1. A system for remotely monitoring digital signage, said system comprising:
display assemblies, each comprising:
an electronic display;
an additional component for operating the display assembly;
sensors for monitoring conditions at the display assembly, where at least two of the sensors are of a different type from one another;
a local controller for the electronic display, the additional component, and the sensors; and
a network connection device in electronic connection with the local controller;
one or more servers, remote from and 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:
establish a data connection with each of the display assemblies;
receive and store measurements made by the sensors of the display assemblies and, for each of the display assemblies, operating parameters of said electronic display and said additional component for operating the display assembly (collectively, the “data”), wherein said data is stored in a sensor/component specific and a display assembly specific manner;
receive user data requests; and
for each of said user data requests, generate data output displays comprising a user specified subset of said data associated with a user specified subset of said sensors/components and a user specified subset of said display assemblies indicated in the respective user data request, where at least one of said data output displays comprises a time dependent graph of data from at least one of the user specified subset of said sensors/components of at least one of the user specified subset of said display assemblies.
