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?

Michelle;

I respectfully suggest you contact Peter Tanis

and ask him what he thinks about using a thermostat to cycle an engine
heater on and off with changes in OAT.

A pager's monthly fee would be much cheaper than a cell phone.

Really? Here in the UK you can get a cellphone on a
pay-as-you-go basis. As long as you're in credit, you can
receive incoming calls, SMSs, whatever (remember in
the UK you don't pay for incoming calls either).

Some schemes say you have to top up every x months, so
you might have to stick a fiver (£5) on every 3 months.
Then maybe make £4.90 worth of calls to get your value
for money from it! :-)
