Re: Advice for PC controlled home heating

[Simon McCaughey <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also have a look at my solution. It relies on time based programs, as

are
very happy with it, especially with the ability to text it so the house is
warm when you get home. Would mean rolling your own relay control though...
