I don't have a web site, and don't know how to set one up. it's not even 
a low priority at this time. I am still trying to document the system so 
if I am unavailable (70 years now), someone will be able to keep the 
system reliable. The way things are going, I expect we will have rolling 
blackouts that I may possibly see. I have had conversation with our 
power supply, a rural electric coop, instead of just controlling my air 
conditioning when peak shaving is needed, my generator will come on, 
automatically transfer us off the grid. Sorry :(
