Omzlo NEMS Warninglight pHAT

The NEMS Warninglight pHAT from Omzlo is an i2c accessory for Raspberry Pi GPIO that provides visual feedback by way of status lights. For testing or convenience, the pHAT features state LEDs on-board, which, like a connected tower signal light, will indicate the state of your environment. In addition to the signal light functionality, a built-in watchdog (based on the Omzlo PiWatcher) keeps an eye on your NEMS Server and will hard reboot it if it becomes unresponsive.

You will need two separate power sources: one 5V USB input for the pHAT, which powers the Raspberry Pi, and one 12V or 24V power source for the connected tower light, depending on the voltage of the light.
