How can you use EMM-Tek products? Here are some ideas.

I recently spoke with a security installation company and the conversation turned to how the EMM-Tek products could be used in more creative ways.

So I recently updated the application ideas page on the EMM-Tek web site and here are some of those ideas.

Know when your car/boat/tractor has been started by linking battery voltage to the ALARM function at 11V. (Battery voltage dips when the starter is used) 
 
Use the digital input on the RMC301 to monitor a float switch in the boat bilge to warn of rising water levels.  
 
Use the RMC301 digital inputs to monitor a float switch to know when oil/water or slurry tanks are running low or about to become over full.  

You do not want this spilling out into local watercourses (Slurry tank pictures from Wikipedia)

With a temperature sensor connected to the RMC301.

Use NAP & ONWAKE functions to send an hourly log of temperature. (ideal for cold storage log files)
   
Exhibiting at a show? Protect that storage cupboard you built on the stand with your stock in it with the RMC320 or RMC302. Reuse at the next exhibition.  

With a GPS receiver connected to the RMC301

A Twitter message is simply an SMS message sent to Twitter, so why not Tweet system status updates? Then anyone can look at the latest information. Tweet the location of your delivery van, mobile shop, mobile fish & chip van. You can set how often a Tweet is sent. Tweet any variable being measured by your system to a wide audience.
