We monitor the inside and outside temps at our Adirondack cottage with an Acu-Rite Home Internet interface that uses up to three wireless temperature and humidity sensors. It's connected to our router with an Ethernet cable. We have no need to adjust the temperature at the cottage, but the high/low temperature alert texts and/or emails are enough to let us notify someone local that can respond to any issues as needed. We can also check the current and past 24 hour temps at any time with our phones and laptops. When we still had our dog, we also had an Acu-Rite Home and sensors in the motorhome to alert us when were off shopping, etc, leaving the dog there alone.
