I've been asked to obtain and set up a controller for a client, with remote monitoring. I would be doing the monitoring and take any necessary action if occasion arises.
I'll be the first to admit my knowledge in this venue is lacking.
The system in question is often unattended for days at a time (fish are fed with a feeder when nobody is there).
He's got an older RK2 and the bit of research I did suggests this isn't doable with this device, or at the very least, could be done better with a newer device. Right now we have temperature control on the RK2, and the main pump is not on it at all (it was, until a fuse blew in the controller and shut everything off - that wasn't pretty). Now we're at the point where we are starting to stock the tank and we want to avoid something like that happening again, and have real-time monitoring so I can "peek in" from time to time, AND be alerted if a parameter goes out of whack.
Help me out, folks
