Gateway compatibility
Most equipment reaches Zora on NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 directly. These are the boxes that bridge everything else.

What the three answers mean
- Works with Zora. Zora drives this.
- Not supported. Zora cannot drive this. It is still visible on the bus.
- On the roadmap. Not built yet. It is on the list, with no date.
- Works, untested. Built, and not yet checked on a boat. Works, partly untested. The row names what has not been checked.
Raymarine SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter
Works with Zora. Carries a SeaTalk1 autopilot and SeaTalk1 instruments onto NMEA 2000, and Zora's commands and wind back down to SeaTalk1.
Needs. The E22158 on a SeaTalkng backbone socket, not a spur, powered from the SeaTalk1 side or the SeaTalkng side and never both.
Models: E22158. Also called: e22158, seatalk converter, seatalk to seatalkng, stng converter.
Part numbers: E22158.
ShipModul MiniPlex-2Wi
Works with Zora. NMEA 0183 over Wi-Fi, with SeaTalk1 depth, wind, speed, log, water temperature, position and heading translated to NMEA 0183. It only listens to SeaTalk1, so it cannot drive a SeaTalk1 autopilot.
From the manufacturer's documentation, not yet tested on a boat.
Models: MiniPlex-2Wi. Also called: miniplex, miniplex 2wi, shipmodul, multiplexer wifi.
ShipModul MiniPlex-3 without NMEA 2000
Works with Zora. NMEA 0183 over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB, with SeaTalk1 translated to NMEA 0183 in both directions.
From the manufacturer's documentation, not yet tested on a boat.
Models: MiniPlex-3USB, MiniPlex-3E, MiniPlex-3Wi. Also called: miniplex 3, miniplex-3wi, miniplex-3e, miniplex-3usb.
ShipModul MiniPlex-3 with NMEA 2000
Works with Zora. NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk1 onto NMEA 2000. In its SeaTalk-STNG mode it stands in for Raymarine's E22158, which Zora has not tried.
From the manufacturer's documentation, not yet tested on a boat.
Models: MiniPlex-3USB-N2K, MiniPlex-3E-N2K, MiniPlex-3Wi-N2K, MiniPlex-3PRO. Also called: miniplex n2k, miniplex-3wi-n2k, miniplex pro.
Yacht Devices YDWG-02 Wi-Fi gateway
Works with Zora. NMEA 2000 over Wi-Fi, for a server that is not wired to the backbone.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: YDWG-02. Also called: ydwg, ydwg-02, yacht devices wifi.
Actisense NGT-1
Works with Zora. NMEA 2000 over USB.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: NGT-1-USB, NGT-1-ISO. Also called: ngt-1, ngt1, actisense usb.
Actisense W2K-1
Works with Zora. NMEA 2000 over the boat network.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: W2K-1. Also called: w2k-1, w2k1.
Digital Yacht iKonvert
Works with Zora. NMEA 2000 over USB.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: iKonvert. Also called: ikonvert.
Digital Yacht NavLink2
Works with Zora. NMEA 2000 over the boat network.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: NavLink2. Also called: navlink, navlink2.
Any NMEA 0183 multiplexer on the boat network
Works with Zora. NMEA 0183 from any multiplexer or gateway that serves it over TCP or UDP.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: NMEA 0183 over TCP or UDP. Also called: 0183 wifi, nmea wifi, multiplexer, port 10110.
PredictWind DataHub
Not supported. Switch its NMEA 2000 AIS output off. It puts internet AIS targets back on the bus, and the volume swamps the server.
Models: DataHub, DataHub Pro, RDS Sender. Also called: datahub, predictwind, rds.
A gateway that is not on this page
A gateway that is not listed here is unknown, not incompatible. This page says what has been checked, and nothing has been checked about the rest.
