### Watcher
watcher.py is a watchdog for your kiln. It is a stand-alone python script that, every few seconds, verifies the kiln-controller.py process is running, and within a certain acceptable temperature range. By default it checks every 10s and after six failed checks, it sends a message to a slack channel. It can run on any network, but needs to be able to access the kiln and slack.

If you configured slack, you can test it by starting the watcher without the kiln-controller running and after six failures to reach the kiln, it will send a notification to slack.
I have the slack app on my android phone. This enables me to receive notifications every time I receive a slack message on a specific channel. This way, I can set my phone on vibrate, put it in my pocket and go mow the lawn... yet still know that my kiln is good.
