We recently installed a Heatmaster MF20000e at our horse farm. This unit will be heating our 3 bay garage, large client viewing lounge, 16 stall stable as well as the 70x140 indoor riding arena.
I am the kind of person that likes to know that things are working properly. I found myself detouring past the boiler every chance I had to check on the temperature. I know that we will be pushing this unit pretty hard with the amount of space that we are heating, and I didn't want to have to open the door constantly to check on the fire.
I built this simple monitor to give live info as well as log temperature and burn data. It has adjustable high and low alarm notifications, as well as adjustable long burn alarms. Alarms notify via the app as well as email.
I may add a fire conserve feature if I have any issues. Hopefully, this can help someone else. Hardware is as follows.
ESP8266
ESP8266 Terminal adapter (optional but makes the install much easier)
ds18b20 ( I used 6, but that will change based on your needs.)
120v relay (tied in parallel with damper solenoid)
