This app is a simple, reliable way to remotely access your ControlByWeb devices from your smartphone. Add convenience and ease to your monitoring and control processes. Create customized control panels, manage single or multiple devices, and control remote relays with the swipe of a finger. ControlByWeb products are Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Cellular I/O devices with relays and inputs that can be used to remotely control and monitor industrial devices and sensors. ControlByWeb products can be used to remotely reboot computers, control gates, lights, motors, pumps, door locks, or just about any electrical device. They can monitor temperature, position, water level, flow, power, doors, motion, and much more. All of our products are stand-alone devices the work with or without a network connection.

TelaWatch is a cutting-edge application that provides real-time information and monitors internet networks which use DOCSIS, GPON / Fiber, Switched or Enhanced Ethernet, WAN Routers and/or DSL / VDSL equipment.   Currently qualified devices include the: Cisco uBR7246VXR / uBR10012 RFGW-1 / Time Creator 1000;  CASA C40G/ C100G / C100G  Mikrotik Routers.  Additional device support is being added on a regular basis. TelaWatch monitors 24/7 for cable modem outages; upstream signal quality; temperature changes; upstream / downstream utilization; partial service bonding problems; component failures (such as the DTCC and QAM cards); fan status as well as uptime and connectivity. It also allows for instant remote viewing of all devices installed as well as a rolling log of all alarms issued. Alarms will be sent to the mobile device when any user-definable thresholds are met. This is not a stand-alone app and does require some networking and engineering setup support, which Cablesight will provide.
