After reading this thread and thinking about it, I think I'm going to put together an arduino based station monitor. These are the items I've come up with to include.

AC power monitor
DC Voltage/Load
Room Temperature
Radio On/Off
Antenna position
Additional relays to provide on/off contacts for accessories

I plan to construct this in a 2U rack enclosure and will provide digital panel readouts as well as remote display and control via an iPhone/iPad app.

Help me out with this and post any other items you think it would be useful to include. In return I will document the process for anyone else that may want one.

    This is in line with some of the monitoring being done at a remote repeater site.  From your description I'm assuming there is some type of remote connection capability.

    Include:

    - Door open/close status

    - User 1-4 binary indicators (e.g. Low generator fuel)

    - User 1-4 byte level indicators 0-15 (binary man at heart)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
