Optional dependencies

signalk-autostate by @meri-imperiumi. Used to determine the vessel's state based on sensor values, and updates the navigation.state value accordingly.

The signalk-derived-data and signalk-path-mapper plugins are both useful to remap available data to the required canonical paths.

Source data

The following SignalK paths are used by PostgSail to generate logbook and monitoring. SignalK Keys Reference (Vessel)
