# Heater Monitor
# Water Heater Monitor

Monitor the status of my water heater using the [Particle][] Photon.
A program for the [Particle][] Photon that monitors the status of my water
heater and reminds me to switch it off in time.

If the heater continues to be on after a specified amount of time has elapsed,
it broadcasts an event that gets picked up by an [IFTTT][] recipe, which in
turn sends a push notification to my phone. It also blinks the Photon's onboard
LED in case I miss the notification for some reason.

Here is a picture of the first version of the device all wired up:
