1. A system for remotely monitoring digital signage, said system comprising:
display assemblies, each comprising:
components for operating the display assembly including a fan and an electronic display comprising a liquid crystal layer and a backlight;
sensors for monitoring conditions at the display assembly including a temperature sensor;
a local controller in electronic communication with the components and the sensors; and
a network connection device in electronic communication with the local controller;
one or more servers in electronic communication with the display assemblies, said one or more servers comprising software instructions, which when executed, configure the one or more servers to:
receive data from the display assemblies including temperature readings from the temperature sensor, operating levels for the fan, and illumination levels for the electronic display;
store the data such that data points thereof are each identifiable to a respective one of the display assemblies and a respective one of the sensors and the components;
receive data requests, each requesting specific information; and
for each of said data requests, retrieve a subset of the data points in accordance with the data request and generate at least one data output display based on the subset of said data points, said at least one data output display including one or more line graphs comprising at least one line for each of the temperature readings from the temperature sensor, the operating levels for the fan, and the illumination levels for the electronic display, where such information is requested in the respective data request.
