This page describes DD67, "Far Watch Watcher"... the third leg of a system you can build incrementally to monitor sites remotely.
The application began because of a second premise I am involved with. At times, it is infrequently visited in cold winter weather. If the heating fails, pipes could freeze. I can now check the temperature there any time I choose to, from any internet connected computer on the planet. The computer I use to check the premises doesn't need any special software.
Before you read more of this page, check out the overview of the FarWatch system, which will open in a new window if you double click the link earlier in this sentence.
If you set FarWatchWatcher up on a PC, say on your desk, and leave it running, it will periodically (how often is up to you) do a remote check of distant premises. If the temperature on a sensor you have specified is below a temperature you have specified, a red panel will flash on the screen, alerting you to the possibility that there is a problem at the remote premise.
Apologies for this somewhat sketchy page... I hope it tells you what you wanted to know... and it if doesn't, there's a way to contact me at the bottom of the page!
You can try FarWatchWatcher for free, but if you find it useful, you will have to register. It is a new product... pricing is not established yet. $20? Pricing to trying it: For now: Free! But you have to set up FarWatch and DS025 before you can use FarWatchWatcher. (See the FarWatch overview page.)
Still reading? Great! You have DS025 running? Time to download and try FarWatchWatcher...
