If you are powering the BCMU from a TSP series power supply, they also have
remote shutdown.
I'm having a little trouble though wrapping my head around the concept of
remote shutdown if the device commanding the remote shutdown (or the
wireless gear and router that gives you remote access) need power. How is
that going to work? I must be missing something.

FYI on this thing. The "remote shutdown" contact is an internal battery
disconnect ONLY. The regular BCM24/48/A is a true shutdown and battery
disconnect. I'm glad I tested this at one of the BCMU sites a couple
weeks ago. Close it, relay clicks, everything is still on. Remove input,
everything shuts off. Restore input to bring everything back up. Not
sure how useful this is. I suppose if you're paranoid about ruining the
battery from deep discharge (has LVD though). Power is out, close the
contact and everything goes down immediately. Power comes back and it
*should* come back up. Should meaning whatever you have closing that
contact doesn't make it permanent.
