HI, Sounds promising, will it still work with the battery disconnected ? if i was going to steal a mini the first thing would be to remove the battery.

Our service will support different devices.

Many devices on the market have long term power loss abilities, with backup power supplies.

I used the Minivation one. It was good despite the slightly complex interface/app requirement, but it just stopped working after about a year - no doubt due to it being based on cheap Chinese tat hardware.

Mine was a Minivation one too, and mine also stopped working after about a year, they have now stopped responding to my emails, and previously gave some very "non customer friendly" responses.

This is the reason we have moved to start our own service.

Yeah, I have been using my own service since the beginning of June.

I am currently working on setting up the website side of things, but the service is up and running!
