Prototype Complete - Anybody looking for something new!!!

I just finished my prototype notification device. What it does is detect when my changer is down (the out-of-service light illuminates). Then the software I wrote takes the signal and sends emails to any valid email address and also sends a text message to my cell phone letting me know I have a changer that is out of service. The software tracks the status continually and displays it to the screen. It also auto-resets itself when the changer is back up.

You need a PC running windows, an available USB port, and an always-on internet connection to make this work.

Do any of you know if something like that exists today? If not I think I might try to market the device. The prototype cost me $150 to build, but it will service both of my change machines and differentiate between them with unique messages in the emails and SMS text messages.
