A challenging problem.

I have a little device on my motor bike which senses vibration or noise
The makers have many variations and can be found here

OK this is the manual for the one I have but I think it links to other devices.
This gadget worked out of the box unlike all the others I have tried [20+]
I rings my phone if the bike is touched and I can listen in to hear what is going on
With the speaker turned on you can talk to persons nearby by ringing the device through the button, read all about it to get the gist

I have a tracker from Suz's Dads invalid buggy, and I was saying to Suz, I wonder if I could use that. It has an SOS button, which I could use to let me know the genny had stopped, but not sure how to get it to let me know the temp... having said that, I only need to know if the temp goes above 25ish, so could use a thermostat.

That one you linked to is nice and small, how do you find it regarding getting phone signal, as the first tracker I got spent more time out of signal than in. The one on the buggy has external aerials, which is why I got it.

This thing works with both wifi and the sim card. Most coms are via wifi, so it is cheap to run
I was amazed how simple it was and how reliable, so long as you have a power supply and a phone signal
I have a 2nd battery on my bike to run my toys, dash cam front and back, this also powers via USB the Reachfar gadget.
With my bike 2nd battery plugged into an Aldi solar panel it will run the gadget for days when the bike is out of use
Tech support is good I have had help via Skype or WhatsApp, just have to be around when China is a work
At around <£25 a bargain.

If you set on of the gadget up to warn of noise you could make the noise with a stat connected to a buzzer,
Buzzer goes off, your phone rings and you can hear the buzzer [simples]

Cheers, the Wifi is handy, as we have that in the van already, and we can then have a sim with a different provider to give better coverage.

I'll give it some more looking.
