## Article

created by Jesse Davids.

### **Purpose:**

The purpose of this repo is to monitor 2 different states of power, plus 1 fault detection system. First you have state power, and generator power. These can either be On/Off. The arduino will capture this information and send it to a **website**, which is hosted on the **web server** made on the arduino in JSON format.

The arduino gets this info from 4 cold-contact switches on the generator. If one wire touches ground, that will pull the pin down, resulting in either a 1 or 0.

#### **Example:**

State power is always on, so the cold-contact switches make contact, sending a value of 1 to the arduino website, letting anyone know that state power is on. As soon as the power goes off, it will reflect a 0.
