What I'm doing in a case like that is have the system send a copy of the
vacuum etc. messages to my email account. So I check in on those values once
in a while and if I think I need to become active I actually call the
customer and tell him it's time to do some maintenance.
Most customers appreciate the cost free service of monitoring the thing for
them. Well, you'd certainly have to disclose up front that you'll be getting
system information emails sent.
