Monitored Power Distribution

[tweiss3]

I just picked up a 84" rack, and I'm going to rearranging my entire shack to be in this rack. Since I'm moving things, I was going to straighten out the power situation. Currently I have each power supply on a wifi outlet that I can shut off remotely. I'd like to change to a distribution system that I could swap in a power supply with battery backup, but be able to shut the radios/distribution off remotely as well (since a power outage or using the wifi outlet will just swap to battery power).

Ideally I wanted one of the RigRunners that have network controls, but all of those options have been out of stock for 2 years now, and it seems they keep bumping the date expected every time I checked. A 10010i would be perfect, but I'm not sure they will ever be in stock/available.

Are there any other options? Ways to roll my own? I'd even consider a DIN rail if I knew it could come together easily.

Sierra Radio Systems is in early production of a system they call the Station Controller. The basic idea behind the design is to provide monitoring and control of a remote station. The design is modular with a control unit based on a Raspberry Pi and various I/O units that include low level digital inputs, analog inputs, relay outputs, RF switching, and RF monitoring. The user interface is built in Node Red.

That looks promising. I'll have to dive into their groups.io to really evaluate it, but that looks like what I was hoping to find.
