know whats happening at a glance

hi everyone, most systems I go to work on is a pain for me, only because my system tells me what its doing and im just to used of all info at a glance. these are my thoughts on a simple automation system. im used of looking at a clock on the wall and seeing the l.e.d.,s in the background of the clock and seeing one of these bits of info== charge voltage--if it,s dumping--if water system is up to temp--low gen output--one led for every ssr in the system and battery voltage. each led tells a tail, the charge voltage is coming from the rectifiers and the voltage is a little board that reads voltage and set a relay when it reaches a set voltage, this turns on the led and all leds only have one wire to the clock and a common ground or earth. the low gen output is the same type of board but to read ac power and connects to the rectifiers ac side. the temp switch over system that switchs from water heaters to air heaters also light that led to tell the story on that. the led,s for the dump system are wired to the ground side of each dump , if a dump has a falt the led, dosnt light up, one for each ssr in the system. the same thing for the draw side of the system. this puts 10 led,s x 2 rows + 4 led,s in a row on there own. the led for the battery voltage is from the buss bar for the draw system and lights until 10.5 volts and then go,s out. there is 30 led,s in the clock, room to expand if needed. the wiring is a 15 db cable from a computer x 2 . and sent to the componants room. not all that hard to do but the time can add up. when done and a small time with use go,s by you will look at the clock and know in a glance your complete system stats and I feel safer knowing this info and at a glance. I would like to install a arduino system once my system is complete and no more testing will be done, im a ways from that at this point. I would have a hard time without this system now that im used of it. thanks for reading.
