidity
- A22705 ME SENSE Bilge
- A22706 ME SENSE Schock/Impact
- A22707 ME SENSE Pressure
- A22708 ME SENSE Door
- A22709 ME SENSE GATE LTE
The various devices of the ME SENSE product series have been
developed to get a better overview of the condition of your
own ship when you are not on board yourself. On the one
hand, this applies to the long period of winter storage and, on
the other hand, to the time when you are not on board during
the season.

Various sensors are used to determine measured values that
the boat owner can view remotely on his smartphone. If a
measured value exceeds a set alarm threshold, there is an im-
mediate notification in the app. The alarm values reached are
stored in the IoT cloud and are therefore available in the event
of a possible insurance claim.

The use of universal and modern IoT technology ensures the
future security of the ME SENSE products. A modular use of
the sensors allows the system to be expanded on board at any
time.
1.1 Functionality
„ME SENSE RELAY“
The ME SENSE RELAY is the central element of the system and
acts as a bridge so that the measured values can reach the
cloud and thus also the app. Currently, up to 20 different ME
SENSE sensors can be connected to the bridge via Bluetooth®
at the same time. The device is connected to the on-board bat-
tery for power supply.
„ME SENSE“
The term "ME SENSE" refers to the various sensors that trans-
mit their different measured values to the ME SENSE RELAY via
Bluetooth connection. The respective suffixes indicate what
type of sensor it is specifically.
„Battery“
Battery monitor offers the possibility of checking
the current battery voltage and is already inte-
grated in the ME SENSE RELAY .

Weatherdock AG Page 9

„Temp“
Temperature sensor, z. B. can be used to monitor
the battery temperature
„Bilge“
Float switch, used to monitor a possibly rising wa-
ter level in the bilge
„Door“
Door sensor, checks the status of a specific door or
bulkhead: 'closed' or 'open'
„mBar“
Air pressure sensor, gives information about ra-
pidly changing air pressure values on site
„Rel.%“
Humidity, gives information about the current re-
lative humidity on site

„Accel.“
Acceleration sensor, measures vibrations as they
occur as "acceleration" as a result of possible
bumping
Basically, the different ME SENSE sensors are placed according
to their respective tasks .
The sensors transmit the telemetry data to the central ME
SENSE RELAY device via a Bluetooth® connection. This device,
also known as a bridge, is in turn connected to a permanently
available WLAN network, e.g. B. the marina, connected. This
WLAN connection enables the measured values received to be
transmitted regularly to a server in the Marine IoT Cloud.
The boat owner can access the cloud with the
Weatherdock "ME SENSE" app via smartphone
or mobile device and display his boat data. If the
measured values reach a self-defined critical le-
vel, an alarm is triggered and the necessary steps
can be initiated immediately.

2Basic steps / Setup
•Connect the ME SENSE RELAY to the power supply
•Place the sensors in the intended location
•Download the ME SENSE app from the app store of
your choice and open it on your mobile device
•Create your own account
•Create your boat within your account
•Scan the QR code and connect to the ME SENSE RELAY
•Connect ME SENSE RELAY to your preferred WiFi net-
work. This can e.g. B. the WLAN of the marina
Important to note:
For data security reasons, public WiFi networks that
do not have a password or SSID cannot be used.
Please only use encrypted WiFi networks for which
you know the network name (SSID) and the password.
•Scan the QR code one after the other and connect the
sensors to the ME SENSE RELAY
•Register all read-in sensors in your created profile
2.1 Mounting Recommendations
The ME SENSE RELAY should be positioned in such a way that
no other technical devices on board affect the WiFi connection
to the router of the Marina WiFi network.
The ME SENSE sensors should be attached in such a way that
they can also fulfill their original purpose.

Page 12 Weatherdock AG
www.easyais.com
For example, a bilge water sensor should be placed in such a
way that rising water inside the boat is detected as quickly as
possible.
For example, a temperature sensor should be placed where a
temperature swing up or down indicates an error.

3Assembly of the ME SENSE RELAY
If necessary, the ME SENSE RELAY should be installed on board
in such a way that daily processes are not disturbed. However,
care should be taken to ensure that the marina's WiFi network
has the best possible reception.
Due to the connection to the power supply (board battery),
the integrated sensor function of the voltage check can also be
used.
3.1 Connection
• Electrical system : 12/24VDC (9-32VDC).
• Connect the “plus” and “minus” wires to the corresponding
terminals on the power source
• Both LEDs on the device light up briefly
• The yellow LED flashes rhythmically
• The blue LED flashes every 60 seconds for approx. 2 seconds
ME SENSE RELAY WiFi has an internal 'buffer battery'. If the
voltage supply falls below 10.5 or 21.0 VDC, the ship owner is
automatically informed via cloud and app that the voltage is
too low and communication with the sensors can no longer
take place.

4ME SENSE App
Download the free app from the app store of your choice and
start it on your smartphone or tablet.
4.1 Basic-Version App
In the basic version of the app without a subscription, the bat-
tery voltage checker and the temperature sensor can be used
without any runtime restrictions and the current values can be
displayed.
4.2 Abo-Version / InApp-Purchase
If you want to use additional sensors for monitoring and dis-
play on the smartphone, then you need the app subscription.
Up to 20 sensors and up to 10 switches (on/off) can be used,
managed and displayed at the same time.
The subscription has a term of 12 months. After the end of the
term, the measured values are no longer displayed in the tiles
and the functionality corresponds to the basic version of the
app again .
The subscription price is €29.99.
