It can tell you about temperature, power outages (I think), and even let you listen in on the room where this monitor is for unusual sounds. I'm at work, or I'd be able to give you the product name and contact info ... send mail for more info. -- Dave Buck {aeras,amdahl,ames,ardent,daver,netcom,sun,zygot}!dlb!dave D. L.

I presume that that means the temperature drops, the device calls you, you punch in the code for 'turn on the heater' and hang up. Sounds like a twenty dollar thermostat would be a more cost effective solution than this $1000 gadget. However, for info call 1-800-872-9436 (Omega).
