Generac Generator "Wireless Status" protocol?

I have a Generac Guardian 20 kW generator.

I noticed there is a 100-300$ wireless monitor system. I am pretty handy with micro controllers and doing this myself. I am curious, if anyone knows how the wireless receiver (the part on the generator) communicates with the main controller?

From the install instructions found here

It looks as if there is Power/Ground and 1 Data wire. So, possibly just Serial (UART)?

Thanks

Don't know about the 20K but on my 80k, it's an RS-422 serial interface for the remote control unit.
