Sentinel HUB has 2 general purpose input-output pins. Both can be used as outputs, through configuration.


!WARNING! Before proceeding make sure that wiring of the IO pins is correct. When IO is configured as output, it will connect the input signal to ground, which can cause a short circuit if wired incorrectly!


Steps to enable switching: 

1. This guide assumes that the Hub is already paired to the boat monitor. If not, check our Pairing guide first. 

2. Use Sentinel tester app, scan the QR code of the Boat monitor

3. Select peripheral tab, select hub and click configure

4. Select Output for desired pins and exit the tester app

5. If there are available sensors in your license, the hub switches will appear automatically in your switches tab. If you have all sensor slots used, you will have to deselect some sensors and select the newly configured switches. This is done by tapping the pencil icon on Android or selecting "edit sensors" from the drop-down menu on the iOS. Switches can be selected the same way, on the "switches" tab.


I've done everything but still can not use switching: You are probably accessing boat through a guest account. Guest accounts are read only and can not use switching.
