Devices¶
Water Heater Monitor¶
I have added a device to monitor my water heater pilot to ensure that the pilot is still lit. I had an issue where my water heater thermocouple malfunctioned which caused my pilot light to go out.
Future¶
Future planned devices.
Water Level Sensor¶
I have an indoor plant grower that runs out of water.
Create a sensor to send a notification when the water level is low.
