I’d like to find a less expensive way than the Guardian to monitor a Fortress Evault battery. (No Envy inverter, open loop w/ Magnum.)Third party something? 
My cost on the guardian is now close to $500. It was a little over $300 years ago at this time. Tariffs possibly. 

All the customer really needs is battery SOC
So he can go to the site and manually start the generator if necessary. He lives a few miles away and doesn’t trust remote auto-start given the generator’s condition.

I could just park a cheap security camera right in front of the E vault display since we’ll have Wi-Fi there, if the evault display can be set to illuminate constantly, as it is a touchscreen.
