I have an ahs130 with the dwyer love control.
Is their a way to be able to see the temps on the controller via wifi? Also want to know boiler temp and pressure.
I tried a cheap wifi camera but could not see Guages unless was super close and then nowhere to mount it.
Would like to be able to check on. Boiler when hunting and at work.

I will not lie... when I read the title I honestly thought this had something to do with the better half taking care of the boiler... I was hoping to learn something really special.

I have been using a Blink video camera, last year and now. $35 , but the IR whites out the temperature dial, so I just put an LED bulb that’s always on , so can read the temperature. Got it at Best Buy . Uses home WiFi so I can always check my boiler temperature, especially when at work etc, to know if auger clogged etc. Someone is usually home if that happens, can call and have them poke out the auger.
