Dear Bogleheads
We are in a situation where we may need to monitor a home remotely for several months (no occupant).
Insurance will require physical check every 48-72 hours, so that can be arranged.
However we'd also like an online system which provides real time monitoring:
- burglar alarm is less relevant/ not necessary - there won't be much in the home of value to steal -- we might have a Ring type monitor, I am not sure quite what is planned in that regard
- main thing is checking that the heating still works (Eastern climate ie cold in winter)
This has unleashed a host of home security companies with high pressure sales and year long contracts+. We don't need this solution for that long.
Does anyone have any recommendations for "off the shelf" solutions? Home will have broadband access.
