Detailed CZone add-on features

** Update rate

While CZone unlimited provides real-time switch updates from the system, CZone lite updates the switch state periodically at least every 20 minutes. This means that if a switch is activated onboard, its state in the Sentinel app will update no later than 20 minutes later. However, when toggling a switch state from the Sentinel app, it will be updated immediately.


As remote switching is usually used while not being on-board, the delay of max. 20 minutes should be acceptable. On the other hand flipping a switch also updates the state and allows a work-around to refresh the switch state on request. 


Choosing between CZone unlimited and CZone lite


An example: a boat with 10 monitored inputs and 4 remote switches could use:

a) Basic subscription plan with support for up to 10 sensors + switches + CZone unlimited add-on

b) Basic subscription plan with support for up to 15 sensors + switches + CZone lite add-on


Both plans could monitor all sensors and remotely toggle the switches, however the difference is:

  • plan a) will update switch states in real time and will allow user to add more (unlimited) czone switches for remote switching. User will still have 10 sensor readouts available for monitoring in addition to unlimited number of CZONE switches. It will also automaticall acknowledge alarms when they are acknowledged by (in) the CZone system.
  • in plan b) the size of subscription plan defines the number of sensors and swithches available for monitoring. The total number in this case is 15 sensors + switches. Switches will be updated when user makes a change in the app (toggles a button) or every 20 minutes. User has to acknowledge CZone alarm in Sentinel app before a new alarm of the same type can be received.
