Has anyone found a cheap remote over the internet temperature monitoring for a boiler? I would like to keep tabs on things when I am at work.

I've seen numerous ones on Ebay and Amazon.
Or Get a wifi internet type camera pointed at the boiler that can broadcast over the internet and I think with an app you can monitor it.

After trying a few different things, I'm very pleased with the current IP camera I'm using.

The best option most likely is to use a remote IP camera like in the link posted above.wildwood wrote:I'm looking, haven't found a cheep option yet. Hoping to find a temp and pressure wifi unit.

What's cool about that particular model is that it appears you can put several of them around the house and then toggle between them on the smart phone app.wildwood wrote:Yah, starting to lean that way, might as well setup a few around the house for security reasons too.

Yeah that's neat but what are your plans with it? I saw the probe is good up to 257 degrees. For monitoring boiler temp?GaryFerg wrote:I found this and am in the process of hooking it up now.
