31.1 Partner integration
Raymarine allows 3rd party hardware suppliers to integrate their hardware
with Raymarine Axiom® and Axiom® 2 displays.
Integration allows Interface shortcuts to be available on the display which
provide access to HTML based user interfaces on integration partner’s
hardware.
The hardware must be connected to the display using an ethernet connection.
Interface shortcuts can be accessed from the App launcher and can also be
included in app pages on the homescreen.
Details of current integration partners is available on the Raymarine website:

Raymarine also partners with third party hardware suppliers that use android
APK apps to control their hardware. These APKs are approved and installed
the same way as LightHouse third party apps.
Note:
• For partners who integrated after the release of LightHouse™ 3 version
3.16 the interface shortcuts are only displayed when the display detects
partner hardware.
• For partners who integrated after the release of LightHouse™ 4 the
interface shortcuts are only displayed when the display detects partner
hardware.
• Raymarine does not warrant or provide support for third-party user
interfaces or related third-party hardware. Please refer to the relevant
partner for assistance and troubleshooting.
31.2 LightHouse third-party apps
LightHouse™ third-party apps are Android APK apps, developed by third
parties and approved for use on Raymarine displays running the LightHouse™
3 or LightHouse™ 4 operating system.
Android APK apps must be digitally signed by Raymarine. Signed APKs
can then be bundled with LightHouse™ operating system updates and / or
downloaded from the Raymarine website and installed on the displays.
APK apps can be accessed from the App launcher.
A list of current approved APKs can be found on the Raymarine website:
