Re: [AFMUG] Standby power controller question
The one I have is not a Rodchester but its a Gaslow and I think it uses the same sensor using a hall effect. Its a model AD-3G If it is I will set it up that way. thanks Dave On 08/18/2015 05:55 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) wrote: Yes, all of those switches are snmp visible. You should be able to hover over the switches on the status screen to get the OID. Or check the MIB. In the future you may just want to hook up a Rochester sensor which puts out an analog signal to one of the voltmeter inputs. Google Rochester r3d hall effect as an example. If you power it with a 5v source such as a USB power supply, the voltage will correspond to the volume if you multiply the voltage by 20.

All I want the gauge to do is turn on the switch when it gets into the yellow margin to indicate a low tank. I could use that to alert us to get a new tank in place. Is it possible to poll the controller snmp for this switch status ? Thanks Dave --
