Yeah, a mate of mine was recommending Arduino over the Pi. I'm not familiar with them so I need to look into this.The one nice thing about running an arduino you could have a switch to remotely power the PI and automatically turn on when you hit the switch.
ETA- if you’re worried about your battery I would run a decent sized AGM battery with a battery isolator so you could run it all the way down without effecting your start or house batts.
I like the idea of a dedicated AGM but I run 6v Trojans for the house and 2x 80amp flooded 12v for the starter. Both of these can (and should) take 14.8v charge, whereas the AGM is rated at 14.4v. My split alternator to battery charger, and the shore-power charger, are both set to flooded. An AGM would need an independent charge unit.
