LCH wrote:I am not a home automation type person, but I do have a need and an interest. I have a second house in the mountains and last year had my pipes froze. I want to be able to keep an eye on my house and the thermostat with my iPhone. I am thinking I would also like to turn my water heater on and off from my IPhone, etc.... I work too many hour at my job to be able to become really literate at home automation or computers. I am an ignorant user. I need as close to a plug and play as I can get. Any advise?
The house has linkis wifi, I use an iPhone iPad and a Mac
You really won't find a out of the box solution... Indigo is a good solution, but there are other solutions as well...
What are your requirements? Do you have a price range that you would like to stay within? Are you planning to use this exclusively for your "second home"?
If you are looking for exclusively at the second home, then take a look at Smarthome.com, and look at a dedicated bundle for your thermostat...
