Google has forced a new monitoring technology approach on their devices to the users who rent the devices due to an inability to own the device. The new Google approach to HVAC thermostat monitoring of a premises has a significant observation vacuum in their logic.

GNU remotecontrol accounted for overcoming the filter change obstacle from the conceptual days of the software project.

"This example is an excellent illustration of the value gained by having a Remote Motoring Server, with its fully configurable and flexible alarm functionality, watching your network, your devices, and anything else you can monitor."
