If you're asking about the Iris system, it has thermostats that replace standard 24V thermostats. There are also flood alarms and many of the devices (including some switches) actually report temperature in the room they're in. You can also set conditions to have the system text or call you when those conditions are met (temperature, doors/windows/intruder, floods, smoke, CO, motion, etc.)

On the cheap... Nest Thermostats ($200-$250 each)can be controlled from most any mobile device. Nest also sells webcams that can be accessed remotely. You can buy DLink $60-$200) ones as well. Neither of these have a monthly charge.

As long as you have power and a reliable internet connection these work well.

If you want to control any more than that, the whole home systems discussed here may be better.
