Has anyone looked into modifying this for solar-powered fencing in remote pastures? Also, it sounds like you only get the status when you query the system. Would it be difficult to have an alert automatically sent when the fence is down?
This is a really cool idea I'd also like to see something where you can text and turn on generators, Animal feeders, water so on and so forth.

Hi Clayton
I'm so glad your repurposing Fido! I was so happy to see that putting some parts of my tutorial in wiki pages allowed you to integrate them easily into your tutorial. If you see any explanations worth improving, please get in there an edit away.
