An opto-isolator is a splendid idea that will almost always work. Why did someone not already bring it up?!?! Kudos to you .

Using an analog signal would be getting a little off from what we want here. For something like the raspberry pi or propeller would be hard to interface with a DAC/ADC couple. On the RPi, I don't know if you'd even have enough GPIO!
