Interesting idea. I'm not sure how scalable this would be given the fragile nature of the tools.

I want to believe with enough indications of the monitoring itself (Is the screen being refreshed? Is network connected ? When was it last checked?) that this is a viable option and that would unlock a lot of possibilities.

But I can't shake off the feeling of uneasiness (What if it's not working and we don't know it's not working)

PS: I'm not bashing on what was done, just the general idea.
