Remotely backing up your HeaterMeter with rclone

[Steve_M]

I've been using rclone at home for a while to backup a couple of my Macs to my Amazon Drive account ( gotta love unlimited storage ).

I checked out the Downloads page and noticed the "ARM - 32 Bit" option (gotta love golang!) and decided to try it out on the heatermeter and it looks to be working just fine!

It's a pretty beefy binary at almost 12MB, but it works.
