Brandon, We have a PacketFlux base unit at every single site. We monitor voltage and temperature of every enclosure with Zabbix and have alerts setup depending on what type of site we have. Some sites are 24v, some 24v solar, most 48v, some 48v solar, a different alert setup for each one so we know when the power went out and when we hit 50% and 20% battery capacity.
