[Hai-users] Lifespan of RC-80s and monitoring service question

[Robert Stratton]

Has anyone else had repeated failures of RC-80 thermostats? I've been
through two in about 18 months. I've temporarily put back the old Honeywell
Chronotherm, which I don't like, because I'm afraid to put another RC-80 in
only to lose it.

Also, I'm giving some thought to some of the more net-friendly monitoring
services. Has anyone found one that's got a decent user interface, and
speaks the digital communicator protocol? I suppose I could just put
Web-Link II up on a known port, but I don't like exposing Microsoft web
servers directly to the Internet.

Thanks,
