[RE-wrenches] Internet-based monitoring -- including battery banks?

[Jason Lerner]

Hi Dan,

A far as off grid system data monitoring,  especially with Outback  
gear, I really like the products from Julie Haugh at greenHouse  
computers.  http://www.greenhousepc.com/greenMonitor.html  The  
technical support is incredible.  The software is highly  
programmable,  reliable, and keeps power consumption to a minimum.   
The data gathered can be viewed in spreadsheets,  graphs, plots,  
mobile browser, email notifications, etc. without all the more flashy  
CO2 offset numbers like a fat spaniel readout.  Out of all the  
products she offers,  the gmMate which allows an Outback mate to be  
viewed on a computer off site,  and the gmLite,  which is a little  
data monitor that runs off the AUX output from an Outback FX/VFX are  
my favorite.

Best,

Jason Lerner
