You are absolutely right too, TeamViewer to check, Moblie Phones to restart (actually I am starting to use a new device that restarts thru LAN), Web cameras to monitor, Fiber optic internet + 3G for safety, and a few temperature sensors around the room which have cool graphics and send me SMS-messages if they reach a warning temperature.
Sounds like you are well set up. Can you elaborate on the temperature monitoring systems you've set up, they sound relevant to my interests. Perhaps RPi based?
I use some
USB temperature sensors from ebay, similar to this:
EBAYWhat do you use to restart your rig from your cell phone?
This 5v relay, remove the vibrator motor, and connect it instead now when it vibrates it activates the relay.
It important that the relay is "+" activated not "-" like most of the 5v relays for Ardunos and shit.
btw the Arduno is perfect and for temperature measuring too.
