[GRLUG] remote temperature monitoring

[signals42 at gmail.com]

While it might be overkill, I just bought a Honeywell WiFi thermostat to replace my failed dumb-thermostat and it does alert you if the temperature drops below (or rises above) user-set limits. Not sure I'd recommend the Honeywell because it relies on Honeywell's servers instead of letting you talk to the thermostat directly, so it's not very hackable. 


Otherwise a Raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone and a temperature sensor would probably do the trick. 😉

Hey guys, I'm going to be gone from the GR metro area for a couple of months.  Do they make some type of wifi enabled remote temperature monitoring appliance, preferably with some type of text/email alert function, so if the furnace craps out I'm notified?
