I think I have seen others do this with some smaller dedicated timer thermocouple controllers.. but I wanted to be able to write software to do more.. like email me start/stop emails.. and the openenergy monitor emonpi gives access to emoncms.org which lets me see the kiln temps 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.. and they have an iphone app that you can use to see the data.. so all I had to do was figure out how to publish the data to their service.. and then write a if then loop python script to check for the kiln temp at a time.. if low..turn kiln on.. if high.. turn it off.... I have dreams of a cleaner simpler script.. but no time to get it done.

Has anyone installed a engery monitoring system? Last electric bill came in and it's still high even though heat hasn't been running much as previous month. House is entirely LED too. Would love to be able to monitor and have a better idea of my energy usages.
