Grain Bin Monitoring System

In the process of putting up a 48' 13 ring Sukup bin to add to my grain storage system. I have been considering a bin monitoring system. What's good? What's not? What's important to monitor? Temp? Moisture? Level?

I will be filling this bin with an air system out of a continuous flow dryer.

Highly recommend Centaur. They are new but technology is outstanding, and pricing is great.

I have heard good things about intellair, www.tsgcinc.com and www.rolfesatboone.com

Does anyone use sensors to monitor filling? I hate climbing on bins.
