During the summer I will be living in a remote location. I want to access the miners remotely to restart them and change pool data etc. Would that be possible with a Rasberry Pi?
Also, how big is the risk of fire? I'm not sure if I'm confortable leaving the miners on for 3 months without surveillance. Are the S3s stable enough?
You can setup your Pi to be a VPN server so you can remote login to your miners. It's a bit of work to get it running, but once you do, it's the next best thing to being there Also, how big is the risk of fire?

With team viewer you can log in from pretty much anywhere there is internet, including phone apps at this point. So no needing to know current IP, just your username and password.
If your worried about fire this wont really alert you. You might look into fire alarms tied into a security system if you want easy. Or you could look into hooking up a a smoke sensor to the raspberry pi.
