More about the SiteSentry4
Keep your old dial-up remote and add the web to it. Wire the SiteSentry4's meter inputs across the channels your remote already reads, and its relays in parallel with yours. The old remote keeps working, and you gain web control, an independent alarm handler, a clock-driven scheduler, logging, and e-mail and text alarms, for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
The scheduler resolves events to the second. An event can repeat every day for a month, stop, and come back the next year, which is exactly what AM pattern and power changes need.
Up to two SiteSentry4s fit on one Shelf-1 rack shelf.
