We have a boat that, from time to time, suffers a heating problem.

We'd like to install something that would monitor the air temperature, and if
it fell below a certain level, would call a pre-programmed number. A plus
would be for a unit that can also report high water in the bilge.

I've seen devices you call into, but that will not work as the phone there has
voice mail on it.

As an alternative, are there any devices that can monitor a home and can
provide continuous reporting via the internet?

There are certainly small single-board computers that can maintain
simple web sites. Weatherbug is an example of such use. Web cams that
monitor hawk nests and the like are another.

You would have to get a continuous internet connection at the boat. I
think the autodialer that calls sounds much cheaper, but maybe it
isn't always.

If the marina has wifi available, that might be the cry.
