How about the PC-based home control systems? They certainly
let you monitor and set any appliance, X-10 usually, but
also
things like thermostats. For a real cheapy solution on the
temperature, you could get one of those phone responders
that
are intended for vacation homes: you call it up, and it
tells you
what the temperature is, and maybe whether the heat is on,
all
by voice.
