your just getting started...my wife thinks im nuts :)

Someday as finances allow I’d like to have everything controlled by web.

Away from home and it starts to snow? Grab the smart phone and start the snow melt. Wanna work in the shop, grab the phone and turn the temp up. Gonna have an unexpected guest, grab the phone and turn the heat up in the guest bedroom.

That's all part of my plan as well!! I've already started to design a custom Web interface that takes the Control By Web info and converts it into a nicer visual/graphic gauge type setup like the Central Boiler Firestar setup! Now I just need the x300 to run it!

That will all come next summer when I move the boiler.

NICE!!

I used to mess with stuff like that, used to even mess around doing my own apps for Palm Pilots. Don’t have the patience for that anymore and usually I end up drinking way too much while messing with it and my liver has asked that I please leave it to someone else. I have a guy I rent hay ground from that a wiz when it comes to all of that including the new HTML5.

He got bored awhile back and even wrote a game for his kids that has turned into quite the hit on the interned.

Pulled the check valve, although it's above freezing and I can't tell if it helped or not. One thing I did earlier this week was I cracked open the bypass valve for the HXs just a tiny bit. It seemed to help keep the line temps up by increasing flow, but didn't change the heat at the HXs. I will probably keep doing that until it gets cold again and I can see if removing the check valve helped at all.
