With winter coming there is one project that stands out that needs to be done before it fully settles in. Remote start/stop of the generator in PAW.
The Problem
During the winter months, I will have to run the generator from time to time.

&lt;p&gt;Also, an automatic refuelling system so you don&amp;#39;t have to go out into the weather to put gas in the generator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27195&amp;AppID=390&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Project - Generator Control</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/off-grid-makershop/posts/project---generator-control</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2023 21:54:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1b88b7b7-b075-469b-b87e-57502c6e6e42</guid><dc:creator>dougw</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;While doing the exhaust, it might to useful add an external air intake, especially if the PAW is well sealed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder if the waste heat could be used for something useful, whether it is heating the PAW or something else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27195&amp;AppID=390&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Project - Generator Control</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/off-grid-makershop/posts/project---generator-control</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2023 20:01:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1b88b7b7-b075-469b-b87e-57502c6e6e42</guid><dc:creator>beacon_dave</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;How about adding a carbon monoxide sensor and fire detection into the design ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A fuel gauge might be useful as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could perhaps locate a Bluetooth transceiver in the PAW and connect it to the existing IP network back to the house.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27195&amp;AppID=390&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
