Hello All,
I’ve been working on a web-based program to monitor my stoker and change its settings. I like the stoker-log program, but did not want to be tied to viewing the status on a single machine. The program I’m working on is a web-app that will run on a web server and be accessible from any browser, including mobile devices. The home screen is read-only, so it can be viewed by anyone. After logging into the application, you will be able to change settings. Here is a short list of features that I plan to have in the first release.
Features:
• Web Interface / multi-browser / mobile device support.
• Large dials for viewing probe temperatures and alarm settings
• Easy recognition of alarm conditions
• Supports multiple cookers and temperature probes
• Logging of cook data, supports multiple logs simultaneously
• Default page is view only, login to change settings.
• Cook profiles to store and load favorite settings.
• Displays and logs local outdoor weather information
• Email updates
• Real time graphs
The temp data is provided real time to the browser as the temperatures change, and uses server-push technology. The accompanying graph is updated once a minute. It uses the telnet interface to the stoker since the JSON response times are pretty slow.
I must add, that this program is not for everyone. It will not be as easy to setup and configure as the stoker-log. It is a web application that requires a servlet engine like Jetty, Tomcat or any other application server. My plan is to run the program on my webserver 24/7. If / when it detects the stoker online, it will start a log and begin displaying stats when I open the page.
Edit, Project site is here: http://code.google.com/p/stoker-web/
I'll try to get a screen shot up.
