    Another option is a ComBox for the second point of monitoring. If you have a home network wired or with WiFi you can use a Android tablet at least 7 in screen or other computer, tablet notebook etc to view. ComBox is missing a couple of features in firmware for full control but if you have a SCP on the network they can be activated from it. I am bugging tech support to include in ComBox firmware update. They are the enhanced interactive mode for the MPPT 60-150 and the XW. And the gen support mode for small generator to balance leg loads.

    Don't know about a iPhone but yes it will work on IPad. Works on mine, have chrome installed but works from safari etc. You can monitor and change settings from it except for the two I mentioned. It also, logs to a micro-SD card that can be brought up or saved into Excel format.
