I started a thread.. if you do a search.

i think website is something like control by web.

lots of options. if you have internet out there, limitless possibilities.

yup, controlbyweb.com i wish i could offer more insight but i still need to hook my x300 up. here is a snapshot from a quick test i did. in the coming weeks i will have all 8 sensors hooked up that i can view from any computer or even my iphone. can also control 3 relays either manually, timed, or by setpoints of thermal sensors. i will use one to turn on oil burner head when storage temp falls below 140*. one to turn wood boiler off when storage hits 200*. and the last relay for the block heater on my truck. :) the only thing is that you need to have an internet wire run to the control unit and also change something with IP addresses that i will need to figure out as well.

Mine runs at 200'C or a bit higher
 
Hello

Another suggestion is the Ecobee EB-Stat-02 WiFi T-stat with the optional remote model where you can add additional sensors for temps. Then you can monitor all temps with the free downloadable app on your smartphone anywhere in the world. :)
 
Look up Azel Technologies. They have a nice 2 read thermometer that will wok great.
yes i got one but i still want to remotly see the temp of top and middle of storage tk in basement my boiler is 120 feet away in shed ive looked for a few days but cant find the one that will work thinking about a wireless cooking thermo from amazon for 40$ not sure yet thanks for all the help so far mark
