I appreciate that! Let me know if you end up pursuing a project.

I've been thinking about implementing some alerting/failsafe mechanisms and I like your pragmatic approach of keeping the system running at a bare minimum in case of a failure. I've been thinking about exactly that.. a deadman's switch/heartbeat or maybe an external IOT sensor to alert me.
