House remote temperature monitoring

[MNgopher]

A lot of other reasons besides a power failure that the heat may go out...

Our HVAC folks are in the middle of money making season here, and our electricity is pretty much reliable (average member in our co-op experiences a power outage once every four years...).

Can't speak for other climates, but try turning the heat off in the winter and see what happens...

I haven't used one personally, but my father in-law uses a similar device to monitor the humidity in his music room:

Govee Wi-Fi Thermo-Hygrometer

Monitor humidity and temp levels in your greenhouse, incubators, or wine cellar wirelessly and get highly accurate readings accessed on the Govee home app.

ca.govee.com

It claims to send temp/humidity alerts wherever you are, suggesting your phone doesn't have to be connected to your home's WiFi for it to receive an alert.

I have a couple of D-Link Wi-Fi water sensors set up in my house - I haven't had an alert while away, but I can see the sensors periodically wake up from power saving mode to sync their status, so I know I would get the alerts if an issue arose.
