Sidonia

What Sidonia needs from a system.

Sidonia is a thinly settled rural locality in the Macedon Ranges Shire, in the Kyneton postcode, at about 428 metres. It covers a good area for the few dozen people who live there.

With so few neighbours, properties often have long private driveways and a good distance from the nearest services. A system here should be built for reliability first, with a battery sized for the essentials, simple to maintain, and monitored over the internet.
