Now that power management devices are becoming more prolific (Pegasus PowerBox, the new Stellarmate Pro, etc) - are there any plans on adding either a Power Management module or adding a sub-module to Observatory for things like power / current history, controlling PWM Dew Heaters, turning power outputs on/off?

All of these value boxes are already in the Ekos settings for the Pegasus PowerBox, but I was wondering about a nice GUI in one of the Ekos tabs / modules?

Something like the Unity display of the Pegasus App:

Good idea! I think such power controls would end up the Observatory module.. maybe just need a way to abstract them there.

This is great idea. I am using portable LiFePO4 battery with smart BMS, which could be connected over bluetooth. I can imagine for example controlled shutdown of my equipment based on battery voltage (to prevent battery damage). Or just simple overview for battery status could be helpful.

Great idea! I'd love also to see drivers for more power management boxes. I have a Hitecastro MHP compact that I was never able to use :(
