Also note that the thermocouple will produce voltage, so I don't plan on using the 3V supply in the breakout box as a part of this circuit. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

As well as a rule for excessive temperature values is there a way to have a web based app that will see the Twine on the network the iPhone is on so I can see the temperature live on screen?

Obviously a quick way to achieve this is access the https://twine.supermechanical.com/ page on my iPhone whilst at home. Just wanting something that looks clean and only shows the temperature.

My
product is a HVAC filter monitor which you can read more about on our
website (www.airflow1.com). The CFM-GM Clogged Filter Monitor has an
option to connect directly to the breakout board for Twine, you then set
rules to send yourself a text message when the switch closes to check
your air filter.

I've had this running now for over a year and it works great!

I am trying to so a simple test

where the servlet simply dumps the parameters.

Testing the URL says error. It seem to never reach tomcat.

I have tested this form a couple of computers from the LAN and it works...

Any hints ??

Please do not tell me it needs to go trough a public it so it can be reached from supermechanical servers.....

If I have a cell phone... and I can turn my cell phone into Wifi Hub... why couldn't I connect my Twine to this network?  If we could do this then the Twine would have NO boundaries...

I could be out in a field, pull my Twine out of my pocket... setup a Rule... duck tape Twine to my Dogs collar and let her run, and I could tell when she got wet, or each stepped over a log?

DUDE that is powerful... Don't get me wrong the Twine is great in a controlled environment, but if you really want to take the gloves off and make this thing useful... free it from the traditional WiFi router.

I was thinking about the rule when the breakout is closed for 10 seconds to send a certain mail.  Ant then another rule for when it is closed 12 seconds..... But when I close it for 10 seconds it will send both emails?  Unless i can find a way to state when the breakout board is close for more than 10,5 sec and less than 11.5 ??
