Re: [WISPA] charge controller
Actually not using a routerboard for monitoring, not all boards have the capacity either, I use RMS boards for that feature. but... http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Monitor_input_voltage_on_RB333/433AH contains some useful info for doing such. you could also just monitor with zabbix and setup to send an alert when the voltage gets below a trigger threshold.

Re: [WISPA] charge controller
Steve, What RouterOS are you using that script? You using just the MT board to monitor or having it talk to the controller via ssh or whatever?

Re: [WISPA] charge controller
Are you using DC or AC power as the main source? If DC, it's efficient and easy. battery bank, good charger (Iota), (set to float the batteries) if you have mikrotik, you can script an alarm to send email alerts at given battery voltages. RMS board made by http://www.remotemonitoringsystems.ca/ will give you lots of capability with remote switching. will allow you to perform snmp queries and graph your important data with cacti or zabbix.

[WISPA] charge controller
We are implementing battery power at some of our tower sites and are looking for a charge controller that will handle battery power for all our equipment on the towers and provide these options. - Remote Management - Email notification - battery power monitoring - auto power switching I'm looking at tycon but they do not have these options available. Basically just want something to handle the backup batteries with no interruptions in power and notify us when the tower is running on battery power. Also if possible allow for remote on/off of power to the equipment on the tower. Can anyone make a few suggestions for some manufactures to look into? WISPA Wants You!
