We're planning a month long vacation this winter, and I'm looking for ways to warn us if the furnace goes out. Our daughter will be stopping by occasionally so we don't plan to do a full shut down, but we don't want to be worrying about this through the whole trip. Ideas so far:
1. We have close neighbors and know we could count on them to call us so a temperature controlled switch like this: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-CW200A1032-E1-CW200A-Watchman/dp/B00099DG8A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1544038873&sr=8-3&keywords=Winter+Watchman+Temperature+Signal This was the only model I could find, and the reviews aren't reassuring.
2. A web camera, with a large dial thermometer in the view so we could see what was happening. Most seem to require a monthly monitoring fee and we would have to make a point of checking in regularly to see that all is OK.
3. A full security system with cameras and sensors. These seem expensive and I'm not sure we could justify the initial & on-going costs.
Any other ideas?
