Other fun and useful stuff that might be added, with various levels of cost and complexity:
  • Log generator run time
  • Monitor / Alarm fuel level
  • Monitor /Alarm engine or generator winding temperatures
  • Count power outage events / Log power out time
  • Monitor output power or voltage and current demand
  • Auto start periodically to maintain bearings and equipment health...alarm if no start
  • etc ...

This is what I love about the versatility of using PIC chips.
