### Scheduling a Kiln run
If you want to schedule a kiln run to start in the future. Here are [examples](https://github.com/jbruce12000/kiln-controller/blob/master/docs/scheduling.md).
### Watcher
If you're busy and do not want to sit around watching the web interface for problems, there is a watcher.py script which you can run on any machine in your local network or even on the raspberry pi which will watch the kiln-controller process to make sure it is running a schedule, and staying within a pre-defined temperature range. When things go bad, it sends messages to a slack channel you define. I have alerts set on my android phone for that specific slack channel. Here are detailed [instructions](https://github.com/jbruce12000/kiln-controller/blob/master/docs/watcher.md).
