PTT monitor
Keys down. The monitor reports when the radio is transmitting.
RFM series
Each unit is its own monitor. Firmware, schematics, and the on-air software belong to the hardware team. The cloud identifies a unit by MAC address.

Later control for the license holder who owns the unit. Not a public key line. | Prototype |
| RF power RFM-RFP |
rf-power |
Forward power at the station, so a dead exciter is obvious. | Prototype |
| Samlex supply RFM-SAM |
samlex |
Volts, amps, and health on the Samlex. A dropped supply shows up as a gap. | Prototype |
| Station DC RFM-DC |

Temperature packages for the shack. RFMon 1 is one channel on ESP8266. The ESP32 unit is eight channels, or stackable modules, and still one MAC. Firmware posts temp with readings.channels. c is Celsius.
| Package | API | Board | Channels | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RFMon 1 | temp |
ESP8266 | 1 channel | Plan |
| RFMon 8 | temp |
ESP32 | 8, or stackable modules | Plan |
One temperature channel. The package is the controller, one sensor, power, and a cable.
Eight channels on one board, or modules that stack. The hardware team chooses the form. One MAC for the controller.
