remote battery monitor?

jtdiesel65

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to have remote battery monitoring. I currently have a trimetric at the battery location. I have a Schnieder combox and 2 midnite classics wired into a wireless router. I'm using an android device to view the combox web application for inverter state and the Midnite's Local application to view charge controller state. Neither of those tells me how full the batteries are because voltage will not represent battery state during charge or discharge.

So, I'm looking for some way to have the % of battery charge viewable on the android device. Bogart apprently has an ethernet interface for their pentramtric, but you have to use a Windows application to view the data. So that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

thx

No I don't. Does the local app have access to the WBjr data?

thx

Yeah it does. WBJr is a neat and cheap bit of kit. Worth every penny and then some...
