Trying this IOT thing. Got the mountain cabin all wired up and on the net. It's pretty awesome. Temps spike when furnace runs, and drops when folks go inside and cold air rushes in. SMS text delivers alerts if things go out of range. Gives you peace of mind. It's cold up there.
First one went belly up today. All good til they break. So it's not about price. It's about they just keep working... Luckily my mate Bish (he's remote too right now, in Florida) had one of his guys go check it out. So it's just the sensor that went bad.
Made in USA has a chance if they do it right and not do the Walmart thing. Else the Germans and Japanese and Swiss will take it.
