Hi Bill,

Very interesting use-case. A video would be a great way to explore this however, we are in the midst of a couple of projects that are taking most of our time currently - we will not be able to make a video to help here.

That said, if you could provide some additional information, maybe someone from the community could help you out with some programming or suggestions for your use-case. It would help if:
- you could provide details on exactly how you envision your setup (alerts, what do you want the water heater to do and when, etc)
- provide information (maybe even pictures) of the hardware/equipment you have and what you would like to do
- any other details that might help some of the mcThings users to help you out

As you work through the project, our team and other users can help to answer questions here on the forum

Thanks
