Hello all. I'm a new user and just had a (hopefully) simple question for you. I've got a furnace at a cabin that I'd like to control remotely. I've come across some products that allow you to remotely control a relay via SMS or phone call. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could hook this up? I assume the furnace would need to continue to run, and I'd wire the relay to the thermostat input or something to trigger it to turn on?
I read in the FAQ not to post links so I will not link to the product in question, but can anyone give me some pointers to get going in the right direction? Is control via GSM a bit overkill?
