Re: Thermostat status

["none" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

Check out the home automation stores (like www.smarthome.com,
www.automatedoutlet.com, etc.etc.) and look in the HVAC sections. You'll
find all the major players in the home automation HVAC equipment (and you
can research further from there).

The only problem is you'll want to get one that is compatible with your
system and there is suprisingly llimited support between the various
manufacturers.
