Yeah, that controller is awesome. I attempted to use one, but it was
way, way overkill for what I was trying to do. So I traded it to Gino. I
remember Forrest did say that he'd have something newer and cheaper to
build coming later.
In theory, you could use a base unit and the 6ch voltmeter module. Use
the relay on the base for your two-wire remote start contact. I would
use a couple 120VAC (or 240 if that's what the genset is) to 12 or 24VDC
linear power supplies. Linear because it allows you to see variable
voltage. This would obviously require you to do all of the sequencing
remotely via SNMP.
Does the generator you have not have any controller built in? What
exactly are you working with?

I think Forrest has discontinued his Generator Control board. Is
there anything out there that is equivalent? I have a generator that
just requires a contact closure to start, and I can transfer the power
with some relays. I just need something to monitor the voltage and
activate relays and be able to exercise the generator on a schedule.
And be able to do simple things like wait for the power to be out for
2 minutes before starting the generator.
