One of these days I'll automate it so that it just does it on it's own (pretty easy actually) 
Turn on Heat (or AC) at the Lake if we are within 50 miles of the lake house and off if outside 60 miles (to avoid bounce). |
Not really. If you know that you will vacation every weekend, and don't want to replace the old furnace... the unit is very simple in nature and will hold the lower temperature all week and then increase it on the week end.
A seven day option may be more desirable if the schedule is a bit different.
But it may be the only choice without a furnace upgrade.
