I would probably use labels to show the data (a text area if it needs to be large). Sometimes it is best to set the background to black and the text color to another color to highlight it better. Remember that you can use HTML in these areas if you need to. With the buttons, you could change the text from ON to OFF (possibly change the color to Green for the ON text and Red for the OFF text).
