Message types
There are five types of message the Yacht Sentinel can send to you, all of which can be read in SMS
format or on the iOS
app by using the ‘paste boat message’ button.
This is sent to the user that requested a parameter update. The SMS contains information about all
the settings of the Yacht Sentinel (e.g. which alarms are on and the radius for the geofence mooring).
