We use a weather station from Ambient and have remote sensors in the greenhouse and other places. It can send email alerts. You can also monitor the complete history of it online. I am not sure of the range of their sensors, but they send temp and humidity information. They are meant to be coming out with soil moisture sensors as well, but I think they are having problems with them.

A geothermal heat pump exchanges heat between the ground or water source and the air to heat. We are using the pond for the geothermal loop. The heaters use electricity, and also have the capability to use propane. > One of the temp monitoring systems we use is a T&D WIFI Temp Logger. It can send emails or an audible alert.

I have 2 sensors on the GH, one at the back end (120' away from the house) and one in the front. The main station is upstairs in the house where the system has line of sight to the 2 sensors. It will beep if the temperature gets too low. > > I would also like to figure out some smart device to connect to my Amazon Echo device, so I can ask Alexa to verify the temperature. I haven't figured out how to accomplish yet. Something like in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
