[RE-wrenches] Off-grid e-gauge system

[William Miller]

John:

If we can just get one more tweak:  I'd like to change the legends on the 
home screen to replace the term "grid" with "generator."  I think this is 
the final step to make the display make sense.

The E-Gauge engineers and tech support people are very helpful and 
responsive to special requests.  This is a good service model.  I will 
continue to use their products.
