In relation to monitoring various charge controllers.... We've also got a new unit coming, hopefully shipping in the next 2-3 months or so (we've ordered enclosures, which is a good sign)....
Pictures are up on the web at http://monitoryourworld.com/. It's the top product picture. It's essentially a sitemonitor and device interface in one. The main advantage over the sitemonitor + expansion module product for SNMP-aware customers is that this is going to expose a lot more of the device information. For everyone else, these units are intended more as a standalone monitoring and notification tool, which will include logging and graphing, along with threshold notifications via email and so on. The initial release will be for the Morningstar SunSunsaver MPPT, the Morningstar ProStar MPPT, and the SunSaver Duo. Shortly thereafter will be hardware releases which will support a whole bunch of additional controllers. The ones which come to me off the top of my head are the Morningstar TriStar controllers and the Midnite Solar Classic and Kid charge controllers. With that in mind, at a WISP Site, I'd probably still stick with the Sitemonitor + Expansion module just because you gain a lot more flexible monitoring of other parameters with this.
