Thanks a lot for your great work on this! Can you give me a hint on how to access the API? I tried to get the know how by reading Github info, but could not get it figured out....
edit: mea culpa, just after this post, i found it on Github. If you wonder where to find it: https://github.com/jbruce12000/kiln-controller/blob/master/docs/api.md

This info is for the people who have JBruce's solution or want to make it happen.
I created a little Node Red flow so i get a Telegram message on my phone in case anything happens with my kiln. In short, this gives a telegram message when: 1. The kiln-controller service starts/stops, 2. When and which schedule is started, 3, If a stop command is received, 4, when the schedule is finished.
Besides that, there are 2 other currently unused functions, the current temp and the target temp. I left these out of scope, since i am going to use these values to send them to my home automation dashboard with some other stats.
Some info:
Node Red itself: https://nodered.org/
Node Red (raspberry howto): https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi
Required Node: node-red-contrib-telegrambot-home
How to use this ?
Get Node Red up and running, ad the node node-red-contrib-telegrambot-home and restart node red (see howto above). Adjust the text in the "switch" node accordingly to what's in your daemon.log file (tail -f -n 30 /var/log/daemon.log) on your Pi. Since i'm a Dutchman, you probably have to change some values ;-). For Telegram you have to use Google, but it's not hard to accomplish.
After that, you have to import the following flow in Node Red:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
