I’ve been wanting to set up something like this for a remote cabin to turn on the heat some hours before we arrive when it’s really cold. But even $5/month seems like too much for us. If it was pay per use, that’d be great.
I was excited by helium but it seemed too difficult to setup. Wasn’t surprised to find out that nobody was actually using it for, you know, data.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoIf you already have bought and maintain a vacation cabin, is $60/yr really that much?
- alex_suzuki 4y agoPersonally I would say no, given that you could do other things via that link that are not just convenience, e.g. intrusion alert.
- Scoundreller 4y agoIt’s a real dump with messy ownership, I assure you. It’s actually for future planning in case we sort out the ownership and install a heat source that isnt just the wood stove.
- sleepybrett 4y agoI do this by calling the full-timer living on the same cul-de-sac as the family cabin. Maybe costs me a beer if he drops in to say hi.
- therein 4y agoSo the family cabin has landline connectivity too then, or cellular coverage.
- sleepybrett 4y agothe first, it could, the second .. certainly not at&t which i can only get a single bar of if i stand on a certain spot.
