Since the request for a new rack is getting handled with _another_ PDU pair
with no remote power control, I will need to implement something like the
old X10 stuff I ran at home.

<sigh>

The good part is I can justify getting a BeagleBone Black box as an upgrade
to the RasPi :-)

Now if I can do a remote power detection and determine when the room power
is running on battery without actually wiring anything to the units...

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
