Sounds like it could be a worthwhile addition

I don't trust my temp gauge so i've just invested in a mason.. came the other day (yet to fit it).
So i will soon be adding another "beep". (when the patio's done).
My point; I think it would great if these devices were all brought together that sort of acted as a sentinel, like on one loom keeping an eye on what could possibly go wrong, relay that back to ether a little screen or LED readout. you get one beep you look at the monitor & it says "yer too hot", "you dropped coolant", "yer doors open"!
The alarm system i fitted gave me scope for internal sensors & remote locking, even window closers if left open!!!
I dare say if i wanted it would ring me at 3am to tell me a hoodie's peering through my drivers window..
What am i saying; it would take the fun out of driving.. (i check my coolant twice a day as it is!)

Well, funny you should mention it. I have received some interest & have started work on making a couple. It would be to compliment existing devices available, rather than to replace them. More news to follow....
