Great solution for second home...
I live in Chicago and have a rural weekend home about 80 miles away which I keep minimally heated in the winter. Friends recommended a freeze dialer but I don't have a landline so that wouldn't work. I do have broadband service however, so the Honeywell Lyric was a great solution. It was relatively easy to set up and I put it in the basement to keep tabs on the temperature, as well as to detect a water leak, should the water heater blow or something else cause a flood. This has provided me peace of mind, especially during periods where I can't get out there for several weeks.
I also love that there is no monthly monitoring fee or service that I have to subscribe to, as I'm not looking for any more monthly bills to pay.
The only enhancement I would like to see is if it would be possible to take the temperature "on demand" instead of at the predetermined once, twice or three times per day that the system currently supports. But as it is, this device enables me to check on things if we get a cold snap and alert me to a significant drop such that I could probably get out there and address any problem before the house would freeze and create a real nightmare for me.
