Narrowboat home automation – basic Aqara setup
A neighbour’s narrowboat sank yesterday which is my worst nightmare as a liveaboard boater. I’ve been thinking about some light (floating) home automation after finding out about water sensors and Aqara’s range was a good fit.

It’s been an eventful month in my new narrowboat home with pretty serious flooding in the local area, and work progressing to turn Lizzy from a leisure boat to a cosy liveaboard with winter on its way. I’m also getting a routine in place with boat checks, chopping wood and carrying water.

So I’ve moved Thin Lizzy to Sawley Marina now with the help of a retired, experienced boating couple. There was a weir to pass on the way over plus some parking required, and having their help was amazing. There’s been so much to learn in a short time and my head is spinning.
