A customer has asked for a panic alarm for his swimming pool so that he can receive alarm signals to his mobile via an app or text. I suppose it's a bit like a ring doorbell but with a big red button instead of a doorbell.
Does anyone know of a monitoring system suitable for this, found plenty...

I cannot find anything that meets...
This year I had 2 front tyres replaced, front discs and pads replaced (24 Aug), and I was quite pleased with the price and service, however since going in for this work the tyre pressure monitoring on my Vauxhall Corsa (2015 Limited Edition) is showing the pressures for the 2 front pressures the...

Hello,
How are closed loop sensors like the below and monitored integrated into a control system, isolation switches/switch amplifiers? These are typically used on explosion panels where when they blow off it snaps the cable or ceramic plate causing an open circuit.
(I’m Prepared for the...
Monitoring or evaluating earth leakage on installations should be a great tool in our fault finding skill set.
Would people like to contribute some of their experience or thoughts to build a thread of our collective knowledge.

I'm looking at the OWL system but would like to know what is the current best hardware/software on the market?
Also, since the drives such as the Solax (which I'm considering) have an online system anyhow. Is a secondary system just 'nice to have' for the geek inside of me?
Thanks.

It has over 2 years 'blown' the fuse on 4 inverters, as it a non replaceable item, each time needs a replacement inverter.
We've monitored the AC supply over an 8 week period and both...
