Remote controlled thermostat

Submitted by moballa on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 01:09.

Hello,

I have a cottage that has electric baseboard heat. Each room has a thermostat. There are 8 thermostats in total. I would like to have a system that I can remotely change the cottage heating environment to a preprogrammed mode by telephone or internet. i.e. One simple telephone call or web visit to select the programming mode of each thermostat. I could go with 8 standard programmable thermostats to make things comfortable while we are at the cottage...but when we leave or before we arrive, it would be great to be able to simply hit one button (by phone or by internet) and everything goes to "away mode" or "stay mode". Does anyone know if any such product exists that doesn't require re-wiring?

Thanks,
Marco

As I suppose it's very old function. but...it would be a nice news for workers of phentramin-d, who are anxious about that question.

Tasks

Submitted by andy0000 on Thu, 08/05/2010 - 09:08.

We all want to have a robot to pick up our slack around the house. With home automation systems it's just like having an extra person to help with tasks.

I have heard the term

I have heard the term thermostat for a quite long time as I am working in such a department. However the concept of a remote controlled programmable thermostat was not in our minds until now. Well, in my opinion I think it would be a great idea to install such a device in your house. However like always there seems to be a problem because you are searching for a product that requires re-wiring which I very well doubt!

Honeywell Aube 7-Day Programmable Baseboard Thermostat (TH106)

Submitted by Smith on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 16:24.

This 7-day programmable thermostat has an LCD screen to display temperature, time, day, mode, heating command. The TH106 unit operates on 120/240 V and requires a two wire installation. Triac switching means 15 second cycles to provide the most precise temperature control ± 0.27°F. You can modify the thermostat to use 15 minute cycles for fan-forced heaters. Rating: 4000 W @ 240 V, 2000 W @ 120 V, 16.7 A resistive load, 60 Hz, SPST.

NOTE: Will not work with the phone controllers: CT240-01 and CT241-01
