Remote House Monitoring
Peter Costello heard a recent episode in which Dick talked about monitoring the power supply on his boat by calling its answering machine.  Peter has a similar need for his vacation home in the mountains, but he goes one better.  He has a SensaPhone which will call him automatically if the AC power supply in the vacation home gets cut, if water is detected in the basement, if the temperature crosses the lower and upper thresholds, or if the smoke alarm has been set off.
