Is everyone using web enabled thermostats or is there another way to do that?
Would be nice, but I have electric baseboard heat. Don't think they make them for that.
I turn off the water and drain all the pipes. I then leave the heat on in the basement at 50f to ensure the foundation does not get pushed in by deep frost. This only happens in extreme cold areas like I have.
I also set up web camera's in some of the rooms. I have large analog thermometers I can look at from those cameras if I want to verify the heat is still what I expect. If not, neighbors have keys and are only a phone call away.
