Hi,

We're in the process of buying a cabin up in Truckee, a 3-4 hour drive
from home. That's serious snow territory, so I was figuring we could
set up a remote-access home automation system. We'd like to monitor a
few in/out temperatures, control the thermostat, maybe some lights,
and a couple of cams would be cool. Decent DSL is apparently
available.

Any advice/recommendations/warnings?

Truckee very often has the record low city temperature in the
contiguous USA, especially in the summer. They can have frost any day
of the year. Tomorrow's prediction is 85F high, 34 low. Sounds like a
good candidate for some sort of heat storage system.

I haven't used this controller, but I did convert my house from X10 to
Z-Wave components and it works extremely well.

By the way, I drove through Truckee once. It was closed.
