Paul,
if you handy with electricity go to your local Electrical or heating and
AC supply house. Buy a temperature controlled switch/contactor. They can
go from $30-100 dollars.
I bought one that is double throw and can turn on when the temp falls or
rises. It is used in the heating/AC industry to switch between Heat and AC.

Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that allowed
you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone. I was
interested in it for controlling the Tanis heater on my plane, but a
friend at work was describing needing something similar for his cottage to
turn on the heat and stuff when he's coming up for the weekend. Does
anybody know what I'm talking about, and can you give me a URL or a
company name?
