# 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: | ||
