HVAC with heat pump for vacation home

[bluechipjr]

Is there a SAFE controller that will power the heat pump on via telephone command? We will leave the thermostat pre-set to desired temp.
We currently turn the hvac off at the circuit breaker. Can the breaker be left on and use a controller to turn on the hvac?
Thanks!

Turning on and off devices by phone is a simple matter!
As you have found out finding the right controller is hard to locate!
Check Automated Outlet they carry a vast amount of controllers for many different systems!
You may even wish to just look at some of the many different controlable thermostats
I'm sure their helpful staff can point you in the right direction!

This is the telephone interface, You would also need a Venstar Heat Pump Thermostat.
