Maybe that was a bit harsh Tongue but the cgminer api is readable by default although it is restricted to read only(it initializes using "--api-network"). Using this for management is fine but I would be very careful about the refresh rate especially with S1. I would suggest using the cgminer API for monitoring instead of the html pages it will be much faster.

Speed isn't an issue.  As noted above, the UI to the S1s is slow as well.  

I'm also doubtful the cgminer shows everything the UI shows, such as the status of the Ant chains.

It does show that information. The UI simply reads the cgminer API actually so everything you see there can be pulled directly off the cgminer API.

I had a look at the cgminer API.  I also googled antminer API.  The only thing I found is S1s default to 127.0.0.1 only, so you have to change it before you can reach it on the network.  I found zero info on the API that the S1s and S2s use in cgminer.  However I did find lots of people saying they were unable to get the cgminer APIs to provide what they needed, for one reason or another.

do not worry about that, look at CGREMOTE (another nice application for monitoring miners) it works with no problem, just query the miner with IP address and port 4028. Example 192.168.1.99:4028 you can access it by API in read-only.


Check the code for MultiMiner...it has built-in monitoring for S1 and other devices via API (127.0.0.1:4028)

Sorry but I can't find any way to monitor my S1's through the windows application nor the app on my phone...


Gotta setup MultiMiner to run on a PC on your local network. Check the box to "auto detect" network devices...then create an account for a key so the mobile app can sync with the PC running MultiMiner on your miners network.
Here's the thread link on Bitcointalk...

Just so you all know, I do use M's Ant monitor in conjunction with MultiMiner, I just wanted mdude77 to know that MultiMiner is capable of monitoring the S1's etc. and maybe he could borrow some code from MultiMiner to improve the Ant Monitor Cheesy
