This is an beta version, yes, I know it is unpolished and a little buggy. If you find one, @Darthporisius in the SMM discord or send me a DM. Screenshots are appreciated. Also, if you have questions, feel free to also ping me in the #helping-using-mods.

Gone away from the base to explore or work on another project?

Wondered if the power at home was good, but didn't have a power pole nearby?

Want a small gadget or website that you could monitor your power on your dedicated server (CSS's Soon ™) remotely?

Then FiscIt Remote Monitoring is here for you!!!

How to get started:

I would strongly recommend reading the documentation on https://docs.ficsit.app/ficsitremotemonitoring/latest/

The web server may be started/stopped by using "/frmweb {start/stop}" in the chat window.

The serial communication may be started/stopped by using "/frmserial {start/stop}" in the chat window.

For Serial, specify the Serial port associated (Windows Device Manager helps with this), then set the Baud Rate

Features:

Power Monitoring on a selected circuit

Battery status, charge, capacity, time until out of power

Output Serial Devices like RaspberryPi, Arduino, and other RS-232 devices

Input support to remotely reset fuses or issue other commands

JSON Support for output to allow updates and additional input/output without disrupting current setups

Web Server Support, complete with Power Information as well as Real-Time Tracking of Player (not multiplayer tested, but should work)

WIP / Future Features:

Input functionality, (i.e. allow button to reset fuse, or turn on/off switches)

Better design of Web UI, #help-wanted

Reverse-proxy support for multiplayer

Known Bugs:

Issues with the Player GeoJSON Coordinates for anyone but the host. Investigations on-going.

Feedback:

Do you have an option or feature that you want? @ me in the modding Discord.

Third-party Support/Apps:

Please note that I did not develop this tool, and thus cannot be of much assistance. I would advise contacting the developer of the tool if no solution can be found:

Ficsit Remote Monitoring Companion App written by Badger

Permissions granted:

You are permitted to create your own UIs for either Web and/or Serial and display them on the Official Satisfactory Modding Discord (further known as Discord Server).

I would strongly recommend the #work-in-progress section, but you are free to post where appropriate.

Please keep it in accordance with the Discord Server and Discord's rule and ToS.
