Hi people,

I live on a small acreage and I have two wells and two pump rooms on
the property. Winter temps frequently get below freezing so I have to
keep a small heater in them to prevent pipes freezing overnight.

Currently I use some cheap indoor/outdoor thermometers to monitor the
temp inside the insulated enclosures but I have to walk to each one to
check it.

I need some temp senders so I can have a remote station in the house
and each one can constantly indicate the inside temp so if the heater
dies I can get down there and fix it. I can have a switch to cycle
through them manually I do not need a 4-station setup but that would
be a nice luxury, cost permitting.

There is 110v in all places so batteries are not an issue. Can anyone
suggest a CHEAP kit I can get? The farthest away sender would be about
800 feet.

Thanks in advance.
