I was going through my drafts and noticed for some reason the following was still a draft, and hadn't been sent:
Are you saying this is a DC tower lighting system now? I haven't run across one of those yet. For AC, I was going to recommend that you look into a tower light monitor with a contact output you could hook into a sitemonitor or similar. I know people who have used the ones from www.towermonitor.com with good results. I'm also looking at building a purpose-built module for the sitemonitor system, but this is a ways down the todo list. -forrest On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 5:58 AM, David Milholen <[email protected]> wrote: > I am going to replace my third elec eye.
