Leave the house to snowbird but worry about "what goes on back home"? Or maybe you’ve got that nice half-million motorhome investment sitting down in storage--is everything OK there? Maybe the "Sensaphone" is what you need. A pricey ($395) gadget, the Sensaphone 400 is like having a silicon chip security gaurd who stays up all day a night looking for trouble.
What kind of trouble? Well, let’s say you’re RVing through Texas, and back home in Minnesota the furnace breaks down. Sensaphone detects that a pre-set "low" temperature has been met, and your pipes are in danger of freezing. Sensaphone picks up your phone and calls up to four different folks, letting them know there’s a problem. Or maybe (heaven forbid) your smoke detector goes off, the power goes out. Any of these things cause the Sensaphone to rocket into warning mode, calling, and recalling, until somebody responds. For a few extra bucks, you can even get the "add on" thermostat module that allows you to remotely reset the high and low side of the home (or RV) thermostat.
Even if nothing goes wrong, you can also "call home" and have your system "run down" the status, maybe even "listen in" to your home for a few seconds. Of course, you’ll need a telephone line at the location where Sensaphone is doing it’s e-watchdog routine, so some RV storage locations may not be up to the assignment. Nevertheless, it’s another one of those, "Gee, think of what technology can do," things. Check out the full-scoop on Sensaphone’s website.
