miner fail alarm

[mjsbuddha]

I keep having my miners go down while I'm asleep and lose 8 hours of work. I was wondering if anyone could post some code or develop a tool that uses deepbits api to play an alarm sound when a miners "alive" = false. I have little experience coding and surely I'm not the only one that would find this useful.

You should sleep less 
On a more serious note, I think [Tycho] is working on email notification

That would be EXTREMELY useful.

I used to have a machine or miner go down regularly, but then placed the computers far apart. They now never go down, therefore it must have been heat related. Nothing else had changed other than the distance between the computers.

my issue is my shitty router usually needs a restart

I'm releasing an app for android, most likely early in the next week, monitoring miners status and you can set an alarm if a miner is down.

I'm working on e-mail notification. That was one of the reasons to confirm your address. Not sure if it will help if your router blocks e-mails too when fails.
If you use Outlook, you can set a special sound to play on receiving mail with specified subject or "from" address.

BTC Mine has this feature.

I can't exclude that but sadly Android and iOS are very different, it will mainly depends on the feedback i'll get on the android one.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Any ETA on the email feature? I can get the email via my iphone even when the routers down.
