Re: [AFMUG] PacketFLux Gen Controller alternative

[Jesse DuPont]

We've used the Magnum Energy automatic generator start controller, which will start a 2-wire or 3-wire generator and run it for a certain amount of time, with time-of-day exclusion or based on temperature. I'd rather use a Packetflux because I've already a Site Monitor there. Functionality-wise - For off-grid sites, we need it to start the generator at a battery low-voltage threshold point and run for some period of time (1-8 hours, adjustable). It would also be nice to be able to start it manually and have it stay on for some period of time or let it run until stopped. Also, it would be nice if it had a regularly scheduled 10 minute exercise period, in case the generator didn't have this built in.

The reason I ask is that we've finally restarted software development on the logic/scripting engine for the base3 and the rules portion of the generator controller is forming the basis for those tools.     If it's just start the generator when voltage is low and let it run for some time,  that will be easy to recreate.   Some of the fancy sequencing/state engine probably won't make it in,  but some of that will also be able to be recreated.
