Replace or swap a GOAT device
Moving your boat to a new GOAT device — a replacement or an upgrade. Your boat, its config, thresholds, and history stay in your account, so the new device picks up where the old one left off.
Steps
- Owner only. On the old device, open Settings → GOAT Device → Device Management → Disconnect Device (in the Danger Zone). This factory-resets it, releases it from your boat, and cleans up its remote link.
- Set up the new device the normal way — Settings → GOAT Device → Setup New Device — and pair it to the same boat.
- Once it's online, your boat's settings and history are already there.
Note: Your boat and all its data live in your account, not on the device — swapping hardware doesn't lose them.
Warning: Disconnect Device only works while the old device is online — it's hidden if the device can't be reached. If the old device is dead, skip it and just set up the new one to the same boat; the new device registers and takes over. The dead device's old record stays behind harmlessly in the background — nothing you need to do; contact support if you ever want it tidied up.
Note: The boat's secure remote link is rebuilt on the new device. If remote access doesn't come back, re-enable Remote Monitoring.
