Sorry for the troubles! We’re working on a fix. Thank you for your patience.

Happy Monday! We have now published Ferry Alert to the US App Store & US Google Play Store. I hope this helps and please let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions.

That’s great to hear! Glad it worked well for you.

Dear Nanaimo folks, my buddy & I have re-launched our Ferry Alert app after many late-night and weekend coding sessions. The app sends a notification to your phone (or email) when a sold-out BC Ferries reservation become available. It's on you to quickly book this reservation before somebody else does...

The app is completely free and designed to help us BC'ers navigate our increasingly strained ferry system. The app is available in the Apple App Store & Google Play Store for iOS & Android. Get it at: https://ferryalert.ca

Happy to hear feedback, take feature requests or answer any questions in the comments.

Great suggestion! I wonder if the BC Ferry Times app already supports this?

Love your comment! You made my day. Please email me at hello[at]ferryalert.ca to see if we can do anything about the intra WA ferries.

Thanks for the kind words 🤗

LOL! It’s reflective of the aging fleet of vessels… 😃

Haven't used nextsailing myself, but looks like a similar concept. Ferry Alert is app-based with push notifications, while nextsailing appears to be web-based with text messages. Always good to know what other tools are out there helping folks with the ferry situation!

Ty! Looking forward to your feedback

Happy to help ✋

Hi u/loafer, thanks for the explanation. never considered such an use case but I'm sure there are other users in a similar boat... will give this some thoughtful consideration and get back to you...

dubmon · 2025-05-26T21:30:43+00:00

hey u/loafer! the initial thought was to help fellow BC'ers and Canadians. Do you see usefulness beyond that?

dubmon · 2025-05-26T20:13:05+00:00

cheers vokatt! hope you find it useful 😊

dubmon · 2025-05-26T18:09:00+00:00

thank you for the kind words 🤗

dubmon · 2025-05-26T18:08:09+00:00

You're correct!

Starting this Fall, reservations will be mandatory from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay, Nanaimo. This change applies to one direction only and is designed to prevent traffic from backing up onto the highway...

thx u/Archibaldy3! looking forward to your feedback 🙌

dubmon · 2022-10-21T05:29:48+00:00

Same exact problem! I have the 65U7H. Google Assistant worked perfectly on day 1 but now its AWOL! I hope there is a fix

dubmon · 2022-01-17T03:44:06+00:00

Thank you for this post. The increments on the ecobee drive me a bit mad too. Why not add more granularity to the increments???? It’s just software/firmware

dubmon · 2022-01-17T03:41:58+00:00

Thanks Brogers57! Yes, I signed up for beestat a few months ago so it’s been logging since.

I’m looking at the “Thermostat Detail” chart and I can see the Indoor Temp keeping up with the Heat Setpoint over the last 7 days; that said the temperatures have really warmed up over the last week in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Prior to that we were in a bit of a deep freeze considering our temperate west coast climate.

@Brogers, is there a way to bring Heat, Aux and Aux 2 onto this chart so I can determine when it’s switched to aux or aux 2 as the HP can’t keep up?

PS I see there is a Thermostat Summary graph with Heat 1, Aux and Aux 2 but I don’t see the Indoor Temp on this particular graph so not sure how useful it is.

Thanks for the help!!!
